“…Other analyses deal with the problem of sexual violence against the elderly portrayed in films, exemplified by the South Korean picture An Old Lady, directed by Lim Sun-ae (2020), based on the story of a 69-year-old woman raped by her physical therapist. The study highlighted the educational dimension of the film, especially for social workers caring for the elderly and the possible pathological phenomena associated with this (Park, 2021). Contemporary research on ageism in audio-visual culture also highlights the need to develop a new methodology that broadly covers the problem of depicting masculinity and femininity at different stages of life.…”

The issue of old age in sports is rarely tackled by film directors, as one would be hard-pressed to see this juxtaposition as culturally justified. However, two films directed by Charles Stone III -Mr. 3000 (2004) and Uncle Drew (2018) -both clearly focus on these issues, addressing the issue of ageism in sports, where an old person has to be excluded from participating in a competitions, as shown by the main message of both of the analysed films. The study was conducted on the basis of qualitative analysis of films as media messages, focusing on three levels of problems -historical and social, semiotic, as well as ethical. The author sought answers to a set of questions, including the historical and social context of the phenomenon of ageism in sports as depicted in the analysed films directed by Charles Stone III? In what manner is the issue of ageism framed in a symbolic way that reveals the myths and ideologies regarding perceptions of youth and sports, which prevail in the American society? In the course of the study, the author managed to challenge the cultural convention of the opposition of youth and old age by pointing to the psychological, rather than just physical, basis for discovering one's identity as a senior citizen.

Cet article interroge le regard que portent nos sociétés sur les violences sexuelles subies par les personnes âgées, en explorant l’âgisme comme facteur qui peut expliquer la perception actuelle entourant la sexualité et les violences sexuelles envers elles. Bien que la violence sexuelle soit une thématique largement étudiée, sur le plan international, peu de recherches se concentrent sur les personnes âgées. Suivant les différentes perspectives et disciplines, leur prévalence à l’encontre des personnes âgées varie entre 0,9 et 15 %. À l’instar des populations plus jeunes, les personnes âgées ayant subi des violences sexuelles sont également plus à risques de subir une victimisation secondaire si elles ne sont pas crues lors de leur témoignage. La victimisation secondaire consiste à revivre le traumatisme par un événement lié ou non au traumatisme initial. Les professionnels de la santé ne sont pas formés pour accueillir, détecter et orienter leurs patients âgés, victimes de violences sexuelles. Cet article se termine en proposant quelques pistes de réflexion quant au modèle de société dans laquelle nous aimerions vivre et vieillir.
