Resumo: From the relationship established between media representation and identity construction, the objective of this study was to analyze the representation of old age and aging in Brazilian cinema, problematizing this singularity in the construction of gender identity. Recognizing the patriarchal discourse as a hegemonic practice in western culture, responsible by the regulating of behavior and defining of media stereotyped patterns, the look turned here to the representations Brazilian that offer some form of resistance and/or criticism of the patterns of non-aging and to the look of male dominance. What are the new looks that emerge of representations of female aging in contemporary Brazilian cinema? Under what conditions these new forms of cinematic representation can operate? To answer these questions, we selected four Brazilian films produced after the Resumption of national cinema: Casa de Areia (2005), of Andrucha Waddington; Chega de Saudade (2008), of Laís Bodanzky; A Dança da Vida (2008), of Juan Zapata and Olhos de Ressaca (2009), of Petra Costa. Through the film analysis, we found the emergence of new forms of symbolic manifestation of aging, within the possibilities of women's liberation and dialogue with the male. We found also the building of creative and subversives looks on the subject, in alternative circuit and/or in commercial circuit.
