Spectating definition
Spectating means attendance at a stadium, venue, ground or Centre during any match, competition or training session sanctioned or administered by Football NSW, Clubs, Centres, Association Members or their clubs;
Spectating from this point onwards will refer to the physical act of looking in a directed, motivated, and conscientious fashion. “Spectatorship” will be used in the sense that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ uses it, as “not just the relationship that occurs between the viewer and 31 Ibid., 32. 32 Ibid, 32-33. the screen, but also and especially how that relationship lives on once the spectator leaves the theater.”33 In emphasizing the pivotal contribution of empathy to ethics, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ makes particular note of the importance of the image in demanding an ethical response. As he says: Whether I make [the] choice consciously or unconsciously, my choice to assist in seeing is my implication in what I see. The moment has “looked” back and we are, perhaps, uncomfortably, voyeurs together. If ethics is, its begins here, with seeing. Or as ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ suggests, when the Other and I are face to face and we see each other, we can begin to ask, “What is the purpose of what I see?”34 The primacy of vision in ethical evaluations is of central concern to ▇▇▇▇▇’s critique and of horror cinema at large. Clover suggests that “horror privileges eyes because, more crucially than any other kind of cinema, it is about eyes. More particularly, it is about eyes watching horror.”35 For both the real life spectators in the theater and the diegetic spectators of The Organization, the act of looking is greatly problematized in the context of horror‟s extreme images. By its nature, the act of spectating carries with it an enduring tension between impunity and culpability. On one hand, to be an observer is to be regarded as non-participatory; to place oneself at an “objective” distance from the subject of one‟s gaze. This disavowal of ethical responsibility is further enabled when the spectacle is fictitious, as in the case of the narrative horror film; a prime defense against the suggestion of continued viewing of horror films as yielding adverse effects. On the other hand, spectating can be seen as being complicit with the spectacle, either by 33 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Cinema and Spectatorship (London; New York: Routledge, 1993), 2-3. 34 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, eds., Ethics and Images of Pain, Routledge Advances in Art and Visual Studies 1 (New York: Routledge, 2012).
