But, You're Just A Girl

McTee, Sasha 17 May 2013 (has links)
This paper explores an emerging genre of the female hero archetype that is rooted in Joseph Campbell’s traditional definition and exemplified by Buffy Summers of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Kara “Starbuck” Thrace of Battlestar Galactica. As representations of the female hero within this genre, they reimagine pre-existing stereotypes, such as the female victim and the male hotshot pilot, and then pursue a hero’s journey of death and resurrection that is unique because of their gender. This new trend is the result of third-wave feminism and necessary for the further development of feminist literary works, particularly within the realm of Sci-Fi/Fantasy.

Vampyrers död och Andra(s) kroppar : En studie av True Blood, Vampire Diaries och Buffy the Vampire Slayer / Death of Vampires and Bodies of Others : A Study of True Blood, Vampire Diaries and Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Nygren, Anna January 2017 (has links)
I den här uppsatsen undersöks hur vampyrer dör i TV-serierna True Blood (2008-2014), Vampire Diaries (2009-2017) och Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003). Genom närläsning och jämförelser mellan dessa olika sätt att skildra vampyrers död diskuteras vad detta innebär för den roll vampyren får i respektive serie, och vad det betyder för skildringen av kropp och kroppslighet. Jag använder mig av teorier kring skildringen av (mänsklig) död på film, samt för en diskussion i relation till bland annat Judith Butlers begrepp ”sörjbara kroppar” och Giorgio Agambens ”bare life”. Utifrån detta ställs frågor om hur vampyrer, deras död och skildringen av denna relaterar till de diskurser om mänsklighet som genomsyrar serierna och deras kontext.

Girl Power: Feminism, Girlculture and the Popular Media

Smith, Ashley Lorrain 08 1900 (has links)
This project is an interrogation of three examples from recent popular culture of girlculture, specifically texts that target young female consumers: the Spice Girls, Scream and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. These examples are fundamentally different than texts from earlier female targeted generic models because they not only reflect the influence of the feminist movement, they work on feminism's behalf. The project's methodology grows out of feminist film theories and cultural studies theories. One chapter is dedicated to each text, and each reading works to reappropriate girlculture texts for a counter-hegemonic agenda by highlighting the moments when each text manages to subvert its mass mediated conservative biases.

Dante, Damnation, and The Undead: How The Conception of Hell Has Changed in Western Literature from Dante's Inferno to The Zombie Apocalypse

Whitman, Isabelle M. 15 May 2015 (has links)
Dante's Inferno defined hell in Western literature for centuries; it was a physical place for sinners, they were subjected to physical torments, and it was in the afterlife. Dante’s depiction was firmly rooted in Christian theology. However, as fears and morals change, ideas of hell evolve as well. With the popularity of the zombie and other apocalypse narratives, these ideas return to the notion of physical torment and earthly places. In poetry, novels, theater, television, and film, writers examine different interpretations of hell, punishment, and redemption as metaphors for modern sins. In Sartre’s Huis clos, hell is a windowless room, and the tortures are inflicted psychologically by other people. In Romero’s Living Dead films, hell comes to earth, and the torments are both physical and psychological. Joss Whedon’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer shows how hellish the common experiences of high school and growing up can be. Cormac McCarthy’s The Road examines hell as a lack of place, a relentless journey without end. In these and other works, the concept of hell is reinvented and replaced by new ideas, but the influence of the past iterations shapes the new landscapes.
