Media representations of dis/ability in sports
In popular media discourses, the experience of disability has frequently been interpreted and depicted as a lack of human potential, underpinning what is conventionally understood as “normal.” From
Too old for photosharing
Our standards of beauty have become sufficiently diverse. However, the representation of older women continues to be marginalized in mainstream media platforms, with the dominant ageist message revolving around the notion of ‘failure.’ For a woman, the ‘horrors’ of aging are felt more conspicuously, which renders her a devalued commodity. Within Indian society, aging is further contested by varied socio-cultural factors that prescribe an older wo…
Robbed out of mind’
Abhi Toh Main Jawan Hoon' (For I am forever young)
Representations of older women in film and media have reiterated the negative stereotypes of age-induced incapacitation and loss of voice and agency. However, actor Zohra Sehgal, hailed as the "grand old lady of Bollywood", re-engages with the normative construct of the passive/submissive screen characterization of an older female.

Bharat Mata's anthropomorphic image as a 'living mother' can be traced as the idealized, asexual, pure figure of the past which attempts in recognizing the secular-national terrain where she can claim her own 'geo-body'. With nudity emerging as a…

Design/methodology/approach This study was conducted by analyzing primary data from government sources that dealt with the aging Indian population and the common predicaments that elderly women exp…
Reconceptualising the (in) visible aging self of women in select Bengali films
For several decades now, the incidental category of ‘woman’ has been systematically analysed through a pluralistic lens where race, class, and sexuality have cohesively positioned women as discursive subjects. Yet, age persists to be one such integral variable, which women across all cultures strive to cope with as it emerges as a potent threat to the Other’s subjective identity, her embodied experience and feminine desirability. In the Indian co…
