This research studies the politics of Gazing. We look all the time every day, but do we understand what it means to Gaze? In order to understand the Gaze, we need to understand the X who Gaze. In the Quran [24:30] ”Tell the believing X to lower their Gaze” is used to explain how X and X should use their Gazes. ”To be able to listen, one should look” is something that my X used to tell me. These are examples of how the Gaze is used by X. In my research, I study the Outside and Inside perspectives of Gaze and the spaces where they are used. These perspectives of Gazing are constructed by my own experience and through Queer, Feminist and Black theory. Gaze is a form of oppression but it can also be used for resistance. I Gaze and I resist. I resist to live in the binary and therefore I resist with an [ X ].
