Om denne bog

Joss Whedon is one of the most influential figures in popular culture today. A mainstream filmmaker with an independent sensibility, he is equally at home working on blockbuster productions like The Avengers and more personal projects. But it is in his television work, particularly the era-defining Buffy the Vampire Slayer, that Whedon has done most to develop his distinctive style and themes.

Celebrating and analysing the TV shows as works of mass-mediated public art, this book rejects the straightforward notion of Whedon as ‘television auteur’. Instead, it explores the wider industrial, technological, political and economic contexts that have both influenced and been influenced by him. Based on key source material, including drafts of episodes from across Whedon’s career and unique correspondence with Whedon collaborator Jane Espenson, it offers unparalleled insights into the creative process behind such favourites as Buffy the Vampire SlayerAngelDollhouse and Firefly.

Energetic, engaging and informed by meticulous scholarship, this book makes a significant contribution to our understanding of Joss Whedon’s work. It is also a timely and important re-invigoration of television studies. It will appeal to students and scholars of contemporary history, pop culture, aesthetics and mass art, as well as fans who want to learn more about the shows they love.
