The Male Gaze Definition


The male gaze is a concept coined by feminist film critic Laura Mulvey. It refers to the way visual arts are structured around a masculine viewer. It describes the tendency in visual culture to depict the world and women from a masculine point of view and in terms of men's attitudes.[1][2]
The male gaze consists of three different gazes:[3][4]
  • that of the person behind the camera,
  • that of the characters within the representation or film itself, and
  • the gaze of the spectator.
