Taylor Boulware a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of The Fascination/Frustration: Slash Fandom, Genre, and Queer Uptake Taylor Boulware A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Thomas Foster, Chair Anis Bawarshi Katherine Cummings Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of English Fascination/Frustration: Slash Fandom, Genre, and Queer Uptake by Taylor Boulware The University of Washington, 2017 Under the Supervision of Professor Dr. Thomas Foster ABSTRACT This dissertation examines contemporary television slash fandom, in which fans write and circulate creative texts that dramatize non-canonical queer relationships between canonically heterosexual male characters. These texts contribute to the creation of global networks of affective and social relations, critique the specific corporate media texts from which they emerge, and undermine homophobic ideologies that prevent authentic queer representation in mainstream media. Intervening in dominant scholarly and popular arguments about slash fans, I maintain a rigorous distinction between the act of reading homoerotic subtexts in TV shows and writing fiction that makes that homoeroticism explicit, in every sense of the word.This emphasis on writing and the circulation of responsive, recursive texts can best be understood, I argue, through the framework of Rhetorical Genre Studies, which theorizes genres and the ways in which they are deployed, modified, and circulated as ideological and social action. I nuance the RGS concept of uptake, which names the generic dimensions of utterance and response, and define my concept of queer uptake, in which writers respond to a text in ways that refuse its generic boundaries and status, motivated by an ideological resistance to both genre and sexual normativity. To complement and further develop queer uptake, I draw on Queer Theory and Affect Studies to propose a wholly new theoretical approach to understanding slash fandom as a site of queer subversion, in which writers critique heteronormativity and homophobia – ideologies that are, to ii varying degrees, perpetuated by their chosen source texts. Central to my argument is the increase in fan-canon interaction and communication that largely defines our contemporary convergent mediascape, as well the heightened visibility of slash fandom in mainstream media discourse that demands producers acknowledge their slash fandoms in some capacity. I explore two of the most popular relationships in contemporary fandom, Sterek (Stiles/Derek) from MTV’s Teen Wolf (2011 – 2017) and Destiel, (Dean/Castiel) from the CW’s Supernatural (2005 – present) for how they embody different dimensions of queer uptake. My analysis of Sterek explores how the canon’s initially positive responses to the slash fandom ultimately proved to be blatant queerbaiting, and, how as a result, the fandom has largely rejected the canon – but not the characters, still creating art and writing fics that offer pointed criticisms and celebrate the queer relationship. My analysis of Destiel focuses on Supernatural’s unique use of metanarrative and self-referentiality, as together with a nuanced understanding of genre, to canonically respond to its fandom, resulting in a much more positive and productive fan-canon dynamic. I also consider how slash fandom’s preoccupation with sexual explicitness rejects heteronormative politics of shame in order to imagine male intimacy and the male body unbound from traditional masculinity. I conclude that the texts produced by fan writers are at once complexly critical of the corporate media texts that motivate them, and that the queer uptakes fan writers perform are rich with possibility for understanding the increasingly-important dynamics between producers and audiences, and as a site where those who are not fairly represented in popular media can offer each other sustenance iii © Taylor Boulware, 2017 All Rights Reserved iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This may be counterintuitive for a dissertation about writing, but I must admit that words feel woefully inadequate to fully acknowledge the people whose support has made the completion of this dissertation and my doctorate possible. Nevertheless, I shall persist. First and foremost, I thank and offer my endless gratitude to my family for their unconditional love and unwavering belief in me, especially when I didn’t believe in myself. To my parents, Tevis Boulware and Rebel Boulware, who have taught me to always follow my heart and to work hard, and who have provided immeasurable emotional, mental, and financial support, I say thank you and I love you. To my sister Brooke Drew, whose talent with layout and design saved me the massive troubles of formatting both my MA thesis in 2008 and now this dissertation, I offer you a quote from Buffy the Vampire Slayer: “thanks, B, I couldn’t have done it without ya.” My aunt, Susan Boulware, Ph.D., has my deepest gratitude for her love and support, as well as for providing me with lifelong inspiration to become another Dr. Boulware. I am also so grateful for my grandparents Bob and Velma