Abstract

Self-published zines have been celebrated by some feminist communication scholars for offering an emancipatory outlet for women and queer people. But under the logics of late capitalism, zines cannot reach truly transgressive potentials. This study situates zinester politics within a framework of communicative capitalism: the current era of command individuality and “woke” representational politics. I also historicize zines’ proliferation through punk, do-it-yourself (DIY), and White, feminist communities. Using critical discourse analysis as my analytical approach, I illustrate the interpellation of capitalist ideology in online questionnaires completed by 11 queer, White, feminist zinesters from Chicago. By harnessing a DIY production model, respondents said they resisted mass-mediated expectations of normative sexuality and gender identity, but zinesters also reflect and reify the systems they attempt to transcend.

“到目前为止，我的杂志不像我制作的其他作品那样政治化”:《酷儿女权主义杂志中的交流资本主义》

一些女权主义传播学者称赞自己出版的杂志为女性和酷儿群体提供了一个解放的出口。但在晚期资本主义的逻辑下，杂志无法达到真正的越界潜力。本研究将zinester政治置于交流资本主义的框架中:当前的命令个性和“觉醒”的代表性政治时代。我还将杂志在朋克、DIY (do-it-yourself, DIY)和白人女权主义社区的扩散历史化。我使用批判性话语分析作为我的分析方法，通过11位来自芝加哥的酷儿、白人、女权主义者完成的在线问卷来说明对资本主义意识形态的质询。通过利用DIY制作模式，受访者表示他们抵制了大众媒介对规范性性行为和性别认同的期望，但ziners也反映并具体化了他们试图超越的系统。

期刊介绍： CCC provides an international forum for critical research in communication, media, and cultural studies. We welcome high-quality research and analyses that place questions of power, inequality, and justice at the center of empirical and theoretical inquiry. CCC seeks to bring a diversity of critical approaches (political economy, feminist analysis, critical race theory, postcolonial critique, cultural studies, queer theory) to bear on the role of communication, media, and culture in power dynamics on a global scale. CCC is especially interested in critical scholarship that engages with emerging lines of inquiry across the humanities and social sciences. We seek to explore the place of mediated communication in current topics of theorization and cross-disciplinary research (including affect, branding, posthumanism, labor, temporality, ordinariness, and networked everyday life, to name just a few examples). In the coming years, we anticipate publishing special issues on these themes.
