We were given a task to find music videos that has a representation of homosexuality, female gaze and a strong dominant female.
Here is a few key words that we have been talking about and learning about:
Voyeurism- (Freud) Erotic pleasure can be gained by looking at a sexual object (preferably when the object is unaware of being watched).
|Maria Carey- Touch my Body
Male Gaze- Laura Mulvey 1975 proposed that because filmmakers are predominantly male the presence of women is often for the purposes of display (rather than narrative). This is to facilitate a voyeuristic response in spectators, which presumes a male gaze (regardless of the gender of spectator) one that is or may feel like a powerful controlling gaze at the female on display who is effectively objectified and passive. In male performance videos the voyeuristic treatment of the female body is often apparent, with the use of dancers as adornments to the male star ego.
|Benny Benassi- Satisaction
Exhibitionism - Female performers being at once sexually provocative and apparently in control of and inviting a sexualised gaze in what could be termed as the opposite of voyeurism.
| Lady Gaga- Bad Romance
Male Gaze
| J-Lo Ft. French Montana- I Luv u Pupi
Homosexuality
| t.A.t.U - All the things she said
