活动简介
Fan culture in China has been booming in recent years, with terms such as fan economy, idol culture, fandom, and “Boys’ Love” appearing frequently in mainstream media and cultural products. Some social events related to fan culture have also begun to attract widespread public attention and discussion. This research has given an in-depth portrait of the fan communities of BL-adapted stars in China by conducting a Weibo-based digital ethnography, and intend to reveal how the mainstream power discourse including both the heteronormative and the ‘revolutionary’ logic permeates the whole fandom. This research indicates that the female-dominated fan subculture cannot be straightforwardly and monolithically understood as a resistance or negotiation with the mainstream heteronormative culture. Rather, it is appropriation of, and sometimes complicity with the mainstream power discourse, which intensifies the internal hierarchies of fandom and even perpetuates the heteronormativity.
