Abstract

La finalità generale del presente studio fenomenologico è di comprendere le ricadute educative del coinvolgimento attivo di dieci anziani musicisti nell’esperienza di insegnamento/apprendimento intergenerazionale (IAI) ad altri dieci giovani musicisti con difficoltà economiche, ospiti entrambi nella stessa Casa di riposo. L’obiettivo specifico è, invece, quello di comprendere se attraverso la musica è possibile creare condizioni favorevoli alla costruzione di un ponte generazionale e l’influenza che tali condizioni esercitano nel rimuovere gli stereotipi legati all’età, a relazioni distorte e ad atteggiamenti negativi tra persone appartenenti a generazioni differenti. Il metodo di ricerca “meticciato”, fenomenologico nell’obiettivo e grounded oriented nell’analisi dei dati, ha agevolato nella fase euristica l’individuazione dei temi ricorrenti nei discorsi degli anziani intervistati. Dall’analisi dei dati sono emersi quattro temi degni di nota: l’impegno sociale, il senso di autostima e la sensazione generale di benessere, gli atteggiamenti positivi nei confronti dei giovani, la musica come “oggetto mediatore” tra età della vita differenti.
