New reflections on the Posgerontology

Abstract

The Posgerontologia raises an epistemological reading, critical and policy on the stories with which is built the aging and old age from the gerontology. This article will review critical and politically to the gerontology, both as a cultural object exotic - by its all-encompassing claim -, and as a field of knowledge whose budgets explicit and implicit impinge on its object of study. These factors put into consideration the settings that you must make any field of knowledge compared to the changes that it prints the context. As well as also expressed the need to account for the effects of the reality that built on the various forms of knowledge and social practices.
