Kwon calls the female fandom of gay portrayals "FANtasy culture" and argues that it enables the present growing visibility of the gay body in Korean mainstream media. She also argues that fandom has functioned as a catalyst to ameliorate a harsh reality for a marginalized group. The FANtasy subculture started forming around text-based media, such as yaoi (or "boys' love" manga, a Japanese genre), fan fiction, and U.S. gay-themed dramas, and has been influenced by diverse social, political, and economic conditions, such as the democratization of Korea, an open policy toward foreign media and cultural products, the diffusion of consumerism, government investment in Korean culture, the Hollywoodization of the film industry, and the popularity of Korean culture abroad. While much scholarly attention has been paid to the female fans of homoerotic cultural texts in other countries, Kwon explores both the understudied Korean case and another aspect of the subculture that has been relatively neglected: its location in and influence on the society at large"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 203-219) and index. 505 0 $a Girl fans queered -- Fans empowered -- Fantasy mainstreamed -- Fantasy cinematized -- Fantasy bridged. 650 0 $a Gays in popular culture $z Korea (South) 650 0 $a Gay men $z Korea (South) 650 0 $a Gay men in mass media. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh98004410 650 0 $a Fans (Persons) $z Korea (South) 650 0 $a Gay men $x Relations with heterosexual women $z Korea (South) 651 0 $a Korea (South) $x Social life and customs $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Fans (Persons) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00920677 650 7 $a Gay men. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00939117 650 7 $a Gay men in mass media. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00939163 650 7 $a Gay men $x Relations with heterosexual women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00939144 650 7 $a Gays in popular culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00939311 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 651 7 $a Korea (South) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206791 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Kwon, Jungmin, 1980- $t Straight Korean female fans and their gay imagination. $d Iowa City : University of Iowa Press, [2018] $z 9781609386221 $w (DLC) 2018058044 830 0 $a Fandom & culture. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2018061440 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619010806.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8D1EF28C209B11EABA878C2E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
