Abstract(s)
This 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.
