homebase for a better world

The german version of this page contains an article on Buffy the Vampire Slayer that was planned to be the announcement for a Buffy-conference in 2007, which unfortunately did not take place.

thanks for the introduction.

if buffy is part of the pop culture industry and this pop culture industry is the remains of what was once bourgeois high culture - then buffy IS highly significant for contemporary culture, but then the different characters are interesting as stand-ins for relations produced by late, post-bourgois capitalism. none of them is progressively read as a projective foil but as figures of defeat - or of productive neurosis: Buffy, the newest member of the SPK!

(and yes, the world would indeed be better if she did not hope for a prince!)
