  The present work, forged in many hands, diversity of perspectives and multiplicity of knowledge, is a portrait of Brazilianness. Of a society that needs to think about aging, which is marked by the wrinkles and institutionalized inequalities of everyday life in a social isolation of the sixty-year-old person, aggravated by social distancing in this pandemic context that embraces everyone, strangles some, and the most socially vulnerable , eliminates. It is organized in three sessions, Thinking about Legal Institutions in Sexagenarian Citizenship, Aging and Revolution 4.0, and Health and Longevity Policies, in which the concerns represented result in an intertextuality that is complemented in dialogue, criticism and demonstrations between operative ideals. institutions and in the concrete realities of a severe life for the elderly. The studies shared here discuss issues and indicate possibilities of a Lacanian approach, in which the existence of the elderly person is taken into account, so that, in respect for them, proposals are made for the institutionalization of spaces, practices, procedures, but above all , strategic recognition with actions to maintain the social integration of the elderly in society, from the perspective of an update, not only semantics of rights, but the establishment of new rights that update the dignity of the elderly human being, giving it vigor to the your citizenship. The collective work, meeting the requirements of the public notice, brings reflections facing the challenges of a globalization permeated by Revolution 4.0, and the transmutation of work relationships and social roles that are reorganized in its technological drag, in order to combat and minimize the effects of the collateral social exclusions produced, such as the absence of new means of connection and social relationships by the flows and communication environments of the digital age, thinking about the construction of subjectivity and the constitutional identity of the elderly person.
