Task 7: Laura Mulveys Theory


Laura Mulvey examined representation in music videos and she is not happy with what she found, she states that the world is made up of the active/male and the passive/female meaning that in music videos the women are always the ones who are represented as like they are up for a good time, we feel this because nearly always in a music video the women are dismembered to show the audience the most attractive parts such as their legs and breasts. The men on the other hand are always represented as the chasers who constantly eye up the women like they are pieces of meat.
