  • Buffy the Vampire Slayer: a Feminist Reading1
    Religious imagery and its political significance in Buffy the Vampire Slayer: a feminist reading1 For Molly and Emily Eve am I, great Adam’s wife, I killed Jesus long ago . Irish lament Theoretically there would be no such thing as woman. She would not exist. Luce Irigaray, Speculum of the Other Woman Invitation ‘As a woman, I have no country. As a woman I want no country. As a woman my country is the whole world’.2 The famous declaration is Virginia Woolf’s, championing in Three Guineas, women’s rights both to education and entry into the professions, in a seminal feminist manifesto, important aspects of which, I shall suggest, are reflected in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In this essay, I should like both to celebrate and to critique the Buffy series, by placing it in the larger contexts of Western feminist spirituality and political thought. Especially, I intend to argue that Buffy represents a particular combination of knowledge and power which places her outside the mainstream of super-heroes and leads to particular ideas of learning, of spirituality, and of citizenship. These ideas place Buffy and the Scoobies outside the dominant discourses of Western patriarchy and closer to Virginia Woolf’s idea of a group of women, which: would have no honorary treasurer, for it would need no funds. It would have no office, no committee, no secretary; it would call no meetings; it would hold no conferences. If name it must have, it could be called the Outsiders’ Society.3 . Over the years, the feminist project has been concerned to slay its own vampires, in the form of ideas that, hundreds of years old, have prowled and fed on society’s marginalised communities, especially women.

  • Queering the Slayer-Text: Reading Possibilities in Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Rebecca Beirne
    Refractory » Queering the Slayer-Text Page 1 of 7 Refractory: a Journal of Entertainment Media (ISSN:1447-4905) Queering the Slayer-Text: Reading Possibilities in Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Rebecca Beirne Published Feb 3rd 2004 Until the mid-1990s, the image of the polluted homosexual dominated the screen. Then there was a striking change: the rise of the “normal gay”. - Steven Seidman, Beyond the Closet[1] Employing the subversive power of the unnatural to unseat the Platonic world view, the queer, unlike the rather polite categories of gay and lesbian, revels in the discourse of the loathsome, the outcast, the idiomatically- proscribed position of same-sex desire. - Sue-Ellen Case, ‘Tracking the Vampire’[2] Of the dominant trends of lesbian representation in the last decade of the twentieth, and early twenty-first century, there are two that stretch in entirely different directions, but which are both pertinent to a discussion of the textual and subtextual lesbianisms in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. There is the normalised gay (and I mean ‘gay’ rather than lesbian), and there is the ‘polymorphously perverse’, uncanny, and monstrous queer. I believe that the portrayal of lesbianism in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, takes both of these trends, and plaits them together to create what is truly a strange, sometimes problematic, sometimes positive, but ultimately unique portrait of lesbianism. For the theorisation of the normal gay, I turn predominantly to Steven Seidman’s recent work Beyond the Closet, which identifies the trend in mainstream sources away from characterising the homosexual as polluted, and cites a process whereby homosexuality is ‘normalised’ in order to become palatable for a predominantly heterosexual audience.

  • Bradney "I Made a Promise to a Lady": Law and Love in Btvs
    Anthony Bradney "I Made a Promise to a Lady": Law and Love in BtVS [1] As with the world at large, two things grip the central characters in BtVS, their search for love and their search for a law to direct their lives. From the moment that Buffy outlines her dating technique to Willow in the first programme, "Welcome to the Hellmouth" (1001) to the moment in the final episode when Buffy suggests redefining the rule that says that there should only be one Slayer ("Chosen," 7022), references to love and law run through the series. The critical literature on the series has regularly examined the role of love in BtVS (see, for example, DeKelb-Rittenhouse (2002) and Spah [2002]). Law has received less attention, the focus usually being on the larger concept of authority (see, for example, Buinicki and Enns (2001) and McClelland [2001]). The interaction between law and love in the series has so far escaped analysis. This article will seek to demonstrate that this is a loss because this interaction is another important example "of the shows’ underlying implied discussion of feminism, religion, politics and so on" (Kaveney 3). Moreover, the discussion of this topic takes a different direction to that that is to be found elsewhere. In BtVS, in contrast to standard literary treatments such as King Lear, where the pursuit of law and the pursuit of love are seen as being inimical (Kahn), the two quests for love and law are increasingly linked as BtVS develops, so that in the end the pursuit of love and the pursuit of law become conjoined.

  • (Don't) Wear Glasses: the Performativity of Smart Girls On
    GIRLS WHO (DON'T) WEAR GLASSES: THE PERFORMATIVITY OF SMART GIRLS ON TEEN TELEVISION Sandra B. Conaway A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Kristine Blair, Advisor Julie Edmister Graduate Faculty Representative Erin Labbie Katherine Bradshaw © 2007 Sandra Conaway All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Kristine Blair, Advisor This dissertation takes a feminist view of t television programs featuring smart girls, and considers the “wave” of feminism popular at the time of each program. Judith Butler’s concept from Gender Trouble of “gender as a performance,” which says that normative behavior for a given gender is reinforced by culture, helps to explain how girls learn to behave according to our culture’s rules for appropriate girlhood. Television reinforces for intellectual girls that they must perform their gender appropriately, or suffer the consequences of being invisible and unpopular, and that they will win rewards for performing in more traditionally feminine ways. 1990-2006 featured a large number of hour-long television dramas and dramedies starring teenage characters, and aimed at a young audience, including Beverly Hills, 90210, My So-Called Life, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Freaks and Geeks, and Gilmore Girls. In most teen shows there is a designated smart girl who is not afraid to demonstrate her interest in math or science, or writing or reading. In lieu of ethnic or racial minority characters, she is often the “other” of the group because of her less conventionally attractive appearance, her interest in school, her strong sense of right and wrong, and her lack of experience with boys.
