This paper discusses the historical production of the old age considering the dispositif of age. A genealogical tracking is outlined in order to point out some lines that have configured statements about the old age, especially in biopolitical contexts. It is emphasized how the discourses of truth about the old age do produce regimes of subjectification and constitute subjects from normalizing and generalizing references. Starting from the deconstructing of discourses regarding the old age, it is indicated the possibility of considering the experiences of the old age aside from the forms of tutelage and from the forms of calculated management of life.Downloads
