More Than Paper Islands: The Pandemic Circuitry of Quaranzines

Jason Luther

Abstract

“What is a zine? My definition: For me a zine is not just a self-made and self-published booklet but it is also situated within DIY culture. This means it is non-profit, non-commercial, low-budget, and non-competitive. Topics and style can vary but it’s important that zines remain accessible … (everyone can afford them) and to writers (everyone can make them). Zines don’t exist as little paper islands but they are connected and blossom within a mutually supportive zine community.” —Nina, Scissors & Chainsaws #2
