Directory Listings Adolescent Femininity as Resistance in Buffy the Vampire Slayer Presenting a positive image of adolescent femininity which exists outside of more cynical prescriptions of how "empowered females" ought to act and in contrast to models of bubblegum sexuality offered by idols like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, Levy argues that Buffy is able to negotiate a sense of agency even as she is situated within a contemporary high school setting and prime time television by taking control of the tools, tropes, and traditions she is given and making them her own. http://www.reconstruction.ws/031/levy.htm - profile Images of Law, Love and Authority in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” The analysis of law and popular culture is a nascent area of study in Great Britain.

Admittedly, they also love brushes with the supernatural, snappy dialogue, trendy clothes, pretty people, sweltering smoochies, and the occasional bleached-blonde British vampire, but nothing pulls them in like an overhead shot of a man in tweed thumbing through a dusty, leather-bound book. Sadly, squeezing all the requisite trappings of vampire-slaying into forty-five minutes of television time places severe limitations on how much research work can be depicted in each episode. http://www.slayage.tv/essays/slayage1/wandless.htm - profile Vampire Hunters: the Scheduling and Reception of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel in the UK This article analyses the circumstances within which British viewers are able to see Buffy and Angel, and the implications of those circumstances for their experiences as audience members and fans. http://www.cult-media.com/issue1/Ahill.htm - profile Why We Love the Monsters The title characters of Joss Whedon’s television drama Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Laurell K.
