Abstract

ORIG CZ

V originále

This study analyzes the modes of spectatorship in one of the most re-evaluated phenomenons of recent audiovisual culture - Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spin-off Angel - both in the Czech context to which the issue is rather new. The Buffy series maintains its cult postition in humanities research and as such it has undergone extensive observation from many traditional fields of inquiry. However, education sciences have been standing a bit aloof of these efforts. The survey, grounded in bibliopedagogy and cinematherapy approaches, is structured into five parts: 1) Introduction (first public notion of Buffy series in the Czech Republic, Buffy becomes a favorite discussion topic, modes of representation according to respondents' opinions); 2) Identification (favoured and unfavoured Buffy series characters, unifying subjects and issues in accordance to one's real-life experience, self-identification); 3) Fan activites and creative efforts (frequency of Buffy viewing experience, creating blogs, webpage designs and subsequent graphics innovations, fan-fiction stories and hypotheses, using foreign languages within the Buffy fan-fiction creative efforts); 4) Reality and authenticity (spatial representations, masks and costumes, Buffy series vs. other TV series comparations; happy endings discussions); 5) Aspects of communication (Buffy-related thoughts and shared experience).
