Book description
This book looks at the conceptions of family explored in Buffy and Angel. Jes Battis asserts that the series explored nontraditional families that were not necessarily related by blood.
How does "family" relate to concepts of gender, sexuality, power and the supernatural? This book considers such questions. It also examines the "chosen family" as used successfully by programs such as Friends and Sex and the City.

gollark: Does anyone know how to give SQL queries array parameters in `tiny_sqlite`? SQLite has a CARRAY thing but it's not builtin and `tiny_sqlite` doesn't mention any support for it. Are there other libraries which can do this? I think I can use the JSON extension for this but ew.
gollark: Doing it yourself would probably be vulnerable to horrible side channel attacks.
gollark: `asyncCheck thing1()`, `asyncCheck thing2()`, `runForever`?
gollark: Is there something like strutils.replace but which takes a set of chars as an argument? I want to replace unsafe-in-filename characters in a string with underscores.
gollark: The manual seems to be missing some things though, like slices.
