Aging is a growing process in the nowadays society and the elderly arise as a collective contemporaneous demand. They find a society different from that when they were born. The ancient social system based on social structures loose strength for a new social organization, not anymore based on status and social roles of their individuals,  but rather as a function of subjectivity, thoughts and actions that transform them in social actors. Their subjectivity is manifested when they show the capacity to nominate, that is, when they present emancipating narratives. We searched for fundamentals in Honneth, Touraine, Habernas, Huyssen, Beyme, Aronowitz, Laclau, Mouffe, Bell and Heller. The article was delineated assuming the conceptualization pointed out by theoreticians on demographic changes and the main subordinations that the aging process engenders and reflects on the subjectivity of the elderly and on their cultural and political actions in the post-modernity.
