Representation: Goodwin's Theory of Voyeurism


Frankenstein


I have put together different body parts of all these female artists to make a Frankenstein illustration.
Voyeurism is to look. The theory of voyeurism can be explained in different ways. One way is the relationship between what the music video is actually showing and the actual lyrics of the music video. Also it is said that the genre actually interprets different styles of voyeurism; but there are also frequent references to female bodies. They look at females as just objects and degrade them. Sometimes there are intertextual references meaning they reference movies in their song such as Men in Black.

In the picture above there are 6 different music videos that make up the image. These artists that are in these videos consist of Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj, J Lo & Jessie J. It shows how women are typically represented in music videos and Miley Cyrus is the most used artist showing how she is typically represented.