Easter, and my nieces Savannah and Esme, all who provide much needed levity when things get too stressful. Finally, I want to acknowledge my late grandparents, Elizabeth Boulware and John Boulware, M.D., whose financial support made much of my education possible. The outstanding English doctoral program at UW has transformed me as a person, teacher, and scholar. The financial support and opportunity to teach at a world-class university, the intellectual rigor, and welcoming faculty who embrace nontraditional ideas have all be formative and extremely valuable. I am particularly indebted to courses from Dr. Chandan Reddy, Dr. Carolyn Allen, Dr. Gillian Harkins, and Dr. Tom Foster for helping to inspire and energize this dissertation. Dr. Foster has also been an excellent dissertation chair, allowing v me the freedom to explore my interests and arguments while providing insightful feedback and support. Dr. Kate Cummings was a fantastic exam committee chair and has continued to provide her helpful insights on this project. Dr. Anis Bawarshi has been a confidant, mentor, and committee member whose scholarship and kindness has been instrumental to my arguments and my success. The relationships with friends and colleagues from the English Department that I’ve been blessed with have been essential to my academic work and emotional wellbeing, and I cannot emphasize enough just how much they mean to me. Ned Schaumberg, Tesla Schaefer, Liz Janssen, Roger Chao, and Alissa Bourbannais, Ph.D., are brilliant, compassionate, spiritually generous, delightful people who continually inspire and motivate me. Kirin Wachter-Grene, Ph.D., and Leanne Day, are two of the funniest, smartest, most badass women on this Earth, and I am honored to call them friends and eternally grateful that I am on this journey with them. My friendships are an embarrassment of riches. Amy Simmons is my rock, and I absolutely could not have done any of this without her love, support, and ability to make me laugh in even my darkest moods. Dr. Rubén Casas is a best friend like no other, and a brilliant scholar and to boot. Devoe Lindsey has stuck by me since sophomore year of college; she and her husband Dustin have given me refuge from the chaos of grad school life for over a decade now. Edward T. Jones II has been my emotional anchor and a constant source of encouragement for the past year. His belief in me, unyielding support, intelligence, hilarious and brilliant wit, and kindness remind me everyday that people are worth believing in and the world is worth saving. I am also deeply indebted to the Sterek and Destiel fandoms for their creativity, intelligence, and fierce passion. The fellow slash writers I’ve had the privilege to become friends vi with in the years since joining the Sterek fandom have been instrumental to the development of my ideas, serving as sounding boards, random question answerers, and early draft readers – for both my fic and this project. Bleep0bleep, mad-madam-m, fauvistfly, literary-oblivion, and infectedcolors are all wonderfully talented, kind, and encouraging writers, artists, and friends whose shared love of Sterek continually inspires me. And to my friends and fellow Sterek fans Flannery, Carly, Hannah, Bella, and Jamie – thank you for always being there to listen, make me smile, and remind me that there’s something magical about these fictional idiots in love. With that in mind, I must also acknowledge the actors who portray these characters for bringing them to life with such skill and vibrancy, and who have handled the surely overwhelming popularity of their slash fandoms with aplomb. Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, and Misha Collins from Supernatural are hilarious, thoughtful, and talented men who understand the power of fandom. Dylan O’Brien and Tyler Hoechlin from Teen Wolf have been equally kind and open-minded; I met Tyler Hoechlin at Emerald City Comic Con in 2015, and the conversation we had about fandom, his performance as Derek, and this dissertation, will always be one of the highlights of my life. I hope they realize just how meaningful their work is. I hope that all slash writers realize how meaningful their work is as well, and how their dedication to characters, smart critiques, striving for queer representation, and unabashed love of love has given so many hope and comfort. Always keep fighting, always keep writing. vii For the fans viii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract ii Acknowledgments v Figures x Introduction “Ever More Complex Relations:” Slash, Genre, and the Canon 1 Chapter 1 Queer Uptake: A New Theory of Slash 19 Chapter 2 “Yes Homo:” Teen Wolf, Sterek, and a World Without Heterosexuality (and the Canon) 59 Chapter 3 “You can’t spell subtext without S-E-X”: Genre, Male Homosocial Desire, and Queer Uptake in Supernatural 88 Conclusion Fucking, Fascination, and Frustration: The Critical Erotics of Slash 129 Works Cited 149 ix FIGURES Figure 1 Sterek, the pairing of canonically heterosexual characters Stiles (left) and Derek (right), has come to largely define the Teen Wolf fandom – and perhaps even the show itself.

