ABSTRACT

What is a zine? This article—itself a zine—is a meta-analysis of the history of the zine, its evolution, and its ability as a medium to create overlap between social change and artistic and visual production. Through essays, interviews, and illustrations, this article explores zine construction and content, and the legacies of the zine movement and its continuing influence on counterculture and social change. Lastly, this article delves into the continuing creation, circulation and relevance of the zine in the internet age of digitization and social media, and how the crossover in culture between the digital zine and the paper zine translates to both zine creators and their audiences.
