Think of the ‘male gaze’ you see in the movies or popular media. How would you recognize it?
Reflect on any other gazes you might encounter in visual media – whose gazes are they, in what contexts can you see them?
Can you think about any specific examples of the narratives in which the male gaze is absent from the depiction of women, or which feature different kinds of gazes?
Can some examples simultaneously feature male gaze; try to subvert it?
In popular media, how do you think is the gaze related to the consumer culture and target audience?
Gaze can be subconscious – so how does it impact our approach to women, marginalized communities, different social groups, etc?
