520 "Although ostensibly presented as?light entertainment,?
the work of writer-director-producer Joss Whedon takes
much dark inspiration from the horror genre to create a
unique aesthetic and perform a cultural critique.
Featuring monsters, the undead, as well as drawing upon
folklore and fairy tales, his many productions both
celebrate and masterfully repurpose the traditions of
horror for their own means. Woofter and Jowett's
collection looks at how Whedon revisits existing feminist
tropes in the '70s and '80s?slasher? craze via Buffy the
Vampire Slayer to create a feminist saga; the innovative
use of silent cinema tropes to produce a new fear-laden,
film-television intertext; postmodernist reflexivity in
Cabin in the Woods ; as well as exploring new concepts
on?cosmic dread? and the sublime for a richer
understanding of programmes Dollhouse and Firefly .
Chapters provide the historical context of horror as well
as the particular production backgrounds that by turns
support, constrain or transform this mode of filmmaking.
Informed by a wide range of theory from within philosophy,
film studies, queer studies, psychoanalysis, feminism and
other fields, the expert contributions to this volume
prove the enduring relevance of Whedon's genre-based
universe to the study of film, television, popular culture
and beyond."--|cProvided by publisher
