She won acclaim as Katie Kinski in the soap opera Neighbours (2005-2007) and as Sierra in Joss Whedon's sci-fi drama series Dollhouse (2009-2010). Lachman played Suren in the supernatural comedy-drama series Being Human (2012), Tanya Toumrenjack in the military action movie The Last Resort (2012-2013), Jiaying in the superhero drama series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (2014-2020), Reilin Kawahara in the cyberpunk drama series Altered Carbon (2018-2020), and Frankie in the crime drama series Animal Kingdom (2018-present). Lachman has appeared in many films, such as Aquamarine (2006), Bled (2009), Lust for Love (2014), Too Late (2015) and Bad Therapy (2020). Lachman's early life was born in Kathmandu, Nepal, where she lived until she was eight years old. She moved to Adelaide, Australia, in late 1990 with her family. Her mother is a Nepali Tibetan, and an Australian father of German descent. She attended West Lakes Primary School, Nyle Street Elementary School, Norwood Morialta School, St Mary's College, Adelaide, Annesley College and the University of Adelaide.

In an interview with The Soap Show, Lachman said she appeared on bbc television show Ready Steady Cook while visiting England in late 2006.

On March 26, 2008, it was announced that Lachman would portray Sierra in the television series Dollhouse, created by Joss Whedon. In an interview with ScifiNow in 2009, Lachman responded to rumors that she would be starring in an upcoming Star Wars-based television show, saying, I'm a huge fan of George Lucas. I love these movies, and it would be a dream come true -- I would do it, it would be incredible. [9] [9] was named one of the 100 hottest women on screen in 2009, the lesbian media website AfterEllen.com. What a privilege it is to be there, she said.

Lachman appeared in the Doctor Who spin-off episode of Torchwood for his fourth series, Torchwood: Wonder Day. In addition, it was announced in Variety in 2011 that Lachman would join the cast of Being Human as a regular series. Lachman also briefly appeared in the guild's web series during Season 5, episode 8 as a guest of the party during the game convention. In 2012, it was announced that Lachman would join the Last Resort pilot, run by Sean Ryan, and she subsequently appeared as the main character during the show's 13-episode series. She also guest starred in the second season of Jane Espenson's scripted web series, Husbands. From 2010 to 2013, while working on other productions, Lachman and her close friend Anton King produced Lust for Love. King wrote the screenplay in 2010 and used Kickstarter to raise funds to make the film. The original goal was to raise $70,000; however, when the deadline was reached on November 11, 2011, more than 1,500 people pledged money, with a final figure of $101,030. To complete the film, additional funds were raised through friends and family. British director Jack Wylson came on board as producer, Australian actor Adam J. Yeend as co-producer, and Adam Bricker as director of photography. Alessandro Ongaro of Luna Pictures Entertainment also made a significant contribution during post-production. In 2014, Lachman began acting in Canada, where she joined the cast of The 100 as Ani and played a recurring role in abc Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. On June 11, 2015, a new film titled Too Late was released at the Los Angeles Film Festival.

  • A Collection of Texts Celebrating Joss Whedon and His Works Krista Silva University of Puget Sound, [email protected]
    Student Research and Creative Works Book Collecting Contest Essays University of Puget Sound Year 2015 The Wonderful World of Whedon: A Collection of Texts Celebrating Joss Whedon and His Works Krista Silva University of Puget Sound, [email protected] This paper is posted at Sound Ideas. http://soundideas.pugetsound.edu/book collecting essays/6 Krista Silva The Wonderful World of Whedon: A Collection of Texts Celebrating Joss Whedon and His Works I am an inhabitant of the Whedonverse. When I say this, I don’t just mean that I am a fan of Joss Whedon. I am sincere. I live and breathe his works, the ever-expanding universe— sometimes funny, sometimes scary, and often heartbreaking—that he has created. A multi- talented writer, director and creator, Joss is responsible for television series such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer , Firefly , Angel , and Dollhouse . In 2012 he collaborated with Drew Goddard, writer for Buffy and Angel , to bring us the satirical horror film The Cabin in the Woods . Most recently he has been integrated into the Marvel cinematic universe as the director of The Avengers franchise, as well as earning a creative credit for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. My love for Joss Whedon began in 1998. I was only eleven years old, and through an incredible moment of happenstance, and a bit of boredom, I turned the television channel to the WB and encountered my first episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer . I was instantly smitten with Buffy Summers. She defied the rules and regulations of my conservative southern upbringing.

