Name Joss Whedon's Dollhouse
Track(s) Reading, Viewing, and Critiquing Science Fiction (Power, Privilege, and Oppression)
Description Dollhouse has finished its first season on TV. The premise of the show involves a group of people "who can be imprinted with personality packages for different assignments." This premise could easily end up being highly problematic. How well did the show do in its representations of power in terms of gender and race?
