ABSTRACT

This paper gives an account of a series of three Zoom zine-making workshops run between March and July 2020 that were themed the political, the personal and the practical. A micro-reading of the zines is offered as data that mirror the aims of the workshops, to queer time by slowing down and creating a pause. The process of zine-making as feminist praxis is examined, and the zines themselves are discussed as data that reflect specific moments in time during the early phases of the pandemic. By inviting everyday feminist academic workers, from PhD candidates to professors to participate in a collective act of zine-making, this paper argues that a type of feminist work exists between academia and activism that subverts institutional definitions of productivity, collaboration and output.

摘要

本文介绍了在 2020 年 3 月至 2020 年 7 月期间举办的一系列三个 Zoom 杂志制作研讨会，主题为政治、个人和实用。提供对杂志的微读作为反映研讨会目标的数据，通过放慢速度和创造暂停来消磨时间。研究了作为女权主义实践的杂志制作过程，并讨论了杂志本身作为反映大流行早期阶段特定时刻的数据。通过邀请日常的女权主义学术工作者，从博士生到教授，参与集体创作杂志的行为，本文认为，学术界和激进主义之间存在着一种女权主义工作，它颠覆了对生产力、合作和产出的制度定义。
