Mr. Pointy Awards / 2013
For Works Published in 2012


Short-Form Award
  •  Frohard-Dourlent, Hélène. “When the Heterosexual Script Goes Flexible: Public Reactions to Female Heteroflexibility in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Comic Books.” Sexualities 15.5-6 (Sept. 2012): 718-38. Print.

Long-Form Award
  • Recht, Marcus. Der sympathische Vampir: Visualisierungen von Männlichkeiten in der TV-Serie Buffy. Frankfurt: Campus-Verlag, 2011. Print.*
* Although the WSA members represent several countries throughout the world, English is the most common--although not the only--language for publication for Whedon Studies scholarship. This is the first year that a work published in a language other than English has received the Mr. Pointy award. Recht’s volume was originally published in 2011; the award jury voted to postpone consideration for one year in order to establish procedures for fairly evaluating non-English works, making Recht’s volume eligible for consideration with works published in 2012.

  • Randell-Moon, Holly. “‘I’m Nobody’: The Somatechnical Construction of Bodies and Identity in Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse.” Feminist Media Studies 12.2 (2012): 265-80. Print.
