Laura Mulvey
The male gaze
Laura Mulvey is a feminist film theorist
who coined the term ‘Male Gaze’ in
1975.
The gaze is a concept dealing with how an
audience views the characters presented.
A feminist considers…
• How men look at women
• How women look at themselves
• How women look at other women
The concern which Laura Mulvey had was
that the gaze highlights the superficiality of
women and the way they look, giving
pleasure to the viewer rather than focusing
on what they are saying or doing in the
narrative.
In todays music industry males as well as women
are often represented in a highly sexualised way.
