The document discusses Laura Mulvey's concept of the "male gaze" in film theory. Mulvey argues that films typically present the perspective of a heterosexual male viewer who objectifies female characters. This relegates women to the status of objects and viewers must identify with the male perspective. The male gaze lingers on women's bodies and defines events through a man's reaction. While some argue this allows female sexuality, critics say it still treats women as objects for the male viewer's pleasure through their visual representation.

Laura mulvey, the male gaze
1. Laura Mulvey introduced the concept of the "male gaze" in film theory, which refers to the way films are typically shot from the perspective of the heterosexual male viewer. This objectifies women and turns them into objects to be looked at.
2. The theory suggests that women are often denied agency and identity in films, existing primarily as objects for the male gaze. This can influence how women see themselves.
3. The male gaze is argued to be prevalent in many mainstream films and media, potentially reinforcing patriarchal social norms and power dynamics by influencing how both men and women see gender roles.
Feminism film theory
Feminist film theory views representations of women in film as culturally constructed and often unrealistic. Early feminist criticism examined the stereotyped portrayals of women in classic Hollywood films and their negative effects. These portrayals were seen as reflecting a male perspective since films were written and directed by men. Feminists called for more positive representations of women that were not defined by a male gaze or passive roles in narratives centered around male characters and their desires.
Male Gaze Using Film As Case Study
Laura Mulvey argues that in film and literature, the representation of women is dominated by the male gaze. She believes that patriarchal societies view men as active and women as passive objects. Traditionally, films portrayed women in stereotypical roles like wives, mothers, or sex objects, while privileging the male point of view. However, the character of Ellen Ripley in Alien challenged norms by depicting the first self-reliant female science fiction heroine. As women's social roles changed, their media representations also began to feature more career-driven and empowered portrayals.
Ideology in films
This document discusses how ideology is portrayed in films. It defines ideology as a set of ideas that reflect social values and influence beliefs and actions. Films can promote certain dominant ideologies around topics like family values, work ethic, consumerism, and gender roles. For example, many early Disney films portrayed women as dependent on men and finding romance as their primary goal. While more recent films like Sex in the City show how ideologies have evolved over time to depict women as more independent, they still reinforce the ideology of marriage as the ultimate achievement. The way things are portrayed in films shapes societal understanding and experiences of those topics in real life.
Mulvey lesson 8
The document discusses Laura Mulvey's concept of the "Male Gaze" in film. It explains that Mulvey coined the term in 1975 to refer to how audiences are positioned to view characters from the perspective of a heterosexual male. This constructs women as objects to be looked at. Features of the Male Gaze include the camera lingering on female bodies and presenting events that happen to women in the context of a man's reaction. The document also discusses various theorists' perspectives on the Male Gaze and its criticism.

Laura Mulvey - The Male Gaze
Laura Mulvey argues that in film and media, the male gaze objectifies and sexualizes women for the gratification of male viewers. Traditionally, women are portrayed in passive, stereotypical roles like wives and mothers, while men have active roles driving the narrative. However, the Alien film franchise introduced the strong female character Ellen Ripley, who challenges gender norms by being self-reliant and successfully battling threats. While Ripley is still sometimes portrayed as a sexual object, she represents growing female empowerment in media over time.

