Abstract
Improvements in living conditions translate into a greater number of senior population. Costa Rica shows an accelerated process of aging population, which should be analyzed under the light of a critical social theory from the south, the constructs that modernity has manufactured about what it means to age, based on stereotyped premises, that generates discrimination against senior population affects the full enjoyment and exercise of human rights. Comprehension about how the subjects of study assume their aging will contribute to this liberation struggle.
In a rapidly- aging world, studying how people enunciate this process will allow promoting human rights as a task that is based on the recognition of the dignity of this population group, as a practical project of resistance and vindication of freedoms.