Torchwood as Transnational Telefantasy Melissa Beattie1 Recibido: 2016-09-19 Aprobado por pares: 2017-02-17 Enviado a pares: 2016-09-19 Aceptado: 2017-03-23 DOI: 10.5294/pacla.2017.20.3.7 Para citar este artículo / to reference this article / para citar este artigo Beattie, M. (2017). “My” hero or epic fail? Torchwood as transnational telefantasy. Palabra Clave, 20(3), 722-762. DOI: 10.5294/pacla.2017.20.3.7 Abstract Telefantasy series Torchwood (2006–2011, multiple production partners) was industrially and paratextually positioned as being Welsh, despite its frequent status as an international co-production. When, for series 4 (sub- titled Miracle Day, much as the miniseries produced as series 3 was subti- tled Children of Earth), the production (and diegesis) moved primarily to the United States as a co-production between BBC Worldwide and Amer- ican premium cable broadcaster Starz, fan response was negative from the announcement, with the series being termed Americanised in popular and academic discourse. This study, drawn from my doctoral research, which interrogates all of these assumptions via textual, industrial/contextual and audience analysis focusing upon ideological, aesthetic and interpretations of national identity representation, focuses upon the interactions between fan cultural capital and national cultural capital and how those interactions impact others of the myriad of reasons why the (re)glocalisation failed. It finds that, in part due to the competing public service and commercial ide- ologies of the BBC, Torchwood was a glocalised text from the beginning, de- spite its positioning as Welsh, which then became glocalised again in series 4.

  • 2009 Global Press Release
    TV fans to raise $150,000 for Charity at the 4th Annual "Can't Stop The Serenity" Worldwide Movie Screenings Between May and September 2009, fans of popular cult television and film writer/ director Joss Whedon, will gather worldwide to raise money for "Equality Now," a charity dedicated to promoting the human rights of beleaguered women and girls. Worldwide (CSTS) May 7th, 2009 - For the fourth year in a row, thousands of people around the world will participate in “Can’t Stop the Serenity” fund-raising events to benefit "Equality Now," a charity organization working to protect the basic human rights of women and girls across the planet. Since 2006, more than a quarter of a million dollars has been raised and they plan to add another $150,000 in 2009. Who is behind this phenomenon? It’s not the product of any formal action network like Equality Now, a relief group or even a foundation. These humanitarians aren't even a group of rich philanthropists or celebrities. They are simply the fans of a prematurely canceled sci-fi television series called "Firefly" and its climactic movie, "Serenity". The volunteers who organize these charitable events, without prompting from the show’s creators or Equality Now, have created a worldwide event that spans three continents. This annual celebration of equality and Joss Whedon’s birthday is known as "Can't Stop the Serenity," and the men and women behind it are simply known as "Browncoats" after the heroes of the show. Says Amanda Sullivan, director of Equality Now: “Amazing as it is, we are heading into our fourth season of CSTS global screenings! It is a difficult time for us and a difficult time for everyone right now.

