Freud and Lacan
These two came up with the idea of Scophilla and Voyeurism. Scophilla is about how we construct our identities by looking at our own bodies and each others bodies. From children we derive pleasure from looking at other people’s bodies. Voyeurism is about how we secretly receive pleasure from looking at people without them knowing, this can be described with cinema and pictures. We are looking at them yet they don’t realise we are. The first time we see ourselves, for example in a mirror, is the first time we understand who and what we are.
