Centre for Book Cultures and Publishing Seminar: \u2018Sniffin\u2019 Glue and Ripped & Torn: Two cases studies as to why fanzines matter\u2019, Professor Matthew Worley (History)<\/strong><\/p>\n

This online research seminar will focus on <\/span>Sniffin\u2019 Glue<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>Ripped & Torn,\u00a0<\/i>two of the most influential fanzines to emerge through British punk in 1976-77. The objective is to use case studies to demonstrate the possibilities and limitations of fanzines as a cultural form, exploring the motivation that inspired their creation and their means of production. Attention will be given to the content of the fanzines, revealing how they provided a space for engagement, a mechanism for agency, and a medium to construct cultural meaning. From this, the benefit to the historian should be clear as semi-private\/semi-public ideas in the process of becoming offer us insight into cultural histories formulating \u2018from below\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n
