The Materiality of Zines and Post-Digital Memory Not Out of Date, but Out of Time: The Materiality of Zines and Post-digital Memory Miloš Hroch Abstract HROCH, Miloš: Not Out of Date, but Out of Time: The Materiality of Zines and Post-digital Memory. The importance of zines – as documents of history and contemporary media – has recognisably increa- sed in the past decade, and not only media scholars but also historians are paying closer attention to this type of alternative media. We have witnessed both the building of zine archives – digital and physical – and zines being acknowledged as historical resources. Traditionally, zines have been studied from the discursive perspective of subcultures, identities, fan objects and musical genres; therefore, the material component has been overlooked or taken as a matter of course. But with the post-digital situation, the material is more visible and reminds us of the intertwined relationship of the discursive and the mate- rial. This paper argues for the possible contribution of media theory to historical research and calls for a deeper understanding of the materiality of zines and the material networks surrounding them as well as the research environment for historians.

The digital immateriality only highlights the long-overlooked aspects of zines and, paradoxically, the material is more visible than ever. This paper calls for a deeper analysis, not only of zine content and zines as objects, but also of the- material networks surrounding them. With the building of physical zine archives (or archives of independent culture) there is a whole set of practical and ethi- cal questions concerning how to archive this history without stretching out the- material aspect of it. Moreover, the materiality of zines is also important for con temporary production and includes a history which is remediated only in the sim plest form of using this (at first sight) “anachronistic” media form.

Miloš Hroch: Not Out of Date, but Out of Time: The Materiality of Zines and Post-digital Memory 19 This theoretical study presents a possible contribution of media theory and media- materialism for historical research on reflecting the constructing of present-day memory and the irreducible role of the materiality of historical sources. An ar gument is made for better understanding and analytical exploration of material which is not a passive entity in the process – but at the same time, there is a need to be cautious so as not to set aside the discursive. It is believed that justice can be done to the material by extending current and often used subcultural approaches- which would reveal new layers of this alternative media production. But before outlining this discursive-material theoretical model and sketching the possibi lities of post-digital memory for (zine) historians, there must be an explanation of the context of the post-digital, and useful approaches in zine research with Printreferences in the to Age the materialof Post-digital need to be contextualized. - Throughout the 1980s, we can see an absolute fascinationNeuromancer with virtual space, digi tal technologies and immateriality in popular culture.

  • The City Anthology: Definition of a Type
    Marven, L 2020 The City Anthology: Definition of a Type. Modern Languages Open, 2020(1): 52 pp. 1–30. DOI: https://doi.org/10.3828/mlo.v0i0.279 ARTICLE The City Anthology: Definition of a Type Lyn Marven University of Liverpool, GB [email protected] This article uses a corpus of over one hundred and fifty Berlin literary anthologies from 1885 to the present to set out the concept of a ‘city anthology’. The city anthology encompasses writing from as well as about the city, and defines itself through a broad sense of connection to the city rather than thematic subject matter as such. This article uses the example of Berlin to set out the unique traits of the city anthology form: the affective connection between authors, editors, readers, texts and the city; diversity of contributors and literary content; and a tendency towards reportage. It further uses the corpus to identify four key types of city anthology – survey, snapshot, retrospective and memory anthology – and to argue for a functional rather than formal definition of the anthology. Finally, Berlin anthologies challenge precepts of that city’s literary history in two key ways: in mapping different historical trajectories across the nineteenth to twenty-first centuries, and in particular countering the focus on the much better known city novel. The often-overlooked city anthology thus constitutes a specific form of city literature as well as anthology. As a literary manifestation – not just a representation – of the city, city anthologies inhabit a border space between literary geographies and urban imaginaries with the potential to open up an affective dimension in urban studies.

Lucy Katherine Nicholas BA (Hons) Politics and Society with Combined Studies, University of Gloucestershire Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts, Griffith University. Date of Submission: September 2005 Abstract This thesis describes and analyses the politics of the Australian DIY anarcha-punk scene and the ethos of the culture’s participants. Eschewing the orthodox sub-cultural approach which situates “punk” within a structuralist hegemony / resistance paradigm, the thesis uses participant observation and textual analysis techniques to understand the role played by zines (hand made publications) in fostering the intellectual and ethical capacities needed to participate in the Australian DIY anarcha-punk scene. The zines, in their deviation from classical anarchism, often invoke concepts of power and “the political” analogous with those of poststructuralist theory, yet DIY anarchist politics also diverge from poststructuralism. I therefore address DIY anarchist politics by questioning the significance of these inconsistencies with Theory. In doing so I am led to suggest that the zines may be more usefully approached as elements in the ethico- political practice of DIY anarchism, which nonetheless draws on the “conceptual vocabulary” of much poststructuralism, as well as other theoretical approaches.

  • Film Adaptation As the Interface Between Creative Translation and Cultural Transformation
    The Journal of Specialised Translation Issue 29 – January 2018 Film adaptation as the interface between creative translation and cultural transformation: The case of Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby Katerina Perdikaki, University of Surrey ABSTRACT Adaptation is prominent in many facets of the creative industries, such as the performing arts (e.g. theatre, opera) and various forms of media (e.g. film, television, radio, video games). As such, adaptation can be regarded as the creative translation of a narrative from one medium or mode to another. This paper focuses on film adaptation and examines its role in cultural production and dissemination within the broader polysystem (Even-Zohar 1978a). Adaptation has been viewed as a process which can shed light on meaningful questions on a social, cultural and ideological level (cf. Casetti 2004; Corrigan 2014; Venuti 2007). Nevertheless, an integrated framework for the systematic analysis of adaptations seems to have remained under-researched. The paper puts forward a model for adaptation analysis which highlights the factors that condition adaptation as a process and as a product. In this way, adaptation is studied as a system monitored by economic, creative and social agendas which nevertheless transforms the communicating vessels of the literary system and the film industry. To illustrate this, the paper discusses how the two systems and various creative and socioeconomic considerations interlace in the latest film adaptation of The Great Gatsby (Luhrmann 2013). It concludes on the benefits of a holistic approach to adaptation. KEYWORDS Film adaptation, translation, polysystem, paratexts, creative industries, The Great Gatsby. 1. Introduction Adaptations play a crucial part in the contemporary creative industries.

