This integrative literature review aimed to
identify the contributions of ethnographies undertaken
with older adults in theses of postgraduate programs in
Brazilian Higher Education Institutions. Data collection
occurred in June 2012 in the Scientific Journals Gateway
of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher
Education Personnel. A total of 11 theses was selected,
using the terms ethnography and older adult, and inclusion
criteria. Three categories emerged: The ethnographic
methodology as a strategy for describing cultural aspects
related to old age; Older adults and social participation,
mobilizing research problems; and, Older adults’ health
in the ethnographic perspective. The methodology seeks
to deepen the knowledge of the culture, through detailed
descriptions of older adults’ daily lives, relationships
which are established, and meanings attributed to the
experiences of health and chronic illness. Ethnography has
contributed to the analysis of forms of the sociocultural
context, which are reflected in the reading of the everyday
and in the ways of experiencing and expressing old age.
