    Vampire Consuming and Consumed

  • Original language description

    True Blood, the HBO channel TV 'vampire' series, brings to the screen social motives, reflects pop-culture, and works as a perfect allegory of consumer culture. The metaphysical, ethical, and social ramifications were pointed out among others in the anthology True Blood and Philosophy from the Blackwell publishers (edition The Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series), which unfortunately did not deal with the characteristic artistic reflection of the consumer world and consumerism that is specific for the series. The aim of this text is an aesthetic analysis of the product of consumer culture, which reflects the behavior of consumers and also helps to shape their habits and preferences. In this series, there is the question of beauty, desire for eternal youth, perfect appearance, attractiveness, and fascination for otherness, which significantly connect the idea of a vampire to the world of commercials and consumer culture.
