"Enlightened Sexism?"

Discussion Questions...

1. Thinking through the films we have seen so far, is it possible to extract from them a new, non-patriarchal definition of 'The Gaze?'

2. Filmically, is the act of making oneself seen equivalent to subjecting oneself to 'The Gaze?'

3. Considering the notion of identity politics, as we look at ourselves through the prism of the material we have encountered, how do we identify *first* and why? As woman? As man? Racially? Sexually? What is the importance of attaching or un-attaching a naming/label to ourselves and others?