Title: Just Go Find Yourself a Nice Alpha: Gender and Consent in Supernatural Fanfiction’s Alpha/Beta/Omega Universe. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Rebecca Olson Shows, books, and media are constantly negotiating power with their fans. Who decides what is canon? To whom does the story belong?? The answer has traditionally been in favor of producers. However, in the age of the internet, fans now hold considerably more power than they ever have before, and some shows, like the CW’s Supernatural, respond by participating in “fanservice.” Many fans of this show strongly support slash and incest pairings, and by allowing such interpretations to be acknowledged in the narrative Supernatural makes increasingly transgressive readings available to the audience. The trope known as “Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics” is extremely popular, borderline pornographic, and virtually eradicates women from the narrative—instead depicting a relationship between men that is highly heterosexual in dynamic. This trope deconstructs the gender binary by assigning gender roles based on behavior, rather than biology, and appeals to an animal code of ethics in order to indulge in problematic, sexist, and abusive sexual situations.

  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

Rosen1 Who's Your Daddy: Father Trumps Fate in Supernatural From the pilot episode, Supernatural has clearly been rooted in family, specifically in a male-only family. The brief glimpse viewers have of the Winchester household together is quickly replaced by a family ravaged by the death of a beloved mother and wife. Following Mary’s death, the family becomes less like kin and more like an elite fighting squad with John as the stern general. John’s shift from loving, nurturing father to disciplinarian will have far- reaching effects on Dean and Sam and the men that they will ultimately become, yet their experiences with John as father are vastly different.

The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the potential role of male homoerotic media, including gay pornography, slash fiction, and Yaoi, in facilitating women’s sexual desire, fantasy, and subjectivity – and the ways in which this expansion is circumscribed by dominant discourses regulating women’s gendered and sexual subjectivities.

    Feminist Encounters: A Journal of Critical Studies in Culture and Politics, 3(1-2), 19 ISSN: 2542-4920 Book Review Boys’ Love, Cosplay, and Androgynous Idols: Queer Fan Cultures in Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan Jenny Lin 1* Published: September 10, 2019 Edited By: Maud Lavin, Ling Yang, and Jing Jamie Zhao Publication Date: 2017 Publisher: Hong Kong: Hong Kong University Press, Queer Asia Series Price: HK $495 (Hong Kong, Macau, Mainland China, and Taiwan) US $60 (Other countries) Number of Pages: 292 pp. hardback. ISBN: 978-988-8390-9 If, like me, you were born before 1990 and are not immersed in online fan cultures, you may never have heard of the acronyms BL and GL that comprise the primary thrust of Boys’ Love, Cosplay, and Androgynous Idols: Queer Fan Cultures in Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan (hereafter Queer Fan Cultures). Fortunately, this captivating anthology’s editors Maud Lavin, Ling Yang, and Jing Jamie Zhao define ‘BL (Boys’ Love, a fan subculture narrating male homoeroticism)’ and ‘GL (Girls’ Love, a fan subculture narrating female homoeroticism)’ (p. xi) at the outset in the Introduction. Lavin, Yang, and Zhao expertly unpack and contextualise these and other terms that may be new to the less enlightened reader – ‘ACG (anime, comics, and games)’ (p. xii); ‘slash/femslash (fan writing practices that explore male/female homoerotic romances)’ (p. xiv); and Chinese slang ‘tongzhi (gay), guaitai (weirdo), ku’er (cool youth)’ (p. xix) – which reappear in fruitful discussions in the following chapters. I recently assigned Queer Fan Cultures in a seminar, and my millennial students, who enthusiastically devoured the book, already knew all about BL, GL, and ACG, as well as related concepts like “cosplay” (costume play, as when people dress like manga and anime characters) and “shipping,” which denotes when fans couple two seemingly heterosexual characters in a same-sex relationship.

Regendered works, such as the TV series Elementary, illustrate the complexity of representation, and the ongoing imbalanced landscape of media. I develop a more cohesive understanding of the fannish counterpublic and its complex approaches to creativity and gender by grounding the research and data collection in fan studies, gender studies, and literary theory. This thesis uses interviews, surveys, and observations of fannish communities, and close readings of regendered texts and media, to develop two theories of regendered effects. One: the position of regendered work within fannish counterpublics is one centred on the conflicts and tensions between lived experiences and the media landscape, performed through the creative forms that characterise their communities. Fannish experiences of gender and sexuality influence their reception of those works, and how they practice regendering as a creative process. Two: these works then reinforce that counterpublic by correcting the gender imbalance of the initial work, and re-othering the expectations of that work.

  • TWO CASES of CHINESE INTERNET STUDIES a Thesis
    TWO CASES OF CHINESE INTERNET STUDIES A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Yuan Liang August 2019 © 2019 Yuan Liang ABSTRACT This thesis consists of two parts. Chapter 1 concentrates on one genre of Chinese online literature and its relationship with gender and sexuality. It aims at exploring the diversity of Chinese danmei fiction and relating it to the gendered self- identifications of young and educated women in contemporary China. It argues that while danmei fiction in China creates a channel of gender and sexual expressions, it also reflects the difficulties and contradictions that women encounter and experience when they try to place themselves into the current social and economic structure. Chapter 2 studies Chris Marker’s documentary Sunday in Peking and its reception in contemporary China. It closely examines the internet reviews on a Chinese website from the perspectives of idealization and exoticization, and contends that both the filmmaker and his Chinese audiences are under the influences of stereotypes that their society, culture or ideology impose on them. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Yuan Liang was born and raised in Chengdu, China. She started her undergraduate studies at Beijing Normal University in 2013 and earned her bachelor’s degree in Chinese Language and Literature in 2017. In the same year, she joined the M.A. program in Asian Studies at Cornell University. She is expected to receive her master’s degree in August 2019. After graduation, she will become a Ph.D.
