ABSTRACT
My paper is about some of the possible relations that can be forged among the three terms in the title of my talk, that is, feminism, psychoanalysis, and the study of popular culture. I am going to be proposing at least one way those terms might productively be brought together by describing my involvement in, and study of, a female fandom, called “slash” fandom, that is an intriguing spin-off of the large and lively Star Trek fandom.
