[Commlist] New Issue: Forum Historiae 1/2020

/ New Issue: Forum Historiae 1/2020 – Fanzines in Historical and 
Interdisciplinary Perspective

/ The issue presents a discussion about fanzines in the specific 
historical context of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), where zines have 
not yet been a subject of focused scholarly research. Alternative 
subculture scenes have played a significant role in the transformation 
of CEE societies in past four decades, and their impact can be seen in 
the political and cultural debates of societies at large. Alternative 
narratives that were presented on the pages of fanzines represent an 
important source for the social history studies of the late socialism 
and post-socialism periods in Czechoslovakia and its successor states, 
the Czech and Slovak Republics.

The authors of the nine articles propose various interdisciplinary 
approaches to fanzine studies and analyses (media studies, political 
science, human geography, literary history, cultural studies and 
history) and demonstrate how different methodologies can contribute to 
our knowledge of independent publishing and alternative cultures in general.
