Analysis of the Male Gaze

DEAL Exercise 3 Instructions & Rubric – Spring 2022

For DEAL Exercise 3 you should turn in a reflection of at least 850 words, but not more than 1000 words. These entries will require you to DEAL with the extra material provided for you. That is, you will: Describe, Examine, and Articulate what you are Learning. For DEAL Exercise 3, you must read the article “The male gaze is more relevant and more dangerous than ever” from New Review of Film and Television and “What is the male gaze? Definition and examples in film” by Kim Leonard. Both articles are provided on Canvas.

For each of these categories consider reflecting on the following:

Describe:

- What cultural and/or social phenomenon was most striking to you in the reading? Why or why not?

- Was this phenomenon something new or something you had already encountered in your study of race/ethnicity, history, socialization, power, and society? If so, how? If not, where had you already encountered this?

Examine (from an academic perspective):

- How does this experience enhance your knowledge of a specific reading, theory, or concept? Does it challenge or reinforce your prior understanding?

o Hint: How might the reading relate to class discussion from chapters 3, 5, and 12, etc.?

Does it relate to topics in other courses or experiences you have had? How so?

- What do you disagree with? Be sure to provide counterpoints.

Examine (from a personal experience):

- How did this phenomenon make you feel? How did you react to it?

- What assumptions or expectations did you bring to the situation? To what extent did they prove true? If they did not prove true, why was there a discrepancy?

- How have past experiences influenced the manner in which you responded?

- Did your observations of this phenomenon reveal any of your own attitudes or biases?

Articulating your Learning

- What did you learn? How did you learn it? Why does this learning matter and how important is it? How will it affect the way you understand and interpret society and culture in the future?

Formatting Instructions*(see formatting example on page 3)

- For each DEAL exercise paper, you should use the general APA format. For more information on APA format, see the Purdue OWL resource guide: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_g uide/general_format.html

o Key points of these formats are:

▪ Size 12-point fonts (Please use Times New Roman font)

▪ Double spaced

▪ 1” margins

- Each paper needs to be a minimum of 850 words and a maximum of 1000 words.

- Save and upload your paper as a PDF to Canvas. Because students use a variety of different writing programs (i.e., Word, Google Docs, Pages, etc.) it is easier for me to download and grade everyone’s work if everyone saves and uploads their work as a PDF.

Various customs and norms in society are passed from one generation to another. When most people in society follow particular norms, it becomes challenging to negate them. For instance, in the " visual pleasure and narrative cinema," Mulvey illustrates how the culture and tradition of the visual narratives portray masculinity and femininity with the make being active actors. At the same time, females act as objects of admiration. Women are sexualized and portrayed as objects for the male gaze. This notion gets passed on to the viewers where viewers take the male actors' identity and gaze or desire the female actors who are passive. Laura Mulvey's reading on the visual narrative male gaze help in the understanding of today's portrayal of the female actors through vivid description, examination, and articulation of the male gaze.
