- Abstract
The position of the family caregiver is symbolically related to the female universe and the feminization of caregiving as historical evidence that expresses the social mutations regarding the function of family since ancient times. Our interdisciplinary experience with the Interdisciplinary Program of Support for Elderly-PIATI at the Federal University of Campina Grande-PB placed us in contact with the following question: Are the family caregivers an endangered class? Through the oral history methodology a research in the home of low income families was carried out. An absence of adult family caregiver was observed and cases of co-care and coeducation among vulnerable individuals, that is, children and elderly were diagnosed. Our existential coldness has plastered us, therefore, made us emotionally weak. Those individuals are every day forced to acknowledge their dependence and fragility, what we are conditioned to continuously deny in order to work with competence and mastery in public life.
