Scopophilia, often referred to as "scopophilia" or "voyeurism," is a term that describes the pleasure derived from looking or watching others, particularly in a sexual context. It can involve the enjoyment of observing others without their knowledge, often associated with themes of power and control. In psychological and cinematic discussions, scopophilia can also relate to the ways in which visual pleasure is constructed and consumed in media. It raises questions about ethics, consent, and the dynamics of observer and observed.
