| Synopsis | Buffy the Vampire Slayer has remained an enduring feature of late 1990s pop culture, spawning television spin-offs, rabid fans, and significant scholarly inquiry. Though there have been numerous books devoted to the work of Joss Whedon, this collection of fifteen essays is the first to focus specifically on the sexual rhetoric found in his oeuvre, which includes Angel, Firefly/Serenity, Dollhouse , and Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog , as well as Buffy . Topics covered include the role of virginity, lesbianism and homoeroticism in the shows and the comics, the nature of masculinity and femininity and gender stereotypes, an exploration of sexual binaries, and a ranking of the Buffy characters on the Kinsey scale of sexuality. Together these essays constitute a much-needed addition to the expanding body of Whedon gender scholarship., A collection of fifteen essays that focus on the sexual rhetoric found in Joss Whedon's oeuvre, which includes Angel, Firefly/Serenity, Dollhouse, and Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, as well as Buffy. |
