Abstract

MARTINS DE MENDONCA, Maria Luiza  and  MOTTER DALA SENTA, Clarissa Raquel. Aging women in contemporary Brazilian cinema: other narratives, new looks. Palabra Clave [online]. 2012, vol.15, n.3, pp.571-593. ISSN 0122-8285.

In a consumer culture essentially visual, cinematic representations make up a social imaginary and integrate a symbolic universe that affects cultural practices. From that perspective, this article develops a research study and reflection on the representation of the aging female in contemporary Brazilian cinema, highlighting matrices of resistance in audiovisual narratives that respond to hegemonic practices. It is expected, nevertheless to provide plural, creative and subversive views about the subject, within women's liberation and possibilities of dialogue with the masculinity.

Keywords : Film; Representation; Brazilian Cinema; Aging Female.
