THE GAZE
WORK IN PROGRESS
Vision, Voyeurism, Scopophilia, the Gaze, the Glance, the Look and the Eye
all belong to this discourse. There are several clear subsets such as the
Eye, (Go to end of general bibliography) initially developed by Bataille, that
deserve to be explored separately.
Perhaps the most useful introduction to an understanding of our perception of
vision and its shifting importance is Martin Jay's (1993) Downcast Eyes: The
Denigration of Vision in 20th-Century French Thought, Berkeley: University
of California Press, which provides a history of vision from Plato to the
present charting the phases of this development in terms of particular
philosophers. On any given subject, it is an ideal starting place, providing a
general reference to the subject with great commentary and is a wonderful
intellectual history of the issue. [It is available on-line and can be

[First Bryson traces 'the Gaze' as it passes from Sartre to Lacan (II). Then he
looks at two non-Western philosophers: Nishida and Nishitani who critique Satire
and Lacan for positioning the I as the center of experience. (95) He says that
the Japanese actually dismantle the anthropocentric subject, (IV) Interestingly
Bryson uses works of art [Raphael, Holbein, and Sesshu] as examples of each of
these versions of the subject and its vision (the Gaze) in relation to the
world. The examples facilitate an understanding of the radical differences
between the three philosophers and their notions of 'the Gaze.]
