Abstract

This paper mainly combs the relevant research results of the male gaze, female gaze, and mutual gaze. Through the comprehensive analysis of the above-related achievements, we can see that with the progress of society and the prosperity of feminism, the female gaze has increasingly become a social phenomenon. However, this female gaze is just the transformation of the gaze object and the rebellion against the male gaze. In essence, it is still the reversal and strengthening of the patriarchal logical framework and the profound return to the power oppression implied in the male gaze. Although the female gaze has no derogatory and prescriptive power, it is more generally appreciated. This paper hopes to advocate mutual gaze. Women should play an important role in mutual gaze, deconstruct male power from the perspective of women’s unique life experience, construct women’s pluralistic, mobile and inclusive way of thinking and social outlook, and create a world of women’s power. This review will help to expand and deepen the study of mutual gaze.
