Abstract
[Abstract] The present work is placed within the realm
of Sociology of Education and related Third
Age Policies. The sociological investigation of
the birth of the Universities of the Third Age,
within the specific framework of the education
of the elderly, involves the investigation of pro-
blematic of the concept of Third Age itself,
taking into account that this problematic trans-
lates into a rupture with the concept of elderly
and the way is dealt with as well as other
dependant concepts such as old age and third
age. Therefore, we find relevant and funda-
mental to research the sociological problematic
of this concept by studying different authors.
Authors such as Fernandes (1997), Guillemard
(1980, 1986) and Lenoir (1979) will be studied
as they analysed specifically the social proces-
ses that gave rise to the birth of the Third Age
concept, in particular the transition process
from an invisible old age to an identified old
age, from which new and specific social poli-
cies were born along with their different views
on management of old age.
