Susan Sontag expresses several views and ideas about photography to educate us further about her views. In Sontag's view, "to collect photography is to collect the world".  Sontag says the man has developed dependence on photography for the sake of the mere ability to experience something that has meaning. By converting the experience into an image photography gives shape, and time, to the transient experience. In other words, we need the camera in order to realize and substantiate our experiences.  But though photography capture a moment and gives it meaning, its power is not constant. Repetition of images, be it horror or pornography, takes the edge off their affective capacities and the event becomes less real. While it’s true that the world is progressing more towards the “image-world” as Sontag describes it, it is inevitable...

laura mulvey theory

Visual pleasure and Narrative cinema- Laura Mulvey-  Mulvey explains about: 1.        A political use of psychoanalysis. 2.        Destruction of pleasure as radical weapon 3.        Pleasure in looking/ Fascination with the human form 4.        Woman as image, man as bearer of the look Mulvey argues that the pleasure we take in Hollywood cinema–the pleasure of losing ourselves in the film, for example, or of experiencing the protagonist’s victories as our own–is possible because the camera’s gaze obscures the conditions of the film’s production (the fact that is a film), i.e., the fourth wall.
