The films, television shows and graphic novel series that comprise
the Whedonverse continually show that there is a high price to be
paid for love, rebellion, heroism, anger, death, betrayal,
friendship and saving the world. This collection of essays reveals
the ways in which the Whedonverse treats the trauma of ordinary
life with similar gravitas as trauma created by the supernatural,
illustrating how memories are lost, transformed, utilized,
celebrated, revered, questioned, feared and rebuffed within the
storyworlds created by Joss Whedon and his collaborators. Through a
variety of approaches and examinations, the essays in this book
seek to understand how the themes of trauma, memory, and identity
enrich one another in the Whedonverse and beyond. As the authors
present different arguments and focus on various texts, the essays
work to build a mosaic of the trauma found in beloved works like
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Dollhouse and more. The book
concludes with a meta-analysis that explores the allegations of
various traumas made against Joss Whedon himself.
