More theorists

Jacques Lacan - 'the mirror stage' is when a child from 5-18months is fascinated by an image of one self which later changes as the individual grows older

Laura Mulvey - 'The male gaze' this is the idea that audiences are made to view films,music videos, etc from a hetrosexual man's point of view. Women are objectified, for example when a camera focuses on a woman's curves/clevage.

Michel Maffesoli - 'the time of tribes' also known as Neotribalism is the idea that human beings have evolved to live in tribal societies rather than a mass society so therefore they create their own tribals through social network.

Mikhail Bakhtin - is the idea that identity is never finalized so therefore forever changing 

Judith Butler - 'gender is what you do, not what you are' she stated that feminism made a mistake by classing women as a group who hold the same characteristics therefore meaning that each woman holds her individuals values.
