What if James T. Kirk and Spock had a baby, left the Enterprise and moved to New Vulcan to live happily ever after?
Fan fiction plots like this are a strong testament of fans' endless creativity. Not only do the authors invent their own storylines but they have developed a generic definition of content across fandoms according to the relationship present in the text. Classification is therefore profoundly related to gender and sexuality. Julia Elena Goldmann examines these generic structures and formulaic patterns comparatively in Star Trek and Supernatural fan fiction. She also focuses on the interplay of the concepts of gender, sexuality, relationships and depictions of family in these texts.

REVIEWS Icon
»Die Arbeit [bietet] wertvolle Einblicke in die Art und Weise, wie Fan-Fiction – zumindest bis zu einem gewissen Grad – als kreative Plattform zum Ausdruck von Gesellschaftskritik genutzt wird. Sie leistet damit einen Beitrag zum breiteren akademischen Diskurs über Fankulturen und ihren Einfluss auf Medienerzählungen.«
Julia Elena Goldmann studied communication studies at the Paris Lodron University Salzburg. She graduated with a PhD (summa cum laude) in November 2019 and currently works as an independent scholar.
