Join us for a lecture by Agata Zygardowicz on Buffy and her iconic impact on American television: “Feminism and Gender Representations in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” Buffy the Vampire Slayer occupies a significant space in the history of feminist media, portraying themes of 1990s third-wave feminism, postfeminist aesthetics, and television genre for teens. This lecture examines how the series both reflects and critiques feminist ideals, offering a protagonist who is emotionally vulnerable, fashion-conscious, and physically powerful at the same time.
