TAKAHASHI, Fátima Gonçalves Messias  and  ALVES, Vicente Paulo. Representational images, public policies, and health education in an imaginary group of elderly community Quilombola–Kalunga de Monte Alegre de Goiás. Ensaio: aval. pol. públ. educ. [online]. 2015, vol.23, n.88, pp.567-591. ISSN 0104-4036.  https://doi.org/10.1590/S0104-40362015000300002.

The theories of the imagination of Gilberto Durand and the AT-9 Test of Yves Durand allow raise individual and group images. This survey was conducted through unstructured interviews on the imagination of a group of elderly individuals in the Quilombo-Kalunga community in Monte Alegre de Goiás (Brazil). The interviews also concerned public policies of education and health, which can provide these elderly people with better living conditions. It is known that public policies’ supply and control guidelines in education and health are transcribed in the Brazilian Constitution of 1988 and the Statute of the Elderly (Law no. 10.741/2003), but they do not effectively reach Brazil’s most remote locations. The research report seeks to demonstrate that along with the Kalunga culture of silence is governmental omission and patronage, leaving the population without education and health services.

Keywords : Imaginary; Elderly of the community Quilombola-Kalunga; Public politics; Education and health.
