Abstract

This paper aims to present the representations of Copacabana related to lifestyles and consumption practices for a group of elderly people in the period that they call “golden years”. Based in a study with ethnographic inspiration, the group’s discourse shows the articulation between the moment they perceive as the ideal of the neighborhood and their own lives. Copacabana for them meant a route that goes from “emptiness” to “gold” and finally to “fear”. The first is represented as empty and lifeless space; the second reflect happiness, consumption and leisure; and the third is perceived as a moment of fear and decadency.
