About this ebook:
This book examines the phenomenon of the 'male gaze,' a concept which has spread beyond academia and become a staple of cultural conversations across disciplinary boundaries. Male gazing has typically been disparaged and even stigmatized as a reflection of misogyny and an instrument of objectification, often justifiably so. But as this book argues and illustrates, male gazing can also be understood as an illuminating, intellectually engaging, aesthetically compelling, and even politically progressive practice. This study recounts how the author’s own coming-of-an-age as a gazer became the basis for his long career teaching and writing about American fiction and poetry and poetry, canonical and contemporary, as well as about film, painting, TV, and rock-and-roll. It includes closely-reasoned analyses of work by James Baldwin, Rembrandt, Willa Cather, Philip Roth, Henry James, Charles Chesnutt, Bob Dylan, Robert Stone, Tim O’Brien, Edith Wharton, Theodore Dreiser, Frank O’Hara, Italo Calvino, and John Schlesinger, as well such cultural phenomena as the British Invasion of the 1960s, the Judgement of Paris in Greek mythology, the technology of seeing (kaleidoscopes, microscopes, telescopes), and the concept of 'objectification' itself.
