노장년 여성의 섹슈얼리티와 주체적 삶: 영화 <69세>와 웹툰 <엄마들> 노장년 여성인물 분석

Abstract

Elderly female characters are alienated from media content, often featuring in the background without being portrayed as the protagonist. In particular, elderly women were often replicated in the media as people who were devoted to their families and were full of “motherly love”, or unable to live their lives independently. As the shape of elderly female characters become fixed, their diversity is not captured. In addition, elderly women are considered to be silent. As a result, their sexuality is not readily accepted in media content. However, given that aging is inevitable, a balanced view of the lives of elderly female characters is needed. Based on the movie <An old lady> and the webtoon <Mothers>, the main story Will analyze the sexuality of elderly female characters, and their will and behavior. Two works are noteworthy in that the elderly female character is the main protagonist and shows an active will to live. In particular, he shows that he lives by practicing life directly with his will. However, <An old lady> and <Mothers> pursue different paths in expressing forms of sexuality. At the age of 69, he actively strives to become a non-gender. It is a way to actively escape from the objectification of sexuality and reveal one's identity. On the contrary, Mothers actively ignite sexual desires that reach beyond moral and ethical judgment. In “Moms,” mothers reveal their identity by actively releasing their lives, desires, and sexuality rather than their motherhood. Through these works, you can see various aspects of the elderly female characters in the media contents.
