“…Zines more than happen to record alternative viewpoints, they are a vehicle for differing social perspectives (Gomez, 2007). Their democratic manufacture and self-publishing distribution channels circumvent the influence of editorial control and censorship, allowing zines to venture into the opinionated and the personal (Cogan, 2007;Freedman, 2009;Herrada, 1995;Thompson, 2007). Piepmeier (2008) found that the materiality of zines and their networked circulation embodies communities and confers formal definition-creating what Whitney (2006) labeled "visible subcultures" (p. 27).…”

“…Art zines offer a similar expressive medium as the Dada and Surrealist periodicals, with the same power of influence on letterforms and graphic design (Thomas, 2009). Zines provide a tangible manifestation of the "punk" aesthetic (Cogan, 2007;Thomas, 2009). Frequently, zines are created by trained artists and writers (Thomas, 2009).…”

“…For specific examples, Brett (2010) commented on zines in early science fiction fandom. Cogan (2007) provided an in-depth analysis of the niche sub-genre of sports zines, and Finnell (2013) described how zines popularize and communicate skateboard culture. Fanzines give researchers personalized audience perspectives on popular culture.…”

RDA and the Description of Zines: Metadata Needs for Alternative Publications

Comparison of zine user needs, known problems in zine description, and established best practices to Resource Description and Access (RDA) reveals RDA's applicability for describing alternative publications in library and nonlibrary contexts. Findings are that RDA is appropriate for describing alternative publications, though expansion and improvement is warranted in documenting makers, addressing intellectual property, approaching privacy concerns, facilitating subject and genre analysis, undertaking object cataloging, applying companion standards and external vocabularies, and using RDA where boundaries between work, expression, and manifestation are blurred. Experiments in the MARC and ZineCore formats suggest that a Linked Data model would aid RDA implementation.

“…Zines are never sold for more than a few dollars and zine producers often give their publications away or trade them for other zines. Zines and their communities of writers and readers are a popular topic of study in many academic fields, including cultural studies (Cogan ; Duncombe ), women's studies (Harris ; Piepmeier ), literacy studies (Knobel and Lankshear ), composition (Farmer ), autobiography studies (Poletti ; Sinor ), and visual communication (Triggs ). From a sociolinguistic perspective, Sutton () has drawn on Grice's Maxims to investigate the genre characteristics of zines, and Androutsopoulos () examined transgressive spelling practices in German zines and how zine producers manipulate the graphic resources available to them to project identities and shape relationships with their readers.…”

Stancetaking and the joint construction of zine producer identities in a research interview

This article examines the construction of zine producer identities (self and other) during a research interview. Zines are self-published texts that circulate in mainly underground communities. In this study, I draw on dialogic understandings of the notion of 'stance' to show how a zine producer accomplishes a situated identity performance in the interview that also functions as an interdiscursive move in a larger conversation about the role Do-It-Yourself (DIY) ethics should play in zine communities. Specifically, I show how this speaker displays stances in relation to recognizable social types within zine communities but also the canonical stances associated with these social types. I unpack the features that work in support of this stancetaking, including discourse markers, constructed dialogue, referring terms, and prosodic cues. The analysis also foregrounds how the interviewer's turns contributed to these emergent stance displays, which furthers our understanding of the dynamic social context of the research interview.

If a Tree Falls in the Forest: The Role of Community Formation and the Power of the Individual in Zine Making Participation

Zine making is a complex practice, rich in parallel traditions and historical engagement in a number of vocal creative and social communities. Drawing on data from thirty-two depth interviews conducted in Australia, Europe and the United States, this study was concerned with the question of whether the processes of identification and articulation into a community were critical to the decision by an individual to make zines and to what extent does the community influence these individuals as they engage in zine making practice? We found that although personal reasons for zine making were explicitly described by a number of respondents, there were few examples where altruistic community engagement was explicitly cited. There was also significant porosity between any discussion of community and the role that person played or sought from it.
