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.

В течение суток наткнулся на два любопытных материала все о той же проблеме репрезентации.
Во-первых, ответ на критику "Пробуждения Силы" за его "бессмысленную диверсификацию": Цитата White Male Default puts its victims in a stasis where they expect everything to be white or male or (preferably) both, and anything that does not fall into this very specific paradigm suddenly needs a reason to exist. Subscribers of the WMD usually believe white men make up the vast majority of any world’s population, with the exception of dystopias. Put too many women in the background of a movie, or a PoC in a role that does not conform to the WMD’s preconceived notions, and the entire medium goes into anaphylactic shock. If you live within a Western culture, chances are you’re constantly surrounded by the White Male Default, and if you haven’t been forced to look closely at it before it’s probably still invisible to you. The people who exist despite the White Male Default are forced into complacency by a media which constantly others them. Yeah, sure, they’ll enjoy some products of the WMD, maybe even obsess over them, but they’ll do so with the subtle acknowledgment that they’re always on the verge of being ejected from the art with which they engage. Settling with the wrong skin tone in the ears of your hobbit Halloween costume is akin to realizing your second-class citizenship in a fictional world. There’s already plenty of great writing and scholarly studies which explain the effect media representation has on children, so nothing I say here will be groundbreaking, but just know this: it matters. When kids—black, brown, Asian, or white—play Avengers on the playground and they all argue over who gets to be the African prince, it matters. When the streets get flooded this Halloween with Reys and Wonder Women and Katniss Everdeens, it matters. Even something as simple as populating a movie’s extras with close attention to the proportions of real America does wonders in breaking down the White Male Default, by imprinting images of humanity’s multitudinous shades, shapes, and sizes in the audience’s sub-consciousness. In this aspect (as Red Letter Media’s review extensively points out—from 01:27:29 on) Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a triumph in diversity and representation, and if the promotional material for Rogue One is any indication, this is the permanent direction of that galaxy far far away. Star Wars isn’t even a great innovator in this regard; many studios are tailor-making their marquee franchises to appeal to as wide an audience as possible, and part of that means acknowledging large swaths of people who have been ignored or misrepresented. It’s been said before, but Star Wars, much like the society it was generated from, no longer stands to benefit from the WMD. There’s a new audience of young people whose approval Star Wars needs if it wants to stay profitable ten years from now, and with that new audience comes a new default. Technology and the general trajectory of progress has led to young people being more aware than ever of the world around them. Potential audiences who were once outsiders now have the tools and information to demand representation from the companies that want their business, and the kids who currently spend their afternoons on Tumblr and watching Stephen Universe are having their concept of the White Male Default slowly annihilated. [...] On a certain level, I understand the RLM guys. When the days of a privilege you’ve had your entire life (the White Male Default) are numbered, it’s easy to get cynical. After all, it’s not like this happened out of the goodwill and generous heart of a boardroom in Burbank. The Hollywood executives have essentially been strong-armed into acknowledging women and minorities because of rapidly increasing profit margins. That’s why it’s no longer the exception to have more than one skin tone on a release poster, or more than one woman in the main cast; it’s all a long con. But where RLM might see a con, I see an exchange, one that benefits everybody. Since representation is just more room for new perspectives, the storytelling possibilities are unlimited. Representation is still a type of risk, but one that pays off exponentially. When our stories no longer have to justify diversity, when they can finally just be diverse, and every child will have a better idea of the world they live in just by watching Star Wars, then we can say with some certainty that the chaotic bundle of art and profit called “the movie business” has worked. И второй материал: неожиданно эмоциональная реакция на "Люка Кейджа", довольно точно передающая ощущение "выключенности", которое испытывают многие не-SWM при контакте с современной массовой культурой: -------------------- "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. |
