  • Geek Policing: Fake Geek Girls and Contested Attention
    International Journal of Communication 9(2015), 2862–2880 1932–8036/20150005 Geek Policing: Fake Geek Girls and Contested Attention JOSEPH REAGLE1 Northeastern University, USA I frame the 2012–2013 discourse about “fake geek girls” using Bourdieu’s theory of fields and capital, complemented by the literature on geeks, authenticity, and boundary policing. This discourse permits me to identify the reciprocal relationship between the policing of identity (e.g., Am I a geek?) and the policing of social boundaries (e.g., Is liking an X-Men movie sufficiently geeky?). Additionally, geekdom is gendered, and the policing of fake geek girls can be understood as a conflict over what is attended to (knowledge or attractiveness), by whom (geekdom or mainstream), and the meaning of received attention (as empowering or objectifying). Finally, despite the emergence of a more progressive and welcoming notion of geeks-who-share, the conversation tended to manifest the values of dominant (androcentric) members. That is, in a discourse started by a woman to encourage other women to be geeky, some of the loudest voices were those judging women’s bodies and brains according to traditionally androcentric and heteronormative values. Consequently, in this boundary and identity policing, women faced significant double binds, and the discourse exemplified a critical boomerang in which a critique by a woman circled back to become a scrutiny of women by men. Keywords: authenticity, boundaries, capital, geek, gender, policing, subculture In March 2012, Tara Tiger Brown (2012), a self-described “tech entrepreneur, educator and opinion writer,” wrote an article entitled “Dear Fake Geek Girls: Please Go Away.” The article prompted much discussion, generating 250 comments below the article itself as well as thousands of comments elsewhere.

  • What Does Gender Mean in Regendered Characters
    What Does Gender Mean in Regendered Characters Author Baker, Lucy Published 2017-12-31 Thesis Type Thesis (PhD Doctorate) School School of Hum, Lang & Soc Sc DOI https://doi.org/10.25904/1912/2211 Copyright Statement The author owns the copyright in this thesis, unless stated otherwise. Downloaded from http://hdl.handle.net/10072/380299 Griffith Research Online https://research-repository.griffith.edu.au WHAT DOES GENDER MEAN IN REGENDERED CHARACTERS Ms Lucy Irene Baker, BA (Hons), MAppSci(Lib&InfoMgmt) School of Humanities, Languages, and Social Science Griffith University Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 31 December 2017 21 Abstract This thesis examines the ways regendering, or ‘genderswapping’, is performed as an adaptational creative choice for fans and creators. 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.
