Mar. 29th, 2008 03:59 pmI'm writing an essay about the Buffy episode "Doppelgangland." It's about gender. Synonyms for "provocative" and "sexualised", flist?
The essay's actually going really badly. God knows why: it's about how "images and understandings of gender (femininity or masculinity) affect the representation of monstrosity or the abject." So it should be easy as pie - Evil Willow's slutting it up all over the screen. But, argh, there must be more to say - I can't make that take up 3,500 words, and I kinda don't want to. How come all the Buffy scholarship is on Buffy, not Willow? Anyway - this is all by way of asking, if anyone knows any good spots for Buffy meta, especially episodic Buffy meta or Buffy gender meta witrh a focus on pre-Tara Willow, I'd love a tip.
