I am looking at Chris Weedon's book right now. If you read page 22 that
leads into her introduction of "male gaze" you find her enthusiastic
inducement for feminists to read Foucault. She leads from that praising of
Foucault into her use of the term "male gaze".
Perhaps I am reading more into it than I should, but I reckon she means
that. But, I do not think she is referring to men looking, I think that she
is referring to the imposition on women and their behaviour by the
Foucauldian 'male gaze'; why else would she talk about Foucault in the
previous paragraph especially when she sites works that deal quite a bit
with Foucauldian gaze?
In this book, her Foucalt references include:
Birth of the Clinic
I, Pierre ...