  • The Use of the Works of Joss Whedon
    Compendium2 4.1 (2011): 35-42 Using Joss Whedon in the Composition Classroom ERIN WAGGONER “How did your brain even learn human speech? I’m just so curious.” -Wash, “Objects in Space” Introduction In her conclusion to Faith and Choice in the Works of Joss Whedon, K. Dale Koontz asks the question, “will college come to Buffy?” (187). Several schools offer classes on Buffy the Vampire Slayer as well as Joss Whedon’s works as a whole—one of my own independent study classes included. When I first started teaching English composition, I wasn’t entirely sure how to incorporate Buffy, or any television shows for that matter, into the classroom. I knew, however, that I wanted to use the shows as supplemental in-course “readings.” After some trial and error, I came up with a method for utilizing television shows as texts. When I assigned students texts and essays to read, most seemed uninterested, and that showed in their writing assignments. However, when I used television or other media-related tools, the students’ writing demonstrated increased interest through better responses—because the rhetorical imagery appealed more to students than constant reading. This prompted me to find a way to utilize television as my main text for teaching. With my love of Buffy and all things Whedon, it was only natural that once I figured out how to use television, I would focus my lessons on episodes from Whedon’s shows. What surprised me was the overall positive response my teaching methods received, both from students and colleagues. Using Whedon’s work as a supplemental text in the composition classroom has proven a successful teaching tool.

  • Romance in Dollhouse Lorna Jowett
    ‘I love him... Is that real?’ Interrogating Romance in Dollhouse Lorna Jowett A Dollhouse Confession (not mine!), website Because of Joss Whedon’s commitment to what he regularly calls feminism in interviews and commentaries, the Whedon creations have consistently interrogated the myth of heterosexual romance. Long-running TV shows like Buffy and Angel offered wide scope for examining romance alongside other aspects of gender and sexuality. The mix of conventions in these earlier shows also lend themselves to negotiating romance from different angles, whether this is about characters growing up and changing their own ideas about romantic and sexual relationships, or what you can ‘get away with’ in a fantasy show about vampires. Firefly featured both a happily married couple and a sex-worker, neither common-place in network TV drama, allowing that shorter-lived series to move away from obvious conventions of romance. And then there’s Dollhouse, where almost all of the characters are either prostitutes or pimps. Melissa Milavec and Sharon Kaye suggest that Buffy ‘owes much of its popularity to making erotic love a dominant theme’ (2003: 174): Dollhouse may owe its lack of popularity to the way it treats much the same theme in a more disturbing fashion. ‘Like every good fairy tale, the story grows more intricate, and more divisive, every decade,’ says a reporter of Dollhouse rumours in ‘The Man on the Street’ (Dollhouse 1.6). His words are equally applicable to the myth of heterosexual romance as tackled by the Whedonverses on TV. The Whedon shows offer a sustained interrogation of gender, but are complicated by the demands of mainstream entertainment.

FIREFLY 3.10 3.10 Zombies, Reavers, Butchers, and Actuals in Joss Whedon's Work Gerry Canavan For all the standard horror movie monsters Joss Whedon took up in Buffy and Angel-vampires, of course, but also ghosts, demons, werewolves, witches, Frankenstein's monster, the Devil, mummies, haunted puppets, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, the "bad boyfriend," and so on-you'd think there would have been more zombies. In twelve years of television across both series zombies appear in only a handful of episodes. They attack almost as an afterthought at Buffy's drama-laden homecoming party early in Buffy Season 3 ("Dead Man's Party" 3.2); they completely ruin Xander's evening in "The Zeppo" (3.13) later that same season; they patrol Angel's Los Angeles neighborhood in "The Thin Dead Line" (2.14) in Angel Season 2; they stalk the halls of Wolfram & Hart in "Habeas Corpses" (4.8) in Angel Season 4. A single zombie comes back from the dead to work things out with the girlfriend who poisoned him in a subplot in "Provider" (3.12) in Angel Season 3; Adam uses science to reanimate dead bodies to make his lab assistants near the end of Buffy Season 4 ("Primeval" 4.21); zombies guard a fail-safe device in the basement of Wolfram & Hart in "You're Welcome" (3.12) in Angel Season 5.

Reviewed by: Stella Gaynor, University of Salford, UK The television and film work of Joss Whedon is extensive, and is explored in many areas of scholarship, ranging from examinations of particular series like Firefly (2002-2003 ) or Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2000) (Jowett, 2005;; Davidson & Wilson, 2007; Abbott, 2009), to studies that consider the 'Whedonverse' as a whole (Slayage: The Journal of Whedon Studies). This collection, edited by Kristopher Karl Woofter and Lorna Jowett, covers genre, gender, monsters and the psychology of Whedon's characters, via a wide range of scholarly approaches which reflects the variation, scale and span of the 'Whedonverse' itself.

