Sažetak
Madonna has an iconic status in the global entertainment industry. Because of her ongoing reinvention, she has been in a focus of media and academia for more than three decades. Throughout her career, Madonna creates, combines, and presents complex and contradictory messages (van den Berg i ter Hoeven 2013). Contradictory receptions and polarized readings of Madonna's artistic and activist interventions concerning race, sexuality and gender identities are highlighted and are reflected in her messages about old age and aging. Since the 1980s, Madonna has drawn the attention of feminists and generated heated debate about whether she is a feminist or actually anti-feminist. The analysis shows that this pop icon is characterized by a specific sensibility that Rosalind Gill (2012) calls “postfeminist sensibility.” Madonna's experience of ageing and her narratives about ageing presented in media are defined by the fact that she is a white, heterosexual and privileged woman. Her recent public resistance against gendered ageism is based on a simultaneous critique of the establishment and perpetuation of old meanings, norms and expectations along with the commodification of the cult of youth and youthful appearance.