Target audience for thriller films Ryan Quinn
This document discusses the target audience for thriller films. It notes that the target age range is typically 15-50 years old as thrillers can appeal to a wide age range. It also notes that while thrillers traditionally appeal more to males due to their action focus, including relationships can make them more appealing to women. Additionally, it states that films with more action and violence typically target working to middle-class males. The document concludes that to appeal to both genders and a variety of classes and races, the film will need to consider typical thriller conventions like action and suspense while including a diverse cast.
Feminist Film Theory
This document summarizes the history and key developments in feminist film theory from the 1960s to the present. It discusses the major theorists and texts that shifted the focus from class to examining feminine identity and gender construction. Theories analyzed how women were portrayed in films and the male gaze of the spectator. Psychoanalytic approaches examined concepts like scopophilia and how cinema reinforced patriarchal ideals. Later works addressed issues like bisexual spectatorship and challenged the notion that femininity must be defined in relation to masculinity.
Theories of representation
Theories of Media Representation refers to how media constructs and presents versions of reality to audiences. All representations are constructions that show one perspective, not objective reality. Key thinkers like Marx, the Birmingham School, Hall, and Lacan viewed representation as a process involving power dynamics between media producers and audiences. Representation raises questions about whose perspectives are included or excluded in media and how audiences interpret these encodings.
Pulp fiction postmodernism
Pulp Fiction exhibits several characteristics of postmodern film. It contains many intertextual references to other films and cultural icons from the 1950s. For example, a scene set in a 1950s-themed restaurant features Marylyn Monroe and Buddy Holly serving the protagonists. The film also has a fragmented narrative structure and hybrid elements. These postmodern traits create a disorienting experience for audiences. Additionally, Tarantino stated that he wanted different viewers to take away different meanings from the film. This aligns with postmodern thinking that there is no single truth or absolute meaning.
Narrative structure in film
Narrative structure in film refers to how films tell stories through a sequence of events. Films use narrative form to structure stories, with a beginning, middle, and end. Key elements of narrative structure include an exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. Character development and conflicts between characters, nature, society, or other forces drive the narrative forward. Filmmakers select and order events to craft a plot that tells a version of the complete story in a concise time frame.
Mise en scene
The dominant contrast is Enid, dressed in bright blue. After taking her in, the eye is drawn to:
- Seymour, who is also a large object in focus. As the other person in the conversation, he is an important secondary focus.
- The kitchen backdrop and appliances, which provide context for the setting of the scene.
So in summary, after Enid, the eye moves between Seymour as the other character, and the kitchen setting around them, which provides information about where this interaction is taking place.
Laura Mulvey
Laura Mulvey is a prominent British feminist film theorist best known for her 1975 essay "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema," which introduced the concept of the "male gaze" and analyzed how Hollywood cinema represents women through the heterosexual male perspective and for the visual pleasure of male viewers. Mulvey's influential work inaugurated the intersection of film theory, psychoanalysis, and feminism and analyzed how the symbolic order of society is dominated by the heterosexual male gaze, which objectifies women as representations of male desires.
AS Media - Lesson 6 - Male gaze
The document discusses the concepts of look and gaze. It defines gaze as implying a psychological relationship of power where the gazer is superior. It then discusses Laura Mulvey's concept of the "Male Gaze" and how women are objectified for visual pleasure in film. The Male Gaze relegates women to the status of objects viewed through a man's reaction. The document outlines different types of gazes and provides examples of the Male Gaze in film and advertising where women are sexualized even when unrelated to the product. It discusses criticisms of Mulvey's theories and Goffman's research on gendered facial expressions and body language in media.
Montage
This document provides an overview of montage in filmmaking. It defines montage as the process of selecting and editing separate film segments to form a continuous whole. It discusses different styles of montage used in American, Soviet, French, and German film. Sergei Eisenstein is discussed as a pioneer in narrative filmmaking and the use of montage to evoke emotions. His methods of montage including metric, rhythmic, tonal, overtonal, and intellectual montage are explained. Eisenstein's views on the features of film and his dialectic approach to film form through visual and audio-visual counterpoints are also summarized. His famous film Battleship Potemkin is discussed as an example that tested his mont
Marxist film theory
Marxist film criticism is based on Karl Marx's theoretical ideas about society being defined by class struggles. Marxist critics analyze how cinema supports or subverts dominant ideologies. Films can support the ideology that individuals can change the world through hard work and good behavior, or they can attack ideology by discussing political issues or satirizing messages. Marxist critics evaluate films based on how they relate to ideology, whether directly supporting it, attacking it, operating against the grain to subvert it, appearing to endorse it but showing critique through flaws, or setting out to attack it but ultimately reinforcing it.
Marxist film theory pt 1
Karl Marx was a 19th century German philosopher who developed influential social and political theories about capitalism and class struggle. Some key aspects of Marxist theory discussed in the document are:
- Society is divided into classes based on relationships to economic systems like capitalism.
- Ideology perpetuates existing power structures by making them seem natural.
- Works of art and media reflect the class interests of their time and can challenge or maintain the status quo.
- Material conditions directly impact people's lives and analyzing these is important for understanding society and enacting positive change.
Gender in pop music videos: femininity
This document provides an introduction to theoretical perspectives for analyzing representations of femininity, including dominant ideology, the male gaze, voyeurism, dismemberment, performativity, and gender fluidity. It discusses these concepts in the context of analyzing music videos by performers like Meghan Trainor, Lily Allen, and Lady Gaga. Key theorists mentioned include Laura Mulvey, Jean Kilbourne, and Judith Butler. The document suggests applying these perspectives to examine how audiences are positioned and encouraged to look at women in music videos, and how female bodies are portrayed.
The french new wave
The French New Wave was a film movement that emerged in France in the late 1950s and 1960s. Inspired by young film critics writing for Cahiers du Cinema, it emphasized auteur theory and featured unconventional stylistic techniques like jump cuts, handheld camerawork, and location shooting. Directors like Francois Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard, Claude Chabrol, and Eric Rohmer made personal, politically-minded films that broke conventions and influenced global cinema.
Formalist film theory presentation
Formalist film theory views film as an art form rather than a reproduction of reality. It emphasizes that filmmakers can manipulate and mold images to create story and emotion through techniques like editing, lighting, and camerawork. There are different approaches under formalism like neo-realism and avant-garde. Formalism also focuses on how socio-economic pressures influence film style and the communication of ideas. Two examples are Classical Hollywood cinema, which created a closed, pleasant world for audiences, and film noir, known for urban settings and flawed main characters. Formalist theory also helped establish the auteur theory by arguing that films have authors like other artistic works.
Auteur Theory (TV Y1)
Auteur theory originated in 1950s France and argued that films should be viewed through the vision of the director, who imprints their personal style and themes onto films. Key figures like Francois Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard criticized traditional French cinema and promoted a more personal, improvised style with New Wave films. While influential, auteur theory overlooks collaboration and studio influence, and some directors like Peter Jackson are more accurately described as "metteurs en scene" rather than true auteurs.

