This Summer 2024, I am teaching English 3GF3: Topics in Popular Genres with a focus on zines and zine-making. This course approaches the zine as a literary cultural genre with its own range of forms and methods, which works to provide commentary on systems of power such as capitalism, colonialism, transnationalism, white supremacy, etcetera. Following cultural studies scholars as well as feminist zine-makers, it offers a study of cultural theory, poetry, narrative, visual culture, culture jamming, collage, archival practices, and more.
Syllabus forthcoming.
