Joss Whedon's Dollhouse: Confounding Purpose, Confusing Identity

This collection of essays contextualizes Joss Whedon's Dollhouse as a postmodern investigation into what makes us human and as an examination of how technology invariably transforms our identity and perhaps even our humanity. Together, these essays provide a provocative meditation on how one example of science fiction comments on the state of personal identity in a 21st-century society dependent on forms of technology that threaten the individual. This collection of essays examines the various characters and themes presented in the series throughout its two-year run on television. In addition, the essays look at how the series fits into Joss Whedon's oeuvre as auteur, director, and producer.
