The Last Gender Picture Show to Closure Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Journal Title: STYLES OF COMMUNICATION - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
This work presents in (and especially on one) detail what it means to practice gender analysis as formal image analysis in the context of television shows. The chosen example for that is the closing scene of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” (USA 1997-2003). This television show engages in a highly self-reflexive manner with common pop cultural representations of gender, which becomes particularly prevalent and radically condensed in the series finale.
