Description
Summary:While intersectionality is increasingly the subject of research, the double discrimination of gender and age is still very rarely studied. To be a woman and to be old is to be hit with a double stigma in terms of representations. Indeed, old age is far from being a neutral genre. The differences in representations between male and female old age are numerous and, to underline them, the comparative approach is particularly efficient. Thus, the way in which the elderly are presented in Tatie Danielle by Étienne Chatiliez (1990) and Albert est méchant by Hervé Palud (2003) allow us to assess the difference in these representations according to gender. This study proposes to show that there is an intersectional differentiation, both of gender and age, in contemporary French cinematographic representations through the successive study of these two characters, Danielle and Albert.
