In this second part we'll discuss different TV show and movies that show or attempt to think with a female/feminist gaze.

Series: 

1. Girls (2012-2017) - Lena Dunham

 American comedy-drama television that follows the lives of four young women living in NYC, a very self-aware commentary on privileged white womanhood praised for its sexually frank, wryly satirical look at millennial angst, chastised for its lack of diversity, and dissected in an endless stream of essays and social media posts thanks to its explorations of gender politics and post-collegiate social panic.

But over everything is recognised for: Portraying Realistic Sex, Recasting a Woman’s Body, Inciting a Conversation About Diversity and sharing Sharing a Distinct Voice.

2. The Affair  ( 2014-2019) - Sarah Treem and Hagai Levi

American television drama series that explores the emotional and psychological effects of an affair that destroyed two marriages through the eyes of each protagonist; male and female. Special characteristic? The storyline is repeated/continued through different characters’ eye, allowing the spectator to see the action unfold through different eyes, and how different their point of view can be. 

3. Fleabag (2016 ) - Phoebe Waller-Bridge

 A female driven show, on and off-screen. It deconstructs many feminine standards through the use of a cinematic artefact: breaking the 4th wall. Phoebe’s character completely deconstructs her character’s actions, feelings, relation to others, sexuality through a direct dialog with the spectator.

4. Little Fires Everywhere (2020) - Lynn Shelton

A novel about race, class and privilege. A fictional investigation into motherhood, the secrets in families and failed attempts to leave one’s past behind.

Movies:

1. The Portrait of a Lady of Fire (2019)- Céline Sciamma

A film that avoids the male perspective at all costs in favor of feminine ways of looking. Even without showing men onscreen, Sciamma depicts the wicked ways in which the patriarchy constricts the lives of her female protagonists. Where many other directors while portraying a  lesbian romance might emphasise the taboos of same-sex love, Sciamma is less interested in shame or shock as she is in the force of creating the genuine bonds between both protagonists. 

2. Wonder Woman (2017) - Patty Jenkins 

If you don't know this movie, go watch it and then come back !

This podcast segment intends to expose a new point of view from which the viewer can interact with the films. 

What is the female gaze and where does this term come from? 

The 1975's Mulvey’s definition of male gaze is the act of depicting women and the world in the visual arts from a masculine, heterosexual perspective that presents and represents women as sexual objects for the pleasure of the heterosexual male viewer. 

Together with our guest Lysiane Colin, a now graduated master student in gender and cinema who studied gender representation in US Tv and the female gaze, we'll illustrate the gaze and present different definitions of what can the female gaze be to different critics.

In the first part we'll exemplify the female gaze and female representation through the comparison between The Hunger Games and The Handmaid's tale.  

The question with The Hunger Games is : how is women/femininity represented and how it rejects some norms whilst also re-enforcing others? And The Handmaid's Tale on the other hand? It has a clear rejection of the male gaze, how do they denounce objectification in this series? 

What is the future of female representation? 

What can the gaze do? Who is gazed upon? Who does the gazing?
