近年來,腐文化逐漸深入華語地區青年女性族群的生活領域,成為不可忽視的一種文化景觀。據此,本研究將斜線文看做女性陰性書寫、女性色情的一種方式,探討腐女迷群依據個人的生活脈絡與原文本之語言,對迷文本所做出的挪用與意義再生產行為,以及其背後隱藏的性別文化意涵。 本研究選擇中文腐女論壇隨緣居《星際迷航》迷群創作的斜線文作為研究對象,採用文本分析的方式,試圖解讀腐女改寫原文本進行意義重構,創建內部獨有的語言體系之過程。并通過分析腐女書寫中幾個特殊呈現的文類,找出其中的性別角色建構方式與性別權力關係。 研究結果發現,斜線文雖為女性書寫的男同性戀愛情故事,其中仍舊充斥著父權制度的論述模式,斜線文本質上仍是異性戀情的一種變型。但與此同時,斜線文作為女性寫作的一種新興類型,為陰性書寫開闢了一個新的領域。腐女通過創造兼具男女氣質的男性形象,揭示出性別是被建構與操演的真相,增加新的性別形象的可能性。斜線文開創了一個獨屬於女性的性別閱讀空間,創造出多元、富於變化的雙性性慾文本,形成流動的性別認同模式。本研究認為,可以將腐女書寫與閱讀斜線文的過程看作是一場私密的性別實驗,最終有利於破除性別本質主義。 In recent years, Yaoi Culture has become an innegligible culture phenomenon as it deeply influencing the daily life of young women from places that speak Chinese language. Yaoi fangirls are active in all types of websites, writing tons of slash texts that focus on romantic relationship between male characters. They started as marginal culture and are becoming mainstream culture now. Therefore, this research considers the slash texts as a way of both feminine writing and female pornography, and then discusses the misappropriate using and reproduction of original fiction novels and fangirls’ personal life. The social cultural connotations behind this phenomenon is also be discussed in this research.
The slash texts of Star Trek fandom from Chinese internet forum “Suiyuanju”will be used as study texts. Based on these texts, the research will use discourse analysis and focus on the process of reconstruction of original novels and the creation of the unique language used inside of this fandom. By analyzing some unique genre of slash texts in Yaoi fangirls, this research will also address to the different ways of building up of genders and the relation between different genders.
Even though the slash texts are romantic stories between male characters writing by female, the study results show that the discourse system of patriarchy is used in slash texts due to its internalization in female writers. The binary opposition between masculine characters and feminine characters, featured by male thinking model, is commonly seen in slash texts. In this case, slash texts are a transformation of heterosexuality. However, slash texts open up a new area for feminine writing by breaking the patriarchal thinking pattern of no sexual desire in women. This research also shows that Yaoi fangirls reveal the truth of the human manipulated gender construction through creating male characters that have both masculine and feminine features. From this perspective, Yaoi fangirls bring the possibility of adding to new gender images.
In conclusion, slash texts create a unique reading space with multiple gender images for women. A flexible model of gender identity is forming because of the diversified and changeful texts of sexual desire. The process of Yaoi fangirls writing and reading slash texts is considered as a private experiment of their own interpretation of genders. The attempts making by Yaoi fangirls will also be beneficial to eradicate gender essentialism.
