The coming of age in Laís Bodanzky’s Chega de saudade
Keywords:
Laís Bodanzky, Chega de saudade, aging, timeAbstract
Over the past several decades, critical age theory has begun to question the narrative of decline that dominated discussions of the aging process throughout the 20th century. Recent research on the intersection between age and gender in the social sciences points to ongoing changes in the ways women in the third age see themselves and how they are seen by others. By contrast, in the domain of the humanities, literary and film narratives offer fertile terrain for the study of the impact age and gender have on subjectivity. Hence, this paper examines the construct of age and it’s intersection with gender in Laís Brodanzky’s film narrative Chega de saudade (2008).
