COP2 : THEORY INTO PRACTICE - idea generation

Concept development : The gaze and the media


Possible concepts :

  • Are popstars good role models for young girls to look up to
  • Do popstars choose to pander the male gaze or is it out of their control
  • What are modern day musicians like compared to older musicians
  • Do celebrities brand themselves differently 
  • If powerful female musicians, such as beyonce challenged the male gaze would they be as popular, or is it their sexuality that gives them the power.
  • Are popstars branded for men and male attention
  • Are there any differences in the way Beyonce, Madonna, Rihanna and Lady Gaga represent themselves
  • Why does beyonce feel the need to represent herself in two contradicting ways, who is the real beyonce.
I have decided to focus on the different ways in which popstars brand themselves, do all popstars feel the need to pander the male gaze, is there such thing a feminism in the pop world music industry or is it all contradictions.
