Girls' Stuff May (?) '94

Girls' Stuff, May (?) '94

I've mentioned in past articles the shonen ai . or "boys' love" genre of shojo manga, in which young men are portayed as lovers. (It's also known as bishonen or yaoi. ) Several people have remarked to me on the similarities between shonen ai and "slash," a genre popular among some North American women in which fans produce their own fiction and art portraying such male duos as Kirk and Spock as lovers. (Thus the "slash": Kirk/Spock, Starsky/Hutch, etc.) The similarities really are striking (differences in scale aside), and seem to indicate a fantasy shared by some North American and Japanese women.

Most of what I know about slash comes from reading and from chatting (via e-mail) with Arin Komins, a slash fan at the U. of Chicago who is working on a master's thesis in psychological anthropology on—ta-dum!—the shonen ai genre. (And you thought I was the only one!) It seems a tenuous link has been formed between slash and shonen ai in the form of a widely-circulated fan translation of From Eroica With Love. by Yasuko Aoike. (I mentioned her popularity in North America in the January issue.) Slash fans are an obvious audience for shonen ai, and I hope the word spreads through that community quickly.

Another obvious audience for this genre is gay men, with whom it is popular in Japan. But I would like to think there are plenty of straight men out there who, like me, believe you don't have to be gay (or a straight woman, or a lesbian) to enjoy a good gay love story. I've already heard from one such man, but I've also heard from several who, after telling me how much they enjoyed "Promise" and looked forward to more shojo in English, made a point of telling me they wouldn't be interested in a same-sex love story (as if I, of all people, would find their interest in shojo cause to question their "manhood").

The bottom line is this is a fascinating genre, and I would hope it finds a broad English-language audience. Drop me a line—via e-mail or by "snail mail" c/o Viz—and let me know what you think. If enough people show interest, we may look forward to a shonen ai story in a future Flower Comics release.

An Academic Article On Yaoi Homophobia and Misogyny

An Academic Article: On Yaoi, Homophobia and Misogyny

Yaoi = Yama nashi ochi nashi imi nashi. Also: Yamete, oshiri ga itai!

I came across this yaoi academic article written by Wim Lunsing termed On Yaoi Ronsō: Discussing Depictions of Male Homosexuality in Japanese Girls’ Comics, Gay Comics and Gay Pornography which you may access here. Ronsou (論争) means controversy and used in this context, this article discusses the potential homophobic elements within yaoi manga and Lunsing has done a great job representing both the queer and feminist circles who comes from two different camps in interpreting the social implications of yaoi towards misogyny, homophobia and minority misrepresentation.

Lunsing has eloquently laid out the history of yaoi ranging from the publication of one of the first yaoi manga drawn: Hiizuredokoro no tenshi by Yamagishi Ryōko towards the phenomenon of of bara manga (manga for gay men, by mostly gay men) as a counter-response to towards the inaccuracies of gay relationships depicted in yaoi manga. I’m not going to talk about it here because it think that it’s mostly factual and it’s fleshed out pretty nicely so do go ahead and read it if you’re interested. I think that there are two arguments you can make about yaoi manga. You can either say that yaoi is homophobic because in echoing Satō Masaki, yaoi perpetuates a misrepresentation of how homosexuals behave, look like, have relationships etc. Homosexuals do not neatly identify themselves as uke or seme, they do not usually have feminine, slender, hairless bodies and in this sense, homosexuals as portrayed within the manga are demasculinised, emasculated and are depicted in a manner that is set up for the female to be viewed upon as sexual objects, for the pleasure of others. Hence, Masaki argues that female readers are no different from hentai jijiis(変体爺, dirty old men) who objectifies women in order to obtain sexual gratification through the eroticism of voyeurism.

Masaki: Fujoshis = female version of hentai jijis.

In fact, Yanagita Akiko agrees with Masaki to a certain degree because yaoi in this sense, acts as a tool for feminist emancipation, though the way it does so is through decidedly homophobic ways. Heterosexual relationships depicted in manga, be it shojo (note that the term shojo 処女 means virgin or maiden) or shounen usually carry a certain traditionalist, misogynistic portrayal of women where they are usually the passive party, the support hero, the one whose sole purpose is to fall in love with the male protagonist. In this sense, the female is usually portrayed for the needs and fulfillment of the male character and hence, always already a subject of patriarchy. Yaoi however, challenges such patriarchal portrayals by providing a gateway for women to look at men, presented in subordinated positions. For the first time, women are the ones who wield the power to gaze at men in a voyeuristic sense. Women can also substitute themselves with the feminine uke and imagine themselves within a relationship that is more egalitarian than one would have within a heterosexual relationship found in other manga.

Of course, the alternate position that one can take (and this is where I personally stand) is that yaoi actually help combat against homophobic structures because it perpetuates discourse that a relationship other than heterosexual is possible and thinkable. For me, my first encounter and understanding that gay relationships can be beautiful and worth pursuing is through a youtube video of Junjou Romantica, even if the drawings are idealised caricatures of what men are supposed to be. Yaoi occupies a crucial position in mainstream media (especially in Japanese media) that usually delegates homosexual subjects to a lower order; as a mockery, a point of curiosity, a subject of deviance or worse, as abjects (non-subjects) and any representation that presents gay relationships in a liberating manner acts as a counter-discourse towards the prevalent heterosexist structures within our media industry.

And besides, I disagree with Misaki that yaoi does not reflect what gay men look like in reality. In following Baudrilliard, what we are dealing in yaoi manga is not a distorted simulation of reality; it has become a simulacrum whereas the simulation has become the reality that we live in (Baudrillard calls this “the hyperreality). The bishounen phenomenon that is presented in yaoi manga has been reworked and represented in so many various ways that it spills over to reality where a substantial number of Japanese men choose to imitate and represent themselves as the sensitive, good looking, wide-eyed, charming, uke-esque male individuals known as ikemen. （いけめん）What was depicted in the manga, has far-researching consequences such that the simulations and depictions effectively become the real reality that we are living in. Does this change the way the gay landscape has become? You bet it does.

An example of an ikemen.

I’ll have more to say on this, and more academic analyses are to come. To stay updated, do follow me by clicking on the button to the left. D

P.S I didnt know that the Japanese term for fag hag is okoge おこげ which means burnt rice. “Okama” (お釜) is the japanese word for “pot”, and is also slang for effeminate gay men/drag queens/ass. so burnt rice, literally sticking to the pot, translates to the equivalent slang of “fag hag”.

Databases

Posted: December 8, 2010 in Databases

For databases, I focused on ones that dealt primarily with GLBT topics. Academic Search (EBSCO) is particularly useful since you can search in several databases at once, and that includes most of the ones I listed below. I found GenderWatch and LGBT Life especially helpful.
