"Like other forms of fan fiction, slash fiction--centered on same-sex relationships between two or more characters--is a powerful cultural dialogue. Though the genre can be socially transformative, particularly as an active feminist resistance to patriarchal ideologies, it is complex and continually evolving. This collection of new essays covers topics on real, "fringe" bodies and identities; the inscription and transgression of bodily boundaries; and the exploration of power, autonomy and personal agency. Considering the darker side of the genre, these essays discuss how systems of authority are both challenged adn reiterated by the erotic imagination, and how the voices of marginalized groups are both raised and ignored within slash fiction and fan communities"-- No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

I have to object to the A/B/O essay’s argument that the initial A/B/O trope comes from Amok Time in ST:TOS, in which Spock “is a slave to his biological urges” and the episode hangs on biological determinism and “a biological imperative that the characters cannot escape.” I’m ok with the geneaology, but a key plot point of Amok Time is that Spock need not, in fact, mate or die; he does neither (but rather lives long and prospers). Watch for the contradiction in this bit: “If we think back to Amok Time it is obvious that the female T’Pring takes the role of the omega of the episode, with Kirk and Spock acting as two opposing alphas … Kirk … remains the alpha of the USS Enterprise, whereas Spock continues as his second in command (beta), or, as some could argue, as his omega. This inherent inequality is crucial in A/B/O slash fiction; ruled and defined by their biological roles, human alphas and omegas traditionally interact in an inflexible [way].” The genius of deterministic fantasy is that it makes us see biological destiny even when its absence is staring us in the face, and the essay’s slippage on this point I think says something about the attractions of A/B/O, though I too find far too many examples of the genre fetishizing and accepting uncritically this supposed biological imperative. Culture is regularly harder to change or see through than nature! ( )
