ZINES - An international journal on amateur and DIY media
Launch : Issue #1 - April 2020
Call for papers
- ZINES is an international peer journal dedicated to studies of amateur
and do-it-yourself media of any kind, from fanzines to webzines,
perzines to science zines, artzines to poezines, etc.
- ZINES is multi-disciplinary and opened to all scientific disciplines,
from social sciences to medical sciences, art and design, media studies,
etc. The first aim of the journal is to study the involvement of
amateurs in the production of mediascapes, from printing form to
cybermedia. It also addresses the impact of zine making for personal or
collective sociabilization, especially in closed environments such as
carceral or medical centres. The second aim is to examine the production
of new form of communication by amateurs leading to the publication of
media with a strong DIY ethos, including scholars who invent new forms
of dissemination of scientific knowledge.
- ZINES accepts original contribution from academics, zine librarians
and non-academic zinesters who want to share personal experiences or
react to published papers. Articles published in ZINES are peer reviewed
by scholars. The ZINES reviewers are assigned to articles based on their
academic interests and scholarly expertise.
- ZINES accepts the following types of contributions: articles, book
reviews, thematic reviews of zines, in-depth interview with zinesters.
We also welcome thematic issue proposal or zine conference proceedings.
We accept papers in English, French and Spanish. However, French and
Spanish papers must include an extensive abstract (2 pages) in English
presenting methods, main results and discussion.
Because zines are intimately anchored in personal bricolage, ZINES also
encourages papers submitted in unconventional format (e.g. collages,
paste-up or other innovative editing, etc.) providing that every paper
submitted to ZINES will be evaluate by reviewers and must fit in the
final printed format (21*21 cm).
Full paper submission: 1st December 2019.
