Collective Identity

Spectatorial Culture- Audience watches
Participatorial Culture- Audience takes part

Laura Mulvey- The male gaze (camera from a heterosexual male perspective)

Chandelier Parodies:

  • First: An attempt to replicate the tone, choreography and style of the original video for comical effect.
  • Second: A direct imitation of the original video in order to test dancer's ability by imitating the choreography, no humour intended.

Blurred Lines:


  • Extremely suggestive by showing naked women
  • Women are used in order to promote the song, with no involvement on the original track (this allows for the song to be viewed more on YouTube and bought more)
  • Mulvey: Cameras used to show the male gaze while viewing the women
Chandelier:

  • Objectified using a nude coloured outfit and is made-up with a wig and make-up
  • Has resulted in participatorial culture, featuring parodies.
