In other words, when we look at the representation of sexuality, we have to think about the larger 'pictorial' context. The fact that so many spectators, male and female, decided literally to place themselves into this fantasy by reenacting the dance seems to suggest that the dance movements themselves are a kind of fantasy, perhaps even a fantasy of empowerment. The fact that the scenario of the video is not embedded in a narrative fantasy - contrast, for example, this video with her 'Irreplaceable' video - makes it more difficult for a spectator to 'identify' with the image (in terms of placing one'e self in the narrative scenario). The starkness of the background, the use of the moving camera rather than editing, the black and white, the 'three' Beyonces: I think the video is more contradictory than your analysis suggests. Given how different this video is from those that typically highlight women's bodies in a sexual manner, I cannot help thinking that the makers of this video thought seriously about avoiding it.

I'm not so sure I agree with your last comments.
