Abstract

[This chapter raises and analyses the millenary tradition of ageism that still persisted in Western society. Fed by prejudices, myths and the plot of the social imaginary, the scientific approach of ageing is permanently delayed and postponed. The pandemic time coronavirus continues this path and is uses as a legitimiser of stigmatisation and confinement, perspectives that also respond to a perverse logic of scarcity, of what is left over, of what must be discarded, within an increasingly precarious and weak social fabric. So, as social imaginery, coronavirus poses challenges and problems to ageism through the re-emergence of the paradigm of decrepit ageing, vulnerable and inevitably facing death.]
