Abstract

This ongoing thesis in the Doctoral Program in Communication and Languagesat the Universityof Tuiuti of Paraná (Universidade Tuiuti do Paraná - UTP) with a doctoral internship at the NewUniversity of Lisbon (Universidade Nova de Lisboa - UNL) was supported by CAPES / PDSE -Programa de Doutorado Sanduíche no Exterior [Doctoral Program Abroad “Sandwich”] from2011 to 2013. This study intends not only to include the voices of aging individuals in Brazilianpublic communications through the media interaction system (from print to digital) but also toverify the potential of online social networks for encouraging the participation of elderlycitizens. Among the authors used to support the selected theme are Matos (2009, 2010, 2011)and Duarte (2009). The central hypothesis is that the interaction between publiccommunication systems and the elderly Brazilian population, which mostly entails the socialvictimization of the elderly in the current media, could be better qualified by means ofinteractions in online social networks by enabling greater engagement in public affairs andutilizing their social capital.
