Laura Mulvey - The Male Gaze
Laura Mulvey developed the theory of the male gaze in 1975. The male gaze refers to how audiences are forced to view certain people, especially women, from a heterosexual male perspective. Key aspects of the male gaze include the camera lingering on women's bodies, portraying women in the context of men's reactions, and relegating women to the status of objects for the male viewer. However, the male gaze has been criticized for not accounting for women who enjoy being observed in this way, such as at beauty pageants, and for overlooking non-sexual gazes between people of the same gender related to body image or fashion.
The Male Gaze Theory
Laura Mulvey developed the concept of the "male gaze" in 1975, which refers to the perspective through which most films are viewed and portrayed, through the eyes of a heterosexual man. Some key features of the male gaze include focusing on and sexualizing women's bodies even when irrelevant, and portraying women as objects for men to look at. While controversial, the male gaze theory suggests that the camera and audience view women through a lens of male power and superiority. Criticisms argue that some women enjoy being looked at and the gaze can be directed at same gender individuals for non-sexual reasons as well.
Laura mulvey the malegaze theory
Laura Mulvey's Male Gaze theory argues that in film and media, the camera lens represents the perspective of the heterosexual male viewer who objectifies female characters. This denies women their subjectivity and reduces them to objects for the male gaze. Mulvey suggests this reinforcement of patriarchal ideals through media can influence societal norms by making female objectification seem normal or desired. The theory is exemplified through common techniques used in films like James Bond to highlight women's physical features from the male perspective.
Male gaze theory 2016
Laura Mulvey developed the theory of the "male gaze" which argues that cinema and visual media are typically constructed from a masculine point of view that objectifies and sexualizes women for the pleasure of the male viewer. She identified two ways women are depicted: "voyeuristic", seen as sexual objects, and "fetishistic", seen as madonnas. Examples are given of Hollywood pin-ups like Marilyn Monroe being voyeuristic. The theory also holds that male viewers identify with powerful male protagonists who control the film's fantasy. Mulvey's theory was influential in explaining how media representation enforces patriarchal social norms.

Laura mulvey Media theories
Laura Mulvey was a British feminist film theorist known for her essay "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema" which introduced the concept of the "male gaze". She argued that in classical Hollywood cinema, the camera presents women as objects of male pleasure through shots that emphasize their physical attractiveness. Mulvey believed this objectification reinforces the idea that women are inferior to men and forces female viewers to identify with the male perspective. Her theories provide insight into mainstream music video conventions and how they can be subverted or applied in creating one's own video.

Gender gaze
Laura Mulvey coined the term "male gaze" in 1975 to describe how films typically depict women from the perspective of a heterosexual male viewer. According to Mulvey, the male gaze objectifies and denies women their humanity by portraying them as passive objects valued only for their physical appearance and how they make men feel. While influential, Mulvey's theory has also received criticism for not considering other factors like ethnicity, class, and age, and for suggesting women cannot be strong protagonists or take pleasure in being viewed. Debate continues over whether a "female gaze" exists and if it reinforces or challenges traditional gender roles and power dynamics.
Laura Mulvey's Female Gaze Theory
Laura Mulvey introduced the concept of the "male gaze" in her influential essay "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema." She argued that in most films, the audience is positioned to view female characters from the perspective of a heterosexual male viewer.

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.

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.

Barthes’ five narrative codes
Roland Barthes proposed five narrative codes that can be used to analyze and understand the meanings and interpretations of a text: 1) the hermeneutic code refers to mysteries or enigmas in a text that create intrigue; 2) the proairetic code contains sequential elements of action that add suspense; 3) the semantic code suggests additional connotative meanings; 4) the symbolic code uses symbolism and opposites to develop tension and meaning; 5) the referential code refers to external cultural, historical or scientific knowledge referenced in a text. These codes provide ways to unravel and derive multiple interpretations from a text.
Male gaze theory
Laura Mulvey developed the male gaze theory, which argues that in film and media, the audience is positioned to view scenes from a heterosexual male perspective. This reinforces patriarchal ideals by portraying women as objects to be looked at. The male gaze reduces women's roles to supporting characters defined by their sexuality and relationships to men. While some criticism argues that the male gaze can empower women, Mulvey and others contend it reflects and perpetuates the subordination of women in society.
Applying the male gaze theory
This document analyzes Miley Cyrus' music video "Wrecking Ball" through the lens of the male gaze theory. It examines four shots from the video that portray Miley in increasingly provocative ways, concluding with a nude shot of her. While Miley defended the video as representing emotional destruction, others argue it uses her sexuality to attract attention by appealing to the male gaze. The document evaluates whether the love story narrative is overridden by the provocative portrayals of Miley.
Mulvey and the gaze
Laura Mulvey analyzed how mainstream films appeal to the "male gaze" through the representation of women and the act of spectatorship. She argued that most films are made from the perspective of male directors for a male audience. This results in active male characters and passive female characters who are presented for visual pleasure. The male spectator can gain narcissistic pleasure through identifying with male heroes and voyeuristic pleasure through objectifying and fetishizing female characters.

