Summary:
This book theorizes five youth television series: Dawson's Creek, Freaks and Geeks, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Roswell, and Smallville from a psychoanalytic perspective drawing on the meeting ground between Jacques Lacan, Giles Deleuze, and Felix Guattari. Jagodzinski develops the notion of self-reflexivity (as distinct from self-reflection and self reflexion) to idenify that aspect of the inhuman within ourselves, namely the order of the drives that these series explore.
