    The investigation object of this doctoral research emerges from the researcher's concerns in face of the precipitated questions from the decision to learn to ride a bicycle. This is a case study of the experience lived at 57 years of age, in the aging phase, a woman, white, cis, straight, middle class, retired, but active in professional activities related to her academic training in Pedagogy and Psychology , mother, grandmother, married, residing in the city of Salvador. Its structure revolves around a single case study with an autoethnographic qualitative methodological characteristic in which, starting from a single, spontaneous individual subjective experience, the author describes her encounter with herself, in the encounter with the other and the transformations in the self, resulting from these encounters. The use of autoethnography favored understanding the meanings that the person attributes to their own past experience, opening new meanings to this experience. Having as problematic the decision to learn to ride a bicycle and the repercussions in the different spheres of her life, it proposes to understand the resulting transformations. The analysis process engendered its own paths and routes that favored (re)flexing on the experience, planned through images and in the making of a cartography describing the trajectory of the self in transformation. It was observed that, when approaching the aging phase, the late injunction awakens the desire of a child who hibernated for long years: riding a bicycle. The path taken in the fulfillment of this desire triggers the methanoia of the last phase of life, bringing to light issues that crossed it and modifying its relationship with i her body, with people, with the city. She called this process cyclomethanoia, defined as the cyclical experience of methanoia. It validates the importance of the autoethnographic method and highlights the importance of research on themes that highlight the role of women, their relationship with the body and the aging process; the use of bicycles as ways of health care and resistance to bio-power over their bodies; about caring for the environment and the ways in which individuals relate to the city.

    (Universidade Católica do Salvador, 2019-03-19) Ferreira, Marilaine Matos de Menezes; Rabinovich, Elaine Pedreira; http://lattes.cnpq.br; Motta, Alda Britto da; http://lattes.cnpq.br; Maurício, Maria Deolinda Antunes Luz Lopes Dias; http://lattes.cnpq.br; SIlva, Cirlene Francisca Sales da; http://lattes.cnpq.br; Moreira, Lúcia Vaz de Campos; http://lattes.cnpq.br
    This research approaches to aging from the analysis of the narratives of the elderly and their relatives. An exploratory, descriptive and qualitative approach has been carried out as the research design. The purpose of this study was to understand how the elderly person and their families perceive the aging and how it impacts their quality of life and family relations. For the data collection, we conducted free interviews, obtaining the narratives of the relatives from three guiding questions. With the elderly person, besides two generative questions of narratives, we used an activity with key expressions where they discussed the units of analysis, selected a priori from readings in publications about aging. Through these narratives we can comprehend the phenomenon from the perspective of the elderlies and their relatives. The participants' selection was by criterion of accessibility and convenience, being aged from at least seventy-five years, without any distinction of gender, educational level, ethnicity or socioeconomic status. They were required to have the cognitive conditions to understand the study's propositions, and to discuss their narrative coherently. We used as data analysis method, Content Analysis, which revealed the following dimensions: perception about aging; quality of life in old age; family relationships in old age. The elderlies and their families perceived aging as a "natural process," and diseases that affected mobility and the occurrence of pain were considered typical of aging. Aging has impacted older people's satisfaction with their daily lives. The factors that influenced the quality of life were: physical health, level of independence, being able to decide and to control their life, possibility to perform physical and leisure activities. There was no prejudice on family relationships in old age, being considered that this is a period of approximation of family members. Also were discussed the units of analysis highlighting: body, family relationships, socialization, losses and invisibility of old age. It is important to emphasize that the research did not result from homogeneous discourses. On the contrary, when we investigated the perception of the elderlies and their families, we face a diversity of narratives worthy of further study.
