The concept of
gaze (often also called
the gaze or, in French,
le regard), in analysing
visual culture, is one that deals with how an
audience views other people presented. The concept of the gaze became popular with the rise of
postmodern philosophy and social theory and was first discussed by
1960s French intellectuals, namely
Michel Foucault's description of the
medical gaze and
Lacan's analysis of the gaze's role in the
mirror stage development of the human
psyche. This concept is extended in the framework of
feminist theory, where it can deal with how
men look at
women, how women look at themselves and other women, and the effects surrounding this.
