Power can be interpreted in many ways depending on
the meaning power withholds by certain people. It’s no surprise power has been
a main focus in class because it has a way of redefining itself, whether it be
through literature or music videos. The texts that dealt with the concept of
power present a different understanding of power. Both John Berger in “ways of
seeing” and Michel Foucaults “panopticism” discuss how power is translated in
different forms such as in paintings and structures, but kanye west music video
called power isn’t as up front in its definition of power. But the obvious link
between these texts and the music video is its use of visual images to help
define power. It’s difficult to point out the links between these three sources
but the use of visual images are the key in understanding the meaning behind
power.