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
Mulvey and the gaze
Laura Mulvey analyzed how mainstream films appeal to the "male gaze" through their representation of gender. She argued that most films are made from the perspective of male viewers and directors, featuring active male protagonists and passive female objects of desire. This encourages male viewers to identify with male heroes and objectify female characters, gaining voyeuristic pleasure from looking at them without guilt. Mulvey drew on Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalytic concepts like scopophilia and the mirror stage to explain how cinema appeals to viewers' narcissism and satisfies their unconscious desires.
Mise-en-scene
Mise-en-scene refers to everything that appears within the frame of a film, including actors, lighting, décor, props, and costumes. The director arranges all of these elements to construct representations of characters. Mise-en-scene can be split into production design, which includes location, set design, costumes, props, and lighting design including color. When analyzing stills from films and television, mise-en-scene helps reveal aspects of a character's identity through elements of props, costumes, lighting, set design, and location.
Coursework – why research is so important MS3
The document provides guidance on conducting research for a media investigation coursework essay. It advises that the essay should include a mixture of the student's own analysis along with research from other academic sources and applying their findings and theories to the case studies. It recommends starting with key concepts related to the topic, like genre or representation, and searching academic writings about the topic. Students should choose 1-2 specific television episodes or scenes for analysis and include the views of academics as well as their own analysis applying communication theories. An example is provided of a student essay paragraph that establishes an academic viewpoint, directly quotes it, and then provides the student's own analysis of a text in relation to the theories.
Male Gaze
This document discusses theories of the male gaze from several scholars including Mulvey, Ferguson, Schroeder, and Millum. It defines the male gaze as the voyeuristic way that men look at women. It outlines different types of gazes, such as the spectator's gaze and the intra-diagetic gaze. It also summarizes key aspects of several theorists' perspectives on male gazes, such as Mulvey describing active male and passive female roles and Ferguson identifying looks like the "chocolate box" and "invitational." The document aims to define and categorize different types of male gazes.

Traditional vs Interactive Marketing
This is the second lecture for my Interactive Global & Regional Marketing course. This presentation covers the differences between traditional and interactive marketing.
Men's Health Case Study
Men's Health magazine targets men aged 20-40 from upper working class to lower middle class. It has over 1 million readers, most from middle class backgrounds. Owned by Rodale Press, the magazine focuses on lifestyle topics tailored for men, such as fitness, food, sex, and style. Articles promote an idealized masculine physique and advertisements feature toned, shirtless men to appeal to male readers and sell products.
Evaluation 7 final
The student has learned many improvements in photography, design, and magazine production from their preliminary school magazine task to the final magazine product. Specifically:
1) Their photography skills improved through learning techniques like depth of field, lighting, framing models effectively, and using Photoshop tools.
2) The design of the magazine improved by using more professional fonts, strategically placing cover lines, and designing a contents page influenced by existing magazines.
3) Their overall knowledge of magazine elements like page count, layout, and price improved to create a more polished final magazine.
Regional identity
The document provides instructions for writing a media essay analyzing how a film extract constructs representations of regional identity through technical aspects like camera shots, editing, sound, and mise en scene. Students are advised to plan their answer before writing, focusing their response on each technical aspect in turn or tracking the extract chronologically while using examples. They are instructed on how to structure their response using a Statement-Quotation-Inference framework and given an example introduction paragraph. The document also provides guidance on continuing the analysis over multiple scenes and preparing work for marking.
Pitch
This document provides details about a proposed music magazine called "WAVESMAGAZINE Pitch". It would have an indie pop genre and be inspired by the sound of listening to music. The target audience is 16-25 year olds of both genders and it would take inspiration from other magazines in terms of style and pricing while featuring covers inspired by artists like The 1975.
Magazine Analysis
The magazine cover features Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas looking directly at the camera with serious expressions. The title "Billboard" is placed on the left side of the cover rather than at the top, which is unconventional. The color palette uses feminine berry tones and masculine reds and blacks to appear gender neutral. The positioning and styles portrayed in the image aim to show a new, more mature side to Lovato and Jonas beyond their previous Disney careers.

