My argument is that Oscar is a twelve year old who is not yet sexual and so his watch is more of an innocent gaze or rather a curious gaze, but the audience sexualizes the scene. For my explanations I will be using the theories of voyeurism and fetishism that Laura Mulvey presents in her article Visual Pleasure and…

include what he described as ‘castration anxiety’. Castration anxiety describes the terror felt by the male sex when they discover that the women in their life, starting with their mothers, do not have a penis. Freud argues that boys are born thinking that everyone has a penis, females included, but when they realise that females don’t have one, they assume it has been cut off, and therefore, theirs would be cut off too. This leads to a phenomenon know as ‘castration anxiety’. For Freud, this is…

Uranus the primal Greek god personifying the sky. His equivalent in Roman mythology was Caelus. In Ancient Greek literature, Uranus or Father Sky was the son and husband of Gaia, Mother Earth. According to Hesiod's Theogony, Uranus was conceived by Gaia alone, but other sources cite Aether as his father. Uranus and Gaia were the parents of the first generation of Titans, and the ancestors of most of the Greek gods, but no cult addressed directly to Uranus survived into Classical times, and…

Hen I I rats began this class, I figured large animal would be about the same as small animals, but certainly that cattle an horses were handled the same at least.

With great haste she produced gray iron and made a huge sickle and showed it to her children” (CITE) With trickery, she brought about Ouranos’s castration – an entire destruction of his manhood. However terrible this act was, it was only through this that she could free the Titans from her womb and continue succession. This is very similar to what Hesiod writes of women. While Pandora and her descendants…

Temple Grandin states you can only manage what you can measure to identify problems and achieve improved states of welfare (Lyles, Calvo-Lorenzo 5335). Welfare in cattle has been a major topic and question of many many years due to the numerous practices. Societal acceptance is a big concern in the welfare because what ties into it is the views of treatment and living conditions of these animals. In the cattle industry outsiders and the people known as the consumers need to understand how…

Melodie Gibson HIST145-001Professor KuskowskiMarch 28, 2018 The Body in the Letters of Abelard and Heloise The body — both male and female, figures prominently in the correspondence between Abelard and Heloise. However, they conceptualize the body in very different ways. Abelard positions the physical body within metaphor — as something that should be shed in favor of spiritual attainment, while Heloise believes that spiritual attainment is inextricably linked to physical (perhaps more…

Vampires, werewolves, and monsters of all kinds have been prevalent in the horror genre, but the monstrous-feminine is comparably different. Whereas male monsters shock and terrify the audience through violence and bodily transformations, the female monster is horrifying in relation to her sexuality. The horror genre has frequently perpetuated patriarchal ideologies with scenes objectifying women using the ‘male gaze’ and punishing women for any kind of sexuality. Brian de Palma’s 1976 film…

substantially by a book called ‘Save the Cat’ by Blake Snyder [1]. In looking at various points towards the Femme Fatale and castration anxiety, we looked at the book ‘Feminism and Film’ by Maggie Humm [2] and ‘Visual and Other Pleasures’ by Laura Mulvey [3]. These helped us in writing and portraying phallic imagery (in the form of a gun) and the death of Mia for castration anxiety, the gun being the weapon used in order for the male to retake control of a situation. We also retried various…
