Imagem corporal e envelhecimento: Vicissitudes de uma tragédia moderna (I) Body image and aging: Vicissitudes of a modern tragedy

Abstract

(A) Abstract This article aims to articulate perspective which indicates horror as a reaction to ag- ing social ideal of eternal youth, and appeal of biomedical techniques for plastic surgery. We know that human aging can be distinguished according to various concepts: chrono- logical, biological, social and psychological. Thus, aging of body is also determined by physical, psychic and social factors. We do not deny objectivity of aging of body. We cannot, however, deny psychic and social influences over perception of aging body. In this sense, we aim to establish certain points regarding the body, and to discuss modern tragedy, which believes in will and freedom of action to counterbalance aging of body. #) (K)
