Description

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: A Cultural Phenomenon Joss Whedon's television series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, has inspired an enduring affection in its audience. Originally conceived as a script for a 1992 feature film, the show far exceeded its source material, developing a devoted fan base that continues to grow. This collection of essays explores how fans internalize, celebrate, and critique their love for the series. Featuring interviews with culture makers, academics, and creators of participatory fandom, the book delves into the personal and communal aspects of the fan experience. It also examines how Buffy inspires the creation of various forms of fandom, including fan fiction, crafting, performance, cosplay, and sing-alongs. By examining the relationship between cult properties and fandom, this book provides a unique insight into how cultural phenomena contribute to our understanding of culture itself.
