It’s about how it feels to stand here in the world HAVING BEEN SEEN our entire lives… Or, in a line I heard in a web series today, we don’t write culture, we’re written by it. This third thing involves the way THE FEMALE GAZE DARES to return the gaze. This is how it feels to be seen… The gazed gaze. This piece of the triangle reps the Gazed gaze. The camera talks out at you from its position as the receiver of the gaze. I also think the Female Gaze is also using the camera to take on the very nuanced, occasionally impossible task of showing us how it feels to be THE OBJECT of the Gaze.

We will approach these concepts though the work of Laura Mulvey (Male Gaze 1975) and Jill Solway (Female Gaze 2015).Ī key idea of feminist film theory, the concept of the male gaze was introduced by scholar and filmmaker Laura Mulvey in her now famous 1975 essay, Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema.