Theories addressed are those proposed by Altman, Dyer, and Stacy regarding pleasures, escapism, and genre evolution over
Film theories
Structuralism states that culture conveys meaning through systems of signs and codes, similar to how language works. Structuralist film theory examines how films use conventions and codes to convey meaning to audiences. Structuralists believe experienced audiences can better understand films because there are underlying structures in film texts that experienced viewers are more familiar with.
Session 5b laura mulvey's gaze: Film Appreciation Course
Laura Mulvey's 1975 essay "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema" introduced the concept of the "male gaze", referring to how mainstream cinema codes the erotic into the language of the dominant patriarchal order. The male gaze objectifies and sexualizes women through techniques like lingering close-ups of the female body and presenting events through the perspective and reactions of male characters. This relegates women to the status of objects for the male gaze and separates the female viewer, requiring her to identify with the male perspective. Feminist film theory critiques how the male gaze constructs the eroticization and viewing of women in cinema.
Representation theories
The document discusses several representation theories:
- Mulvey's male gaze theory suggests that female characters are displayed for male pleasure and are passive objects of the male gaze.
- Baudrillard's hyperreality theory argues that representations have replaced reality and images now bear no relation to the real world.
- Dyer believes stereotypes in media reinforce differences between people and legitimize inequality.
- Hall discusses how media propagate dominant social values and ideologies and segment society.
- Gramsci's concept of hegemony explains how representations are used to control people by portraying the elite as capable rulers.
- Levi-Strauss discusses binary opposites and representations of dominant and subordinate groups.

- Levi-Strauss discusses binary opposites and representations of dominant and subordinate groups.
Representation theorists
This document discusses various representation theorists and their perspectives on gender, sexuality, race, and subculture. It outlines Judith Butler's argument against common feminist views of women as a group, and Laura Mulvey's theory of the male gaze in media. It also mentions Stuart Hall's views on hegemony and power in language, as well as Edward Said challenging concepts of East vs West orientation. Theorists on subculture such as Dick Hebdidge and Ken Gelder are outlined.
Northope fry Archetypal Criticism
This document discusses the literary theory of archetypal criticism. It defines archetypes as recurrent narrative patterns, character types, themes, and images found across literature, myths, dreams, and rituals. Carl Jung believed archetypes were "primordial images" stored in the collective unconscious and expressed through myths, religion, dreams, and literature. Northope Frye's work helped establish archetypal criticism as a method of analyzing texts based on the occurrence of universal mythical patterns. There are common archetypes like "The Journey," "The Quest," and "The Hero" that are found in stories across cultures. Archetypal criticism looks at how literary works tap into and refresh these archetypal symbols and themes.
Post colonialism and feminism
The document discusses the concepts of patriarchy, colonialism, feminism, and postcolonial feminism. It examines how women experience oppression under both patriarchal systems and colonial rule, referred to as "double colonization." Several key points are made: postcolonial feminism emerged in response to Western feminism focusing solely on Western women's experiences; indigenous gender roles were often more equitable than those brought by colonizers; and nationalist movements often appropriated images of passive women while doing little to liberate women from patriarchal subordination. The document also notes that postcolonial theory risks perpetuating patriarchy if it does not consider gender issues.
3c
The document discusses two theories: radical feminist theory and social control theory. Radical feminist theory argues that patriarchy, created by the capitalist system, oppresses women by explaining gender bias, violence against women, and repression. Social control theory, proposed by Travis Hirschi, argues that deviancy occurs when individuals are not properly socialized to form strong bonds to society, consisting of attachment, commitment, involvement, and belief. More recently, Hirschi and Gottfredson updated social control theory to argue the principal cause of deviant behavior is ineffective child rearing, which produces people with low self-control.

Male gaze laura mulvey
The document discusses Laura Mulvey's concept of the "male gaze" in film theory. Mulvey argues that audiences view films from the perspective of a heterosexual male gaze, which objectifies and relegates women to the status of objects viewed for male pleasure. The male gaze lingers on the female body and presents events through a man's reaction. Some criticisms argue that not all gazes are sexual and some women enjoy being looked at, but theorists like Jonathan Schroeder believe the gaze implies psychological power of the gazer over the object of the gaze.

Laura Mulvey - The Male Gaze
Laura Mulvey developed the concept of the "male gaze" in her 1975 essay, arguing that mainstream cinema reflects the underlying patriarchal power structure of society by privileging the male perspective over the female.

Stereotypes yr12 updated
Stereotypes are commonly held beliefs about groups of people. Tessa Perkins identifies 5 assumptions about stereotypes that can be challenged: 1) stereotypes are not always negative, 2) they are not always about minority or less powerful groups, 3) one's own group can be stereotyped, 4) stereotypes are not rigid and unchanging, and 5) stereotypes are not always false. Leon Festinger's theory of cognitive dissonance argues that people resist changing their attitudes unless faced with overwhelming evidence, and that people seek confirmation of their own beliefs. Evaluating Perkins' assumptions and applying Festinger's theory can help explain the popularity and portrayal of stereotypes in media like the TV drama Hotel Babylon

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
