RESUMO:

In this research I problematize objectivity and subjectivity in the "anthropological work" based on the Anthropologist and Anthropologist's Code of Ethics, a discussion that appears as the background of an ethnography with elderly people in the city of Natal-RN. From the 1970s, the social sciences, especially, anthropology causes proliferate ethnographies with a focus on aging, drawing attention to its social and not merely biological character. Work is carried out in asylum institutions. Gradually, the serious problems faced by these institutions throughout the country become commonplace in the literature on the subject. This situation has often been aggravated by what has been called a kind of "omission" of the State and Society in relation to the elderly population. It is well known that many of our old men are left in places like this to die in silence, neglected by the state. Thus, in this work, I call attention to a peculiar and dramatic phenomenon in contemporary societies. It is the "social production of indifference", a concept that guides the discussions of this text. This research is being developed at the Juvino Barreto Institute in Natal-RN. It is a philanthropic "shelter" for the elderly. I seek from ethnography, spontaneous conversations, informal interviews and "participant observation" to draw attention to the contents of the relations established between the Modern Bureaucratic State and the "old". To do so, I discuss the theoretical contributions on "recognition" and the experiences and narratives learned during the research, drawing a relation between "recognition" and "social production of indifference", alerting to the "letting die" policy and existence of mathematic bodies, unworthy of mourning and importance in the face of the "insensibility" of the state and its institutions, I speak of unrecognized bodies outside of the frameworks, marked by the indifference and state insensitivity that relegates them to be classified as a "social problem." Next, I intend to describe situations of conflict with the bureaucracy from the narrative of the elderly of the Juvino Barreto Institute, to understand to what extent these situations are articulated with the concepts of "social production of indifference" and "social production of suffering" whose "naturalization of suffering" appears intertwined. These latter concepts are abstractions that I make in the sense of enabling a possible intelligibility to the field. Collect cases of elderly residents in Juvino Barreto in order to identify the moments in which they felt the weight of the "bureaucratic cage" in their lives. I am interested in the occasions when they and they have been deprived of all their humanity to the detriment of the observance of norms at the cost of an insensitive and indifferent treatment on the part of a bureaucrat or a bureaucrat. I present the bureaucratic system as the "ideal type" and the critic, designating it as a producer of indifference. Finally, I intend to argue in favor of the positivation of what has been called the "Brazilian way" as a possible way out of bureaucratic insensitivity. I will expose, from the narratives of the elderly, moments in which "tidy things worked out" in the implementation of some demands before the state bureaucratic apparatus. In this chapter I intend to gather from the elderly moments that, despite the existence of bureaucratic rules, they were simply ignored, flexed, flexibilized through a maneuver, of someone who gave a "way" to demand to be fulfilled, despite the disrespect to the strict rule . I begin the boldness to interpret the "Brazilian way" as a way of resisting the Modern Bureaucracy, the "disenchantment of the world", the violent impersonality, the contempt for the sufferings of the "other." So the "Brazilian way", so criticized by most people, as something that distances us from "more developed" countries. I would like to point out that this research is in progress and is subject to modifications, improvements and criticisms. Like all knowledge that is meant "scientific" I do not follow dogmatisms or fixed positions and I believe that "error" is also science, as well as ethnographic data.
