- Fanzine as an artifact of expression and authorship: feminine sexuality and self-discoveryPublication . Pisco, Catarina; Pinto, Ana Lúcia Jesus; Madureira, MartaFanzines are artifacts with a D.I.Y (do it yourself ) nature created by an individual or a group of creators with unlimited freedom during the process of its making and for this reason, it is possible unveil the authors due to their formal expression and chosen thematic. Since fanzines permit unlimited liberty to the authors they serve as an instrument of self-discovery to explore how they want to express themselves, be it through comics, illustration, photography, clipping, writing, poetry, or a mix between media. This paper, connected with a master’s work project, aims to explore and understand the contribution of fanzines to the exploration of the author within the context of feminine sexuality and self-discovery.
- entre tu e eu / between you and I: showcasing the potential of fanzines as an artifact of expression and authorship within the theme of feminine sexuality and self-discoveryPublication . Pisco, Catarina; Pinto, Ana Lúcia Jesus; Madureira, MartaThis paper explores and showcases the level of experimentation that fanzines provide to authors through the fanzine collection “entre tu e eu” (“between you and I”) and how fanzines can be transformed into the au- thor’s voice to convey messages in a way no other method can. With a D.I.Y (do it yourself ) approach, fanzines are objects that enable authors to explore them as they wish, without rules or constraints these artifacts provide a me- dium where limits, themes, graphics, and storytelling, can be tested at their full potential without the approval of a second party. As such, “entre tu e eu” is a collection of three fanzines, each working as a way for the author to confide in and to prove the flexibility that fanzines provide within the theme of feminine sexuality and self-discovery given that each fanzine offers a different sub-theme, format, graphism, and color palette. While being very different from each other, the collection conveys that each fanzine is part of the same collection, seizing the opportunity to experiment with the printing method of risograph as one of the key elements between them.
