GENDER IN TV DRAMA
THE MALE GAZE
Laura Mulvey“Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema”
What is the Gaze?
The concept of gaze is one that deals with how an audience views the people presented.
For feminists it can be thought of in 3 ways:
How men look at women, How women look at themselves How women look at other
women.
Features of the Male Gaze
The camera lingers on the curves of the female body, and events which occur to women are presented largely in the context of a man's reaction to these events.
Relegates women to the status of objects. The female viewer must experience the narrative secondarily, by identification with the male.
