Beschreibungen/Notizen
Taking Bram Stoker's Dracula as its starting point, this essay examines the vegetarian and vegan politics and identities that are both implicitly and explicitly present in three contemporary popular cultural representations of vampires, Joss Whedon's 1997–2003 television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Stephenie Meyer's 2005 novel Twilight and Catherine Hardwicke's 2008 adaptation of it, and Alan Ball's HBO series True Blood (based on The Southern Vampire Mysteries novels by Charlaine Harris), which first aired in 2008. These texts highlight a shifting cultural discourse of rights, violence, and identity that indicates a moment of profound uncertainty with regard to what it means to be human in a supposedly post-feminist, post-racist, and post-human world.
