The Gaze - The act of seeing and, in the philosophical and figurative sense, how an individual (or a group) perceives other individuals, other groups, or oneself.

The concept and the social applications of the gaze illustrate the dynamics of socio-political power relations and the social dynamics of society's mechanisms of discipline.

The gaze can be understood in psychological terms: "to gaze implies more than to look at – it signifies a psychological relationship of power, in which the gazer is superior to the object of the gaze."

The Gaze is the anxious state of mind that comes with the self-awareness that one can be seen and looked at. The psychological effect upon the person subjected to the gaze is a loss of autonomy upon becoming aware that he or she is a visible object. (Summarized from Wikipedia)
