THE EVIL TO BE IN THE OLD AGE LIKE SOCIAL CONSTRUCTION

Abstract

The present article discusses the evil to be what the aging of the body acquires in the contemporaneousness and the efforts undertaken to rejuvenate it taking as a reference what Michel Foucault called of bio-politics. Is it based on the understanding of body like a social construction that can be understood only in the interior of the culture that produced it, and from the contemporary worship to the body like a process that unfolds in successive apprenticeships that promise to free this body of ancient repressions, at the same time in which they set others up – new? – coercions.
