Example text
On the other end of the spectrum of undomesticated femininity is the cunning witch Madge and her infernal fellow witches. They gather at the start of Act 2 to create a magic shawl designed to turn James’s fairy lover into a human being and thus kill her. James is in love with a dangerous ideal that can never become reality, because once the sylph is reduced from ideal spiritualized femininity to non-spiritual corporeality, she dies. James’s masculine identity is striving to manifest itself in the destructive force-field between these complementary yet also mutually exclusive conceptions of femininity: Effie, whom he is supposed to marry, the spurious ideal of the sylph and the scheming witch Madge who claims she will help him to fulfil his dream but only ends up disillusioning him.
The symbolic gaze is therefore independent of any actual gaze any member of the audience could throw toward the stage. It is then doubled by the male dancer on stage exposing or giving his female partner to the audiences to see. The male dancer’s body therefore functions as a frame within the frame. This also means that both male dancer and his voyeuristic yet controlling gaze lack ontological grounding, since both are relational rather than foundational. The male dancer is a stand-in, a literal emptiness, which in order to come into being needs an imaginary and necessarily distorted reflection of itself in the image of an Other, here of the women.
