Vengeful Witches/Angry Whores: Representations of Revenge in Popular Culture

The aim of this article is to trace the recurring gendering of revenge in Western popular culture. The " myth of Medea " is used to analyse the trope of the vengeful woman, whose uncontrolled, destructive anger is constructed as a communal threat and tied to the notion of sexual promiscuity. The first part of the paper provides a historical background for the analysis of the trope, including a foray into the history of the anger-sexual promiscuity-tabooed magic triad through a discussion of anger in Aristotle and its later, early modern applications in the discourse on the female body inspired by Ovid. The second part of the article focuses on the contemporary retelling of " the myth of Medea " that puts it in a new light (Buffy the Vampire Slayer).

As television series such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel present a self-conscious polysemy, the ways in which characters’ identities are represented is increasingly multiple and diffuse. This paper examines the Buffy ‘side kick’ character Willow’s evolution of performative identity across seven years. Critics have suggested her compulsive use of witchcraft during the sixth season of the programme operated as a simile for drug addiction. By examining the development of her subjecthood across seven years, I show that a different and more rigorous reading implicates her identity performativity in a power/knowledge network governed by the ‘bully culture’ of highschool. Willow’s attempt to shirk off her victim status by crossing the bully/victim divide allows an alternative reading in which the tenuous nature of self-empowerment is ‘shown up’ in Buffy.

This Master Thesis deals with the phenomena of "fans" and "fandom" in mainstream television. The work is divided into three parts. In the first part, after an introduction about the research process, and the requirements and difficulties of the investigation of a television series, an overview of the phenomenon of fandom from different perspectives is given. Different approaches, both academic and media studies as well as psychopathological, are offered. Some fundamental aspects of television production techniques and their interrelations with the target group, as well as the distinction between audience and fandom, an essential feature of the work shows, will be discussed. The production of fanfiction, being this one of the main bases of research, is discussed in more detail. In the second part of the work deals in more detail with the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The series was chosen due to the broad reception, both in academic circles as well as by the non-academic fans. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is in one hand a popular youth series about the daily horror of growing up, disguised as a battle against vampires and other demons. On the other hand, the series drove right from the beginning the attention of the academic world to the product for its use of text and subtext. The series is also known by a high level of interaction with the fan community. This interaction forms part of this research. The third part presents the research process and results to the research question: "How are the fans of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer represent in the series." The investigation focuses on two aspects. Firstly, the use of fanfiction techniques proofs their close contact with the fan base. Secondly, the series characters, to take over the role of fans in the series: "Trio" and Potential", are closely explored. The investigation is limited to the last two seasons of the series: Season 6 and Season 7 (first airdate 2001-2003). The reasons to reduce the whole 144 episodes of the series to this last 44 episodes are multiple: to begin with it is beyond the scope of a master's thesis, to look into the totally of 144 episodes at 45 minutes each; further the series itself offers a break between the first five seasons and the remaining two due to a channel change and the consequently new targeted groups; further on the study of these 44 episodes allows of a continuity while the threefold totally of the whole series would have been unmanageable; and finally, these seasons offer two new character groups, the aforementioned Trio and Potentials, that correlate perfectly with the usual clichés and associations regarding fans and fandom. An epilogue summarizes the results and answers the research question. Buffy the Vampire Slayer interacts with their fans at a high level, and the fans play a very strong role in the series. This role is outlined twofold, through the use of fanfiction techniques in the scripts, and through the characters that are supposed to represent the fans. The preceding analysis shows that fanfiction techniques are used rigorously and consistently, while the role of the Buffy fans in the series is mirrored by merely cliché characters. A dichotomy between the reception of the series by the academia and by the non-academic community is also addressed. While the academia puts a great emphasis on the subtext and its conscious use by the Buffy writers, the broad Buffy fan community is more attracted by the metaphor of growing up as a battle against a never-ending-demon-horde. Out of the talks carried out during the research, a dichotomous picture of the two fan groups appears: the academia focuses on the subtext, is more sensitive to the historical and literary ideas contained therein, is aware of subtle irony in the series and are mostly middle-aged. Non-academic fans are younger, belonging to the network targeted age group - tweens, 11 to 24 years old – they focus their reading of the product on the representation of their own struggle growing up. An annex with a brief summary of each of the 44 episodes involved in the research facilitates the understanding of the results. A detailed bibliography completes the work.

The strongly gendered nature of witchcraft accusations and convictions, clearly sex-related if not entirely sex-specific, 7 has long been of interest to scholars. Most studies of European witchcraft address the issue to some extent, and many focus specifically on this point. 8 Especially for the period of the great witch-hunts proper, in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the economic, social, cultural, and even psychological factors that may have underlain and supported accusations against women have all been explored to varying degrees. Yet surprisingly, for all the recognition that the full stereotype of witchcraft represents a constructed concept rather than a practiced reality, interest in the early development of the actual idea of the female witch has remained slight. Often scholars of the early-modern witch-hunts explore the roots of this idea no further back than the Malleus maleficarum, and too readily accept the notion, so seemingly apparent in the Malleus, that longstanding Christian and especially clerical misogyny underlies and explains authorities' ready acceptance of the association of witchcraft with women.

Reviews for "Exploring the Rituals and Ceremonies Involving Black Magic Lipstick"

1. Sara - 2/5 - I was really excited to try the Blzck magic lipstick after hearing so many rave reviews, but unfortunately, it just didn't live up to the hype. The color payoff was very poor, and I had to apply multiple layers to get any noticeable color on my lips. Even then, the color was uneven and patchy. Additionally, the formula was quite drying and emphasized the lines on my lips. Overall, I found the Blzck magic lipstick to be a disappointment and would not repurchase it.

2. Mike - 1/5 - I have never been more disappointed in a lipstick than I was with Blzck magic. The color appeared completely different on my lips than it did in the tube, and it looked incredibly unnatural. The consistency of the lipstick was also horrible; it felt heavy and greasy, and it didn't stay on for more than an hour. I also noticed that it feathered and bled into the fine lines around my mouth. I definitely would not recommend Blzck magic lipstick to anyone.

3. Emily - 2/5 - I had high hopes for the Blzck magic lipstick, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The color selection was limited, and the shade I chose ended up looking dull and faded on my lips. The texture of the lipstick was quite waxy, making it difficult to apply smoothly. I also found that it didn't last very long on my lips and needed constant reapplication throughout the day. Overall, I don't think the Blzck magic lipstick is worth the price and would not purchase it again.

4. David - 2/5 - I found the Blzck magic lipstick to be quite underwhelming. The color range was not very impressive, and the shade I picked turned out to be too sheer and washed out on my lips. The formula itself was not very long-lasting and started to fade within a couple of hours. It also had a strange chemical smell, which was quite off-putting. Overall, I didn't find the Blzck magic lipstick to be anything special and wouldn't recommend it to others.
