This paper is an attempt at a biopolitical interpretation of fan gatekeeping as a form of immunization – a defense mechanism that is supposed to protect the group and its identity against real or imaginary threats brought about by new fans. The discussion is based on an underresearched case of gatekeeping in the transformative fandom–the highly feminized fanfiction community in particular. The immunization tactics are exemplified by the reaction of the LiveJournal Star Trek community to the 2009 reboot of the franchise and the influx of new fans brought by the movie. The author provides a short description of the emergence of the Star Trek fandom, which was caused by gatekeeping in the first place, and analyzes the discursive practices of the more experienced fans and their at times impossible expectations, which were weaponized against the novices. The author concludes that the shift in the gatekeeping paradigm (from allowing/disallowing publication to the control of population) is a result of the popularization of Web 2.0.

Niniejszy tekst stanowi propozycję biopolitycznej interpretacji fanowskiego gatekeepingu jako formy immunizacji, która ma na celu obronę tożsamości grupy przed prawdziwymi bądź wyimaginowanymi zagrożeniami niesionymi przez nowych fanów. Praktyka zostaje omówiona na przykładzie środowiska w rozważaniach nad gatekeepingiem zazwyczaj ignorowanego – fandomu transformującego (transformative fandom), a szczególnie najsilniej sfeminizowanego środowiska twórczyń i czytelniczek fanfikcji. Mechanizmy immunizacyjne omówione zostają na przykładzie reakcji zgromadzonego na platformie LiveJournal fandomu Star Treka w 2009 roku, kiedy to po premierze rebootu franczyzy doszło do masowego napływu nowych fanek. W artykule przywołana jest historia fandomu Star Treka jako wyłonionego w wyniku gatekeepingu oraz przeanalizowana zostaje działalność dyskursywna fanek dłużej znajdujących się w środowisku, które stawiały nowicjuszkom wymagania niekiedy niemożliwe do zrealizowania. W końcowej części tekstu zmiana paradygmatu gatekeepingu (od dopuszczania bądź odmawiania publikacji do kontroli populacji fandomu) zostaje powiązana z rozpowszechnieniem technologii Web 2.0, która umożliwiła publikację wszystkim użytkownikom.

AMAZONS AS ROLE MODELS?

99%
EN
It is a moot point whether the Greeks would have developed myths about Amazons even if they had never heard about female warriors. Be that as it may, their mythical Amazons fulfill several ideological functions. The most important of those is probably to represent an unnatural menace which has been successfully defeated by the Greeks. However, there is no denying that from the late sixth century onwards the Greek depiction of Amazons, on vases or in writing, has often (but not always) been influenced by their knowledge of Sarmatian mounted archeresses, at least some of whom were almost certainly also warriors. Yet it is naive to say that the Greeks were right all the time, that Amazons did exist and that they had a wonderful time killing enemies and living a life characterised by companionship, fulfilled sexuality and gender equalitiy. The Amazons constructed by Adrienne Mayor resemble the heroines of Klingon legend told by Klingons in the Star Trek spin offs.

The article shows on the examples of two last TV series from this universe the world created in them, its rules and the problem with their application when confronted with new phenomena, such as the question of the humanity of a hologram or a person liberated from a Borg collective. Comparing Voyager and Enterprise TV series with each other, the author of the article shows a huge role of utopia in creating an attractive vision of the future for the fans of Star Trek, and what happens when this utopia is being questioned in the Enterprise series.