The Male Gaze
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 as objects to look at. This relegates women to the status of objects and requires female viewers to identify with the male perspective. The male gaze lingers on women's bodies and defines events through men's reactions rather than women's experiences or agency. While some argue that not all depictions of women are inherently objectifying, the male gaze framework suggests that visual media often presents the female form from a patriarchal perspective that reduces women's roles and empowerment.

The male gaze
This document discusses the concept of the "male gaze" as coined by Laura Mulvey in 1975. The male gaze refers to the perspective through which audiences have to view characters in films, which is usually that of a heterosexual male given that films typically have male directors and camera operators. Key aspects of the male gaze include the camera lingering on female curves and women being presented through how men react to them, effectively making women objects. While the male gaze theory has faced some criticisms, examples like Miley Cyrus' music video for "Wrecking Ball" clearly exemplify the use of the sexualized female body to attract the male gaze.
Laura Mulvey’s Male gaze theory
The male gaze theory proposes that in film and media, the camera adopts the perspective of a heterosexual male viewer. It objectifies and sexualizes women by lingering on their bodies and presenting them as objects for the male gaze. Women are portrayed as passive objects for the male characters and the audience, while men are depicted as active and dominant. The theory suggests that media socializes both men and women to view women as objects that exist for the pleasure and reactions of men.
Laura mulvey male gaze theory l1
Laura Mulvey developed the influential Male Gaze theory, which proposes that in film and media, the audience is positioned to view scenes and women from the perspective of a heterosexual man. This denies women their identity and reduces them to objects for the male gaze. Mulvey also suggests that women can only watch films from a secondary perspective and view themselves through a man's eyes. The theory argues that media perpetuates patriarchal ideals by masculinizing the viewer and objectifying and sexualizing female characters.
The Male Gaze Theory - Laura Mulvey
Laura Mulvey introduced the Male Gaze theory in 1975, suggesting that women are typically presented as objects to be viewed sexually from a heterosexual male perspective in films. The theory examines how audiences perceive people, especially women. When viewed through a feminist lens, the Male Gaze can be seen through how men look at women, how women see themselves, and how women view other women. Features of the Male Gaze in music videos include the camera lingering on the female body and events involving women being presented through a man's reaction.
Laura mulvey (therosit) on representation
Laura Mulvey developed the theory of the male gaze to describe how audiences view characters in film from the perspective of a heterosexual man. The male gaze objectifies women by focusing the camera on their bodies and presenting events through a man's reaction. It also relegates the female viewer to identifying with male characters. While some criticize that the gaze can apply to same-sex interactions and that some women enjoy being looked at, the male gaze theory argues that most mainstream media portrays women through the lens of how men view female sexuality and attractiveness.
Laura mulvey
Laura Mulvey introduced the concept of the "male gaze" in 1975, which refers to how audiences are meant to view characters in films from the perspective of a heterosexual male. The male gaze objectifies women by reducing them to objects that are lingered on for their physical attributes and defined by a man's reaction. While Mulvey's theory focused on film, some note its presence in other media where the female body is unnecessarily sexualized. However, others criticize that not all gazing is meant to be sexual or reduce women, as gazing can be empowering or directed toward same-gender individuals for various reasons beyond sexuality.
Lesson 6 Male gaze
The document discusses the concept of the male gaze and how it objectifies women in film and media by focusing on their bodies and appearance from the perspective of the presumed male viewer. It outlines Laura Mulvey's theory of how women are presented as passive objects for visual pleasure through techniques like voyeurism and the male gaze. The male gaze refers to how women are viewed and presented as sexual objects through the eyes of the presumed male viewer rather than as full subjects.
Male Gaze Theory
The document discusses Laura Mulvey's "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema" theory of the Male Gaze. The Male Gaze theory suggests that media typically presents women from a heterosexual male viewpoint, as objects of male pleasure. Women are often portrayed through passive, objectified roles while men act as controlling subjects. Feminist film theory uses the Male Gaze to analyze how men look at women, how women look at themselves, and how women look at other women in media. The document provides examples from the music video for "Blurred Lines" that illustrate elements of the Male Gaze theory.
Mulveys male gaze
Mulvey's male gaze theory argues that women are typically depicted in media and film from the perspective of a heterosexual man for the benefit of the male audience. Specifically, women are often sexualized objects whose bodies are overemphasized even when irrelevant to the plot. This perpetuates sexism by reducing women to things that exist to be looked at for male pleasure. However, some critics argue that not all films adhere to this perspective and that female directors may depict women differently.
Laura mulvey
This document outlines Laura Mulvey's Male Gaze theory of how women are represented in media. Mulvey argues that women are typically portrayed as objects for the male gaze, with the camera emphasizing their bodies and sexuality. The document discusses applying Mulvey's theory by analyzing portrayals of women in music videos and film trailers. Students are tasked with watching various media clips and assessing whether they depict women as sexual objects focused on pleasing the male viewer's look. The lesson aims to have students understand Mulvey's theory, form their own opinions on modern representations of women, and consider how her analysis could be expanded.
The laura mulvey theory
Laura Mulvey developed the Male Gaze theory to describe how mainstream films typically show women as objects for the heterosexual male gaze. The theory argues that women are displayed for both the characters and spectators to look at, with the male emerging as the dominant figure. Mulvey believes this reflects an underlying power imbalance where the male gaze takes precedence over the female gaze. However, some disagree with aspects of the theory by arguing that some women enjoy attracting attention or that some media also objectify men.

