Club Jade буквально пару часов назад сделал репост весьма интересной статьи - "Yes, There Are Gays in Space: Queer Star Wars Fandom" И, ей богу, не могу с ней не согласиться: миру "Звездных войн" определенно нужно перешагнуть через консервативные каноны сюжетостроения и облика героев, и официально объявленный "перезапуск" проекта с выходом на новый виток развития - отличная возможность это сделать; как в новых фильмах, так и в альтернативных произведениях новообразованной Единой Вселенной. И этот процесс определенно должен быть шире (и умнее), чем редкие подачки ЛГБТ-сообществу в играх Bioware. Данная тема заслуживает куда более качественного освещения и исследования, чем маргинальные слэш-фанфики, и новое поколение ЗВ-авторов (тем более, что Lucasfilm сейчас активно привлекает молодых и незашоренных творцов) вполне могло бы это осуществить.

Вот ведь штука. О том, что в Lords of the Sith Пол Кэмп введет имперского (!) ЛГБТ-персонажа Делиан Морс издательство Del Rey и сам автор заявили задолго до релиза книги. А вот то, что всего через полгода это начинание будет поддержано Чаком Вендигом в Aftermath, все молчали до последнего. И, по здравому разумению, правильно делали - сенсацию тут раздувать не из чего и уже через пару лет ЛГБТ спокойно и окончательно впишутся в западную мейнстрим-культуру. Тем не менее, все равно приятно получить очередное подтверждение того, насколько Lucasfilm придерживается своей стратегии по расовой и гендерной диверсификации персонажей в "Звездных войнах".
Ну и самому автору есть, что сказать по теме: Цитата Entertainment Weekly: I wanted to go back to Sinjir. There was a lot of attention paid to a lesbian character who becomes a part of the Star Wars universe in another book this year, and late in Aftermath, a character sort of flirts with Sinji. It’s not a big part of the plot, it’s just a character beat; but he says, “Actually, no, I’m not interested,” and she’s slightly offended. Then he explains. Was that something that you personally wanted to put in the story? I know you’re a big advocate for diversity in storytelling, and I wonder how that went over, trying to get it into the Star Wars canon.
Chuck Wendig: There was no issue in terms of the Lucasfilm people. They have been very gracious and accommodating for that sort of thing, as they should be. The only question in terms of story stuff was, some of the earlier readers of the book were like, well, it’s kind of a shame, because he and that other character actually have some good chemistry. So in some ways it’s like, well, it’s a shame that they’re not getting together. Not all chemistry has to be sexual, though. Yeah, there’s more to do there in terms of both their friendship and who he is. I don’t think that his sexuality needs to be this giant plot point, but at the same time, it’s part of who he is as a character, and I thought it was an interesting moment. Especially since you don’t necessarily see it as much – not just in Star Wars but just in science-fiction. It’s happening more. You’re starting to see it more, obviously, in the larger narrative properties. Comics are just starting to figure out that that [LGBT men and women] exist in the world, and you can include and incorporate them in stories and speak to those people, and speak to audiences who may not have been spoken to before. Do you find it more powerful that it’s not a plot – that it’s not singled out as an issue in the story? It’s accepted that he just happens to be gay… Well, it’s not even just that he “happens to be.” I don’t want it to seem like a glib choice. I mean, I think it’s fundamental to who he is, in terms of his character, but at the same time, it seems strange to sort of exploit that for plot fodder at the same time. So why is it important to you? Is it just because there might be somebody out there who reads that and sees a part of themselves represented in the galaxy? Yeah, you know, it is increasingly clear to me – and it wasn’t necessarily clear to me when I first started writing, because when you first start writing you’re sort of in your own head, you sort of think that everyone is you. And as I go out and I meet fans, it’s very clear that that’s not at all the case. I used to work at a library, and one of the jobs I had at the library was marketing, and we did outreach for what they referred to as “underserved populations.” To me, it was important that we were going to bring people into the library who maybe didn’t think we had something here for them. Fiction can do the same thing. I think fiction has sort of a value and an opportunity to speak to audiences beyond both the author and beyond what you “expect” that audience to be. And it allows people to see themselves in stories where, before, they hadn’t. I don’t think it’s necessarily the responsibility of storytellers to do that, because everybody’s free to tell the stories they want to tell, but I think there is a value and opportunity in doing so. -------------------- "Невинный блаженец" © D.G.
Ilaan vanished – and took all the sounds and sources of light along. Only Ilaan remained. Down on his knees, an obedient servant of the Force, just like all those months ago. It spoke to him – and he listened, without saying a word. Out of his silence, the sounds and images appeared, filling the space around them, giving the reality its meaning and weight, just like clean white cloth that gradually becomes heavy with blood when it covers the body. |
