The Male Gaze; Laura Mulvey '85

Mulvey was born 15th August 1941, and is a film theorist, as well as a strong feminist. Mulvey argued that in film, women are often portrayed as sexual visual pleasures for men, a technique is used where the audience is put into the role of a man, and on screen the camera lingers on the female, displaying her as visual pleasure for men. The theory implys that women are seen as objects of men, and are made to view the media as in the perspective of a man.
