Doksanská, Markéta ; Zemánek, Marek (advisor) ; Mazaná, Vladislava (referee)
This thesis aims to explore homoerotic tendencies in the environment of Korean popular music fandom. The research will mainly focus on Czech and Slovakian K-pop fans and the connection between the homoerotic phenomenon and other similar genres (such as yaoi and slash) will also be discussed. This paper emphasizes the importance of the Top/Bottom hierarchical dichotomy presented in gay relationship imagined and produced by young women. We will also look at what we call a heteronormative projection and what role this issue plays in our topic. The thesis is divided in two sections - the first section examines the fandom from the historical point before stepping into a more detailed view of fan communities of K-pop, slash and yaoi on the international scale; the second part has been dedicated to personal online research in the environment of K-pop fandom in Czech Republic and Slovakia. The respondents consist of gay fanfiction writers and readers or Role-players of virtual gay characters. This research has been conducted within two levels and therefore contains qualitative results, as well as data collected from the quantitative questionnaire. A glossary explaining unfamiliar terminology has been added to the end of the contents.