  • Re-Contextualization and Representation of Folk Art in Advertising
    Re-contextualization and Representation of Folk Art in Advertising Dr. Manash Pratim Goswami Associate Professor, Dept. of Media and Communication, Central University of Tamil Nadu ([email protected]) Dr. Soubhagya Ranjan Padhi Professor, Dept. of Sociology & Social Anthropology, Indira Gandhi National Tribal University ([email protected]) Abstract: Although art and advertising are ideologically distant apart, yet they share a close and entwined relationship. Art imitates life and advertising imitates art to persuade. Advertising connects diverse and disconnected pieces of art to create semantic meaning in a message. The magic of an image with dots and lines can create powerful impact in an advertising message with a potential to influence people. The idea of appropriation of art or elements of art have been in practice for a long time. Advertising campaigns often re-contextualise popular imageries to influence people. The re- contextualization and representation of art, culture, motifs, patterns and designs of painting often help communicating advertising message effectively and lucidly. The current study focuses on investigating the appropriation of cultural characteristics and elements of folk-art and paintings to re-contextualise the creative expression of artists to communicate advertising messages. The study makes a qualitative analysis of ‘GE Works’- the advertising campaign of General Electric (GE) launched a decade ago, which recontextualised and represented four distinct and colourful Indian folk-art forms. Keywords: Appropriation, Recontextualization, Representation, Folk-art and Painting, Advertising. Introduction Art and advertising, although separated by ideological notions, share a close and intertwined relationship. Art is a commentary presented to be appreciated for its beauty or emotional power (Oxford University Press, n.d.) and advertising persuades, influences and convinces the individual for something.

  • Papers of Surrealism, Issue 8, Spring 2010 1
    © Lizzie Thynne, 2010 Indirect Action: Politics and the Subversion of Identity in Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore’s Resistance to the Occupation of Jersey Lizzie Thynne Abstract This article explores how Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore translated the strategies of their artistic practice and pre-war involvement with the Surrealists and revolutionary politics into an ingenious counter-propaganda campaign against the German Occupation. Unlike some of their contemporaries such as Tristan Tzara and Louis Aragon who embraced Communist orthodoxy, the women refused to relinquish the radical relativism of their approach to gender, meaning and identity in resisting totalitarianism. Their campaign built on Cahun’s theorization of the concept of ‘indirect action’ in her 1934 essay, Place your Bets (Les paris sont ouvert), which defended surrealism in opposition to both the instrumentalization of art and myths of transcendence. An examination of Cahun’s post-war letters and the extant leaflets the women distributed in Jersey reveal how they appropriated and inverted Nazi discourse to promote defeatism through carnivalesque montage, black humour and the ludic voice of their adopted persona, the ‘Soldier without a Name.’ It is far from my intention to reproach those who left France at the time of the Occupation. But one must point out that Surrealism was entirely absent from the preoccupations of those who remained because it was no help whatsoever on an emotional or practical level in their struggles against the Nazis.1 Former dadaist and surrealist and close collaborator of André Breton, Tristan Tzara thus dismisses the idea that surrealism had any value in opposing Nazi domination.

  • ('Any Man Is All Men'): Jorge Luis Borges, WB Yeats and Eternal Return
    ‘Cualquier hombre es todos los hombres’ (‘any man is all men’): Jorge Luis Borges, W. B. Yeats and Eternal Return Grace Gaynor University of Liverpool Abstract. This paper considers the presence of W. B. Yeats in the work of Jorge Luis Borges. It focuses particularly on Borges’s use of Yeats’s poetry as epigraphs to two of his short stories, ‘Tema del traidor y del héroe’ (‘Theme of the Traitor and the Hero’) and ‘Biografía de Tadeo Isidoro Cruz (1829–1874)’ (‘A Biography of Tadeo Isidoro Cruz (1829–1874)’). An epigraph presents a unique way of one writer making reference to another, particularly within the broader context of Borges’s propensity to saturate his work with allusions and references to other writers. A consideration of these epigraphs as rewritings of Yeats by Borges is supported by paratextual theory, and further explores ideas of recontextualisation, appropriation, and attributing authorship. Finally, this paper also discusses Borges’s references to Yeats in the context of eternal return, examining the ways in which Borges employs a selective principle in his choice of Yeats. * * * * * From Homer to Shakespeare, Jorge Luis Borges densely punctuates his work with vast and various references to other writers.1 From this mass of writers, the focus of this article is W. B. Yeats, and how the ways in which Borges makes reference to Yeats can be considered rewritings. There is much to be explored in the substance of Yeats’s writing itself and how its themes and preoccupations might be identified as influences on Borges’s writing. However, for the purposes of this article, I will be focusing on Borges’s use of Yeats’s poetry as epigraphs for two of his short stories: ‘Tema del traidor y del héroe’ (‘Theme of the Traitor and the Hero’)2 and ‘Biografía de Tadeo Isidoro Cruz (1829–1874)’ (‘A Biography of Tadeo Isidoro Cruz (1829–1874)’),3 which appeared in Borges’s collections, 1 For the quotation cited in the title of this article, see Jorge Luis Borges, ‘La forma de la espada’, in Obras Completas (Buenos Aires: Emecé Editores, 1974), pp.
