Novos direitos e novas cidadanias no envelhecer do século XXI: a realidade do idoso no Brasil

The present work, forged in many hands, diversity of views, and multiplicity of knowledge, is a portrait of Brazilians. It reflects a society that needs to think about aging, which is marked by the wrinkles and institutionalized inequalities of daily life in social isolation of the sexagenarian, aggravated by the social distance in this context of a pandemic that embraces everyone, strangles some, and the most socially vulnerable eliminates. It is organized in three sessions, thinking about Legal Institutions in Sexagenarian Citizenship, Aging and Revolution 4.0, and Health and Longevity Policies, in which the concerns represented, result in intertextuality that is complemented in the dialogue, criticisms, and demonstrations between operational ideals. Institutional conditions and the concrete realities of a severe life for the elderly. The studies shared here discussing issues and indicating possibilities from a Lacanian approach, in which the existence of the older person is taken into consideration, to develop proposals for the institutionalization of spaces, practices, procedures, but above all, of the strategic recognition with actions for the maintenance of the social integration of the older person in society. This approach departs from the perspective of an update, not only semantics of rights, but in the establishment of new rights that update the dignity of the elderly human being, giving force to their citizenship. This collective work, meeting the requirements of the notice, brings reflections facing the challenges of globalization permeated by Revolution 4.0; it discusses the transmutation of labor relations and social roles that are reorganized in their technological drag, to combat and minimize the effects collateral, social exclusions produced, such as the absence of new means of connection and social relationships due to the flows and communication environments of the digital age, considering the construction of subjectivity and constitutional identity of the elderly.
