Laura Mulveys ideas on representation

Laura Mulveys ideas on representation are translated in lots of videos nowadays. Eminem’s – ass like that, is a good example of the sexual representation of women Mulvey is talking about. The video may not have dismembered women in it, but the shots of women are explicit and constant throughout the video. This video is defiantly shot from male point of view. Eminem is rapping about how girls turn him on and the video displays this exactly as he raps it. This video is for the male gaze and as Mulvey says the women are passive and go along with it. You can apply Mulveys quote to the video. You don’t seen videos where men are dismembered and the women are talking about their body parts, which they are amused by. This industry is shown to be one sided by men being dominating women and sexualising them
