Essay proposal

- Woman in the media- The Gaze
- How women are portrayed in advertisement.
- I want to look at different eras, for example comparing posters from the 1930s, art deco, art nouveau style, till now and the relationship between the two.
- How they have changed but the idea of women that are subject to the male gaze.

Methodological approach- 'Freudian theories of psychoanalysis'
Scopophilia- the pleasures of looking at others, bodies as objects

Laura Mulvey- Woman in film exist as 'Sexual' objects to be looked at.
'Visual and other pleasures'
