Changes

And whereas [[whereas Sartre]] had conceived of an essential reciprocity between seeing the [[Other]] and being-seen-by-him, [[Lacan]] now conceives of an antinomic relation between the [[gaze]] and the [[gaze|eye]]: the [[gaze|eye]] which looks is that of the [[subject]], while the [[gaze]] is on the side of the [[object]], and there is no coincidence between the two, since "You never look at me from the place at which I see you."<ref>{{S11}} p. 103</ref>

When the [[subject]] looks at an [[object]], the [[object]] is always already gazing back at the [[subjetsubject]], but from point at which the [[subject]] cannot see it.

This [[split]] between the [[gaze|eye]] and the [[gaze]] is nothing other than the [[split|subjective division]] itself, expressed in the field of vision.

The concept of the [[gaze]] was waken up by [[psychoanalytic]] [[art|film criticism]] in the 1970s, especially by [[feminist]] [[art|film criticism|film critics]].

However, many of these critics have conflated [[Lacan]]'s concept of the [[gaze]] with the [[SarteSartre]]an concept of the [[gaze]] and other ideas on vision such as [[Foucault]]'s account of [[Foucault|panopticism]].

Much of so-called "[[Lacan]]ian [[art|film theory]]" is thus the site of great conceptual confusion.
