Sexual Objectification and the Male Gaze
( Laura Mulvey)
Definition of voyerism: Erotic pleasures gained from looking at a sexual object ( who is unaware of being watched)
- Prescence of women solely for the purpose of display rather than a narrative function
-Females on display that are passive and objectified for the male gaze regardless of the viewers gender.

-The inclusions of women for display is a staple element in music video's across all genres.
-women connote to-be-looked-at-ness and are the object of the Male gaze.
