Research: What do you understand about Laura Mulvey's ideas on representation?

To summary of Laura Mulvey's points on representation:


  • Music videos focus on the representation of men and women
  • The images (of most music videos) shown of both men and women mainly show the men having all the power/dominance, and the women being passive (acting sexy in provocative clothing)
  • Music videos are targeted at men and the women are "dresses accordingly"
  • Women are mostly dismembered (certain parts of their body will be show, boobs, bum, back, legs etc)
  • Men are shown as a whole, which gives them the power in the music video
