Egyptian cinema’s male gaze on Lebanese women artists
(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2023) Eljatib, Nour Kotria; Haydari Pakkan, Nazan
ABSTRACT: This study argues that popular Egyptian cinema reconstructs and normalizes violence against women and uses foreign women to increase the impact of comedy in this process using a specific pattern. It does so mainly through misrepresenting said foreign women or, as a matter of fact, representing them in a particular manner. "Foreign" here is not in its literal meaning, given that the first idea that comes to mind when we say foreign is western. Whereas here, it is meant to indicate non-Egyptian women of Arab nationalities, specifically those of Lebanese origin. The research questions aim to pinpoint the pattern, showcase its existence, and discuss its societal background in addition to a few study cases in detail using Laura Mulvey's Male Gaze theory as feminist critical analysis method. The study focuses on the years 2000 till 2020 as it correlates with the emergence of videoclips into the Arab World leading to the popularity of Lebanese videoclip singers, especially those who had a career shift into acting in Egypt during the mentioned timeframe in the study.
