After the crit last week, I have been thinking about how to refine my concept, and choosing what the main content will be and what it will be communicating.
I have now decided upon a concept that is centred around both Mulvey and the analysis of gender roles in The James Bond series of films over the years. The publication will explore the relationship between Bond and the women in the films, using the analysis of Mulvey as a starting point.
The publication will be split into two sections. One publication will outline Mulvey's theories of the male gaze, whilst the other will contain content based around James Bond and gender. The style I will be creating the publication in will use collage to communicate the ideas Mulvey puts forward of destroying visual pleasure through analysis, and the idea of construction also communicates the idea of film spectatorship.
The publication would be sold in London's BFI where Laura Mulvey has done lectures in the past.
What I want people to get out of reading the publication was to be informed and educated about Mulvey's theories, and how they did and do still apply to Hollywood Cinema. Hopefully people will understand the complexities of the male gaze, whilst also being entertained and interested in the visual style and content.
Contents of the Mulvey publication:
The use of psychoanalysis (which is central to her essay)
Castration Anxiety
