Abstract
In his short-lived television show Firefly, Joss Whedon created a future clearly rooted in the present through melded Asian and American influences. Since one of Whedon's overriding concerns in his art is identification of and with his characters, Firefly offers a rich tapestry to explore the ways music, particularly non-Western music, is used in formulations of identity. Exploring the visual and audible representations of the exotic permeating Firefly, this article finds that the show reverses standard musical depictions of non-Western elements and creates new patterns of identification that aid in viewer attachment.
