The Gaze

Lacan Jacques Lacan Anxious state that comes with the awareness that one can be viewed. The subject loses a degree of autonomy upon realizing that he or she is a visible object. People modify their behaviour under the belief that they are constantly being watched even if they cannot directly see who or what is watching them.

Laura Mulvey Second-Wave Feminism The Male Gaze The male gaze may be seen by a feminist either as a manifestation of unequal power between gazer and gazed, or as a conscious or subconscious attempt to develop that inequality.

Male Gaze A woman who welcomes an objectifying gaze may be simply conforming to norms established to benefit men, thereby reinforcing the power of the gaze to reduce a recipient to an object. Welcoming such objectification may be viewed as akin to exhibitionism.
