  • No Business Like Schmo Business: Reality TV and the Fetishistic
    Žižek and Cinema - Vol 1.3. No Business Like Schmo Business: Reality TV and Fetishistic Inversion Jennifer Friedlander – Pomona College, Claremont, California, United States Since Laura Mulvey (1975) posed the pivotal question of whether female spectators could avoid the patriarchal temptations prompted by the realist conventions of mainstream cinema, feminist film theorists have remained pessimistic about the potential for realist modes of representation to challenge cultural norms. For Mulvey, the gaze required by mainstream cinema is male. Under the male gaze, woman becomes the object of “fetishistic scopophilia,” enabling the spectator to take pleasure from both viewing the woman’s body and identifying with the male protagonist, all the while shielding himself from castration anxiety. In this view, the female spectator is sentenced to either give up the pleasure of viewing or take up one of two equally unsavory viewing positions: narcissism (through identifying too closely with the desired woman on- 1 screen) or masochism (through taking on the masculine desire for the female sexual object). Although the problem of female spectatorship is an old one, it has continued to endure. The roots of its tenacity grow from its commitment to: 1) an adherence to a model of ideology based primarily upon resistance; and 2) a model of the gaze based upon mastery rather than uncertainty. In this account, I seek to shift the terrain away from these assumptions and call, instead, for a view of a potentially subversive female spectatorship position that foregrounds the limitations of traditional ideology-critique, and locates the gaze in the place we cannot see.
