Laura Mulvey is a feminism theorist who wrote an article that she believed woman in Hollywood Films were a figure of desire and men were more dominant in the roles they played as were the spectators. In the time and era of classical Hollywood Films the audience of the film were encouraged to identify the protagonist of the film which usually was men in Hollywood Films. Feminist theory will be included within my music and school magazine using some of the theories that Laura Mulvey believed in.
Voyeuristic – seeing woman as ‘whores’
Fetishistic – seeing woman as ‘madonnas’
These terms are
two modes of ‘male gaze’ of the time of classical Hollywood Films which Laura
Mulvey suggested in her theories.
Male Gaze –
this is seen in films to put woman into perspective of a heterosexual man. For example
when a woman’s curves seem to linger in scenes of the film.
