Beschreibungen/Notizen

• [...]we have tried to offer a variety of approaches to Buffy+ scholarship now. With roots that go back to Aristotle's Art of Rhetoric and the focus on speaker, message, and audience, college writing textbooks often suggest angles of approach including biographical studies, textual studies, and cultural studies (Aristotle 1.2.3, p. 17). In 2002, in the second volume, Sherryl Vint questions whether or not images of Buffy star Sarah Michelle Cellar in the popular press (including advertising campaigns) clouded its feminism and blurred in viewers' minds with the TV series' images of Buffy-thus in a way anticipating questions about the shadowing of viewers' experience of the text by our changed view of the series' initiating creator. " Abbott's article parallels the development of Slayer and vampires, setting the series in the larger historical context of vampire studies while examining the modernizing changes common to the hero and the monsters, and Prévost makes this argument available to a new group of readers.
