Transgression and Taboo: The Field of Fan Fiction

    Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articleResearchpeer-review

    Abstract

    This essay draws upon Georges Bataille’s notions of transgression and taboo as co-dependently involved in a play of differences as a framework for discussing agents in the field of fan fiction. More particularly, I outline the way in which fans and authors, or producers of texts, have been conceptualised in ways that recall transgression and taboo.
