Freud and Lacan say that we construct our indentities by looking at ourselves and at eachother. As children, we get pleasure from looking at other peoples bodies. This is Scopophilia.
The first time we fully see ourselves in a mirror, is the first time we understand ourselves as people.
We enjoy the voyeurism of going to the cinema as it allows us to look at other people without being seen ourselves.
