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.
