Program

Celebrities are key cultural mediators, shaping how audiences interpret the world. While widely studied, ageing celebrities remain less explored, despite their growing presence across films, TV, and social media. In a society where ageing redefines cultural models, they challenge stereotypes and offer new narratives of visibility, well-being, and social engagement. Analysing this link helps understand how media reshape ideas of ageing today.