  • Negotiating Images of the Chinese: Representations of Contemporary Chinese and Chinese Americans on US Television
    Negotiating Images of the Chinese: Representations of Contemporary Chinese and Chinese Americans on US Television A Thesis Submitted to School of Geography, Politics, and Sociology For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Cheng Qian September, 2019 !i Negotiating Images of the Chinese: Representations of Contemporary Chinese and Chinese Americans on US Television ABSTRACT China's rise has led to increased interest in the representation of Chinese culture and identity, espe- cially in Western popular culture. While Chinese and Chinese American characters are increasingly found in television and films, the literature on their media representation, especially in television dramas is limited. Most studies tend to focus on audience reception with little concentration on a show's substantive content or style. This thesis helps to fill the gap by exploring how Chinese and Chinese American characters are portrayed and how these portrayals effect audiences' attitude from both an in-group and out-group perspective. The thesis focuses on four popular US based television dramas aired between 2010 to 2018. Drawing on stereotype and stereotyping theories, applying visual analysis and critical discourse analysis, this thesis explores the main stereotypes of the Chinese, dhow they are presented, and their impact. I focus on the themes of enemies, model minor- ity, female representations, and the accepted others. Based on the idea that the media can both con- struct and reflect the beliefs and ideologies of a society I ask how representational practice and dis- cursive formations signify difference and 'otherness' in relation to Chinese and Chinese Americans. I argue that while there has been progress in the representation of Chinese and Chinese Americans, they are still underrepresented on the screen.

  • “The Trumpet in the Bottom” Öyvind Fahlström and the Uncanny
    EDDA FAGFELLEVURDERT ÅRGANG 117, NR. 2-2017, S. 176–198 ISSN ONLINE: 1500-1989 TEMA: GOTHIC AND UNCANNY EXPLORATIONS DOI: 10.18261/ISSN.1500-1989-2017-02-07 “The Trumpet in the Bottom” Öyvind Fahlström and the Uncanny “Trumpeten i stjärten”. Öyvind Fahlström och det kusliga 0000-0002-2400-4124 Per Bäckström Professor of Comparative Literature, Karlstad University, Sweden [email protected] Chaired the membership commission of the European Network for Avant-Garde and Modernism Stu- dies (EAM) 2007–2011. Major publications: Aska, Tomhet & Eld. Outsiderproblematiken hos Bruno K. Öijer (Ellerström 2003), Le Grotesque dans l’œuvre d’Henri Michaux. Qui cache son fou, meurt sans voix (l’Harmattan 2007), Vårt brokigas ochellericke! Om experimentell poesi (Ellerström 2010), and Decentring the Avant-Garde (ed., Rodopi 2014). At present, Per Bäckström is working on the cross-aesthetic art of Öyvind Fahlström. ABSTRACT Öyvind Fahlström (1928–76) began as a surrealist at the end of the 1940s, and among oth- ers wrote the unpublished poetry collection “The Trumpet in the Bottom”. In 1953, he wrote the world’s first manifesto for concrete poetry, inspired by Pierre Schaeffer’s musique concrète, and soon became a driving force in the Swedish and international neo-avant- garde. In the mid-1950s he turned to the visual arts, and later he also wrote radio plays, directed movies and arranged performances and happenings. He showed an extraordinary sensibility for the uncanny in his selection of “life material” for his art, thus uncovering the return of the repressed in everyday life and popular culture, in the form of scatology, por- nography, the monstrous, the body, the materiality of the artwork and media, and so on.

  • Liminal Identity in Contemporary American Television Science Fiction

In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Rhys Owain Thomas Student Number 4566211 Film (Research) R1W62012 Abstract This thesis examines the foregrounding of a particular type of liminal human protagonist in contemporary American television Science Fiction. These protagonists, which I have termed the ‘unliving,’ exist in-between the realms of life and death, simultaneously both alive and dead whilst occupying an indistinct middle- ground.
