This video provides a closer look at the psychoanalytic underpinning's of Laura Mulvey's essay "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema," a major work in film studies best known for the concept of the "male gaze." The video looks closely at the second paragraph of the essay, which summarizes a number of major principles from the psychoanalytic theory of Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan. In particular, the video examines how Lacan specifically informs Mulvey's arguments.
Topics discussed include castration anxiety; the phallus (especially the distinction between Freud's definition and Lacan's definition); the imaginary, symbolic, and real (Lacan); and the function of the term "signifier" in Mulvey and Lacan.
