Gaze - 'Look intently and steadily, and with a fixed attention'
E.Ann Kaplan had a film called "looking for the other" a feminist film and featured the imperial gaze theory. The film looking for the other one responds to white feminist film theories.especially psychoanalytic onesneglect issues of race. In this project, E.ann Kaplan defends a psychoanalytic approach to the racialized subject through examinations of gender and race in mainstream and independent film.
Psychoanalytic - This theory is a view that explains personality in conscious and unconscious forces. Such as unconscious desires and beliefs.
This film was targeted at liberal arts students, the text is a useful introduction to these issues within film, women's studies, and postcolonial/cultural studies. Unfortunately, Kaplan sometimes sacrifices quality of critique for quantity and of argument for scope, in an attempt to satisfy her audiences. The result is a text which summarises new ground in the ongoing debates about whiteness and feminist film theory.
E.Ann Kaplans book is divided into two section's.One sections is the theories of nation, psychoanalysis and the imperial gaze. This section mainly focuses on the male and imperial gaze. Within chapter 1 Kaplan talks about travelling and looking of identities and assumptions of race or gender.Subjectivity of people. Where as the other chapter talks about 'Theories of nation and hollywood in the context of gender and race'Kaplan goes into detail of binary oppositions and goes even further into detail about male ideas of the nation and feminine culture.Kaplan also relies on Jane Flax to support her claim for womanly perspective on global history. Kaplan then talks about conception of national identity.
As we can see E.Ann Kaplan is very popular on feminism and of whiteness.We can see this through the research that she is very subjective towards different assumptions of race and gender.
