The feminist zine community is not located in place but it geographically dispersed, constituting a connected flow of communicative practices, spaces, texts, technologies, bodies, and utterances.
I conducted a content analysis of the zines I collected by using techniques of thematic analysis (Patton, 1990). I read and reread each of the zines’ contents. I annotated the prose, cartoons, poetry, and narratives in the zines by noting key words that signaled topics and assigning codes and subcodes that were later collapsed to form categories.
“Do you think Cal Bodian's over there? Do you think he'll sign my zine?” “♪♪ Bum, bada-dum. ♪♪ My P.I. Undercover fanzine. I've done everything myself. I just took a guess about the chest hair.”
