Boys Love Media in Thailand: Celebrity, Fans, and Transnational Asian Queer Popular Culture is the first book length study of this increasingly significant transnational pop culture phenomenon. Drawing upon six years of ethnographic research, the book reveals BL's impacts on depictions of same-sex desire in Thai media culture and the resultant mainstreaming of queer romance through new forms of celebrity and participatory fandom. The author explores how the rise of BL has transformed contemporary Thai consumer culture, leading to heterosexual female fans of male celebrities who perform homoeroticism becoming the main audience to whom Thai pop culture is geared. Through the case study of BL, this book thus also investigates how Thai media is responding to broader regional trends across Asia where the economic potentials of female and queer fans are becoming increasingly important. Baudinette ultimately argues that the center of queer cultural production in Asia has shifted from Japan to Thailand, investigating both the growing international fandom of Thailand's BL series as well as the influence of international investment into the development of these media. The book particularly focuses on specific case studies of the fandom for Thai BL celebrity couples in Thailand, China, the Philippines, and Japan to explore how BL series have transformed each of these national contexts' queer consumer cultures"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a A history of boys love media and fandom in Thailand -- Adapting Japanese BL: constructing Thai fans, mainstreaming queer romance -- The boys love machine: producing queer idol celebrity at GMM -- Sharing intimacies: social media, GMM fan events, and BL idol fandom -- Thai BL goes global: the queer potentials of Chinese and Philippine fandoms -- Japan's Thai BL boom: a new center for transnational Asian queer popular culture -- Concluding remarks: whither Thai BL? 650 0 $a Sexual minorities in popular culture $z Thailand. 650 0 $a Gay people in popular culture $z Thailand. 650 0 $a Gay men in mass media. 650 0 $a Sex in popular culture $z Thailand. 650 0 $a Sexual minorities in popular culture $z Asia. 650 0 $a Gay people in popular culture $z Asia. 650 0 $a Sex in popular culture $z Asia. 650 0 $a Sex in popular culture $x Economic aspects $z Asia. 650 7 $a Gay men in mass media $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00939163 650 7 $a Gays in popular culture $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00939311 650 7 $a Sex in popular culture $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114483 650 7 $a Sexual minorities in popular culture $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02040679 651 7 $a Asia $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01240495 651 7 $a Thailand $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205310 776 08 $i Online version: $a Baudinette, Thomas. $t Boys love media in Thailand $d New York : Bloomsbury Publishing, 2023 $z 9781350330658 $w (DLC) 2023025272 830 0 $a Asian celebrity and fandom studies 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231219013135.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7A46F77C9E3C11EE84E191EF36ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
