The way we look at things, for the way we look at things influences what we see; see R. Dubbini (2002). Different people will gaze at a landscape and ‘see’ different features according to—among others—their gender, race, class, age, and sexuality. Thus, the male gaze looks at things from the perspective of a heterosexual man. D. Arnold (2006) outlines the ways in which India’s material environment became increasingly subject to the colonial gaze at Indian landscapes.
