This article studies the role of the material in four Prague-based zines. The analysis is theoretically embedded in the model of the discursive-material knot, which is a non-hierarchical articulation of the discursive and the material, and it is contextualized by a reflection on post-digital culture, which allows revalidating the role of the material in zine production and distribution more. The case study combines the analysis of personal interviews and zine content with an ethnography of the production and distribution processes, including zine fairs. This analysis shows how the alternative media discourse, with its focus on particular aesthetics and amateurism, intersects with networks of bodies, spaces, paper and related objects, many different machines and scarce capitals. This allows arguing that the material is omnipresent in zine production and distribution, also in intermaterial and transmaterial ways, but also that zines then use the particularity of this material component to signify their cultural specificity.

超越 Zines 的意义：关于物质在四个布拉格 Zine 组合中的作用的案例研究

本文研究了该材料在四种布拉格杂志中的作用。该分析在理论上嵌入到话语材料结的模型中，它是话语和材料的非等级表达，并且通过对后数字文化的反思而被语境化，这允许重新验证材料的作用在锌的生产和分销中较多。案例研究将个人访谈和杂志内容的分析与生产和发行过程的民族志结合起来，包括杂志博览会。这一分析显示了另类媒体话语，专注于特定的美学和业余主义，如何与身体、空间、纸张和相关物体、许多不同的机器和稀缺资本的网络相交。
