As one of the first German-language authors, Marcus Recht presents an elaborate analysis of the extraordinary depiction of alternative sexuality in the TV show Buffy. Using extensive scientific methodology, Recht demonstrates that the show both analyzes, reflects, and caricatures social constructs and establishes an alternative sexuality, which puts the male vampires into a gender context that was completely new at the time when the show was broadcast. Furthermore, the author addresses many other classic film-sociological theories on gender construction and representation and incorporates them into the analysis. A good foundational work for beginners as well as for experts in the field, who want to examine the scientific potential of the pop-cultural field.
