Przepisać kulturę, czyli napisać slash
Streszczenie
‘Fanfiction’ is a term used for amateur, non-commercial stories written
by fans, which relate to specific texts of culture. In my paper I make an
attempt to analyze a special type of fanfiction, that is ‘slash’. Several academics
identify this genre with pornography, because it includes a plenty
of short texts focusing on erotic scenes. There are also many long stories
among them with complex plots arranged only to depict a sexual fetish
that confirm this view. However, other researchers claim that the most
important context for fanfiction is heterosexual romance, not porn. It is
a popular strategy in fics to rewrite plots taken from romantic comedies,
harlequins or even Disney’s films and fairy tales, while replacing the original
heroine with a male character from another text of culture.
On the basis of the very definition of slash I also ask a question whether
‘slash’ equals ‘homosexual’ – that is, whether slash is or may be considered
gay literature. In fact, ‘slash fiction’ does not focus on the realistic depiction
of gay people; it is also far from being LGBT literature. Although fans’
fantasies demand texts about gay characters, it does not mean they are just
about gay topics.
