Abstract

The present work aims to investigate the identity of aging from the memories of travestis aged over 40 (forty) years from the city of Maringá, Paraná; it is based on the oral studies of their memories and as well as the travestis' understanding of old age in relation to their own body, the visibility of being travesti and how the transformation of their bodies supports them, or not, for a resistance to old age. It also intends to reveal how the relation of the body occurs as a constant transformation, what implications the processes of modification have exerted, what concerns about aging and whether the cross between being transvestite and aging transports them to a possible social invisibility.
