BAKMAN, Gizele. Notes on being a grandfather in the 21st century. Arq. bras. psicol. [online]. 2018, vol.70, n.2, pp. 96-110. ISSN 1809-5267.
Contemporaneity is a time marked by complexity and diversity in interpersonal relationships. The current generation of grandparents, like other members of a family, does not have norms and models of how to stand in the face of social changes. In this article I show, through one of the interviewees of my doctoral research, entitled "Grandparents, adoption and religion: family ties in the contemporary", how being a grandfather, today, is crossed by social complexities and changes. The grandfather position can be lived in a paradoxical way for those in which their role of man and provider is still seen as a model to be followed even in the new formats of being in families.