Mulvey coined the term in 1975 to describe how audiences are meant to view characters from the perspective of a heterosexual male. Key aspects of the Male Gaze include the camera lingering on female bodies and presenting women as objects to be admired physically. Female characters often have no real importance themselves and only exist in relation to male characters or as erotic objects for viewers to watch.
Media essay
The document discusses the concept of the "male gaze" proposed by feminist theorist Laura Mulvey. The male gaze refers to how media and films typically portray women from the perspective of heterosexual men for the purpose of male pleasure. Women are often objectified and depicted in ways that emphasize their physical attractiveness rather than their humanity. An example is given of Megan Fox's character in the film Transformers, who is portrayed primarily as a sexual object through camera angles focused on her body. The document argues that mainstream media frequently utilizes the male gaze, reflecting an imbalance of power that prioritizes the male perspective and can negatively impact how women see themselves.

Checking Out Me History
The poem challenges the biased and Eurocentric history the poet was taught in school. It celebrates important figures from black history and the Caribbean that were ignored in his lessons, such as Toussaint L'Ouverture, Nanny de Maroon, and Mary Seacole. The poet questions what constitutes real history and who gets to decide. Through repetition of "Dem tell me" and imagery of blindness, the poem expresses the poet's anger at having his own identity and history obscured.
London
Blake's poem "London" describes the miserable conditions he observed in the city of London during the Industrial Revolution. Through the use of vivid imagery and rhetorical devices, he depicts a place defined by suffering, where poverty, child labor, and disease run rampant. Blake held those in power, like the church and wealthy landowners, responsible for failing to help the lower classes and end their endless cycle of misery. The poem expresses Blake's Romantic and political beliefs opposing the changes brought about by industrialization.
Storm on the Island
The poem describes a group of islanders experiencing a powerful storm off the coast of Ireland. Through vivid imagery of the violent wind and waves, the poem conveys the islanders' feelings of fear and isolation as the natural world's forces are more powerful than what humans can control or protect themselves from. The title of the poem also hints at deeper symbolic meanings, as the storm could represent the violent political conflicts experienced in Ireland.
Poppies
The poem describes a mother's emotions as her son leaves home to join the army. In the first stanza, the mother remembers pinning a poppy to his lapel as she struggles to contain her emotions. After he has gone, she visits his bedroom overwhelmed with grief. The final stanza finds her at a war memorial, leaving it ambiguous whether her son has died or she simply misses and worries for him. Throughout, the mother is consumed by memories of her son as represented by the poppy.
Kamikaze
The poem is about a father who embarked on a kamikaze mission in World War 2 but changed his mind halfway through. He faced a choice between an honorable suicide or living in dishonor as he would be ostracized for not completing his mission. The daughter speculates on why her father turned back, leaving his decision ambiguous. When he returned, the family treated him as if he was dead due to the shame of not fulfilling his duty, and the daughter learned to remain silent like the rest of the family.
