Looking Under
Beds: Researching Punk Fanzines in Britain.
This short paper will consider the methodology used to
research my forthcoming book, Zerox Machine: Punk and Post-Punk
Fanzines in Britain, 1976-1998. It will discuss how the book was conceived,
how the subject was framed, and the methods used to gather and utilise
materials. The book looked to recover sources from practitioners, so often
roamed far beyond the usual academic resources. Over time, a
collaborative element was introduced to construct a history 'from below'.

Czech and Slovak Punk and Hardcore
fanzines and representations of subcultural identities from the middle of 1980s
until present.
The fanzine production in the Czech and Slovak
Republics has been hitherto more or less uncharted. We have succeeded in
mapping the extensive fanzine production from the 1980s until the present, with
a predominant focus on subcultural / music-oriented titles. I will present the
development of punk and hardcore fanzine scene in Czechoslovakia, Czech and
Slovak republic. Through the different indicators I will propose the
interpretation of dominant narratives and praxes of being involved to the punk
or hardcore scene, which were written down on the pages of local fanzines. This
will be contextualized also in the different political and technological
environment of contemporary history of the region.

Zines and Archives - Tales from the
Archive of Youth Cultures and beyond
The Archiv der Jugendkulturen is a memory of the scenes, from science
fiction, gothic and graffiti to punk, riot grrrl and techno. Our archive a
non-profit-organisation in Berlin that has been collecting documents and
ephemera of youth-, pop-, and subcultural scenes since 1997. State institutions
barely collect these histories of resistance which makes self-organized
archives like ours unique. We are convinced that these scenes are an important
part of cultural and social history and that their relics should be permanently
preserved. Over the years we have become an important place for people from
youth and subcultures as well as activists, researchers, academics, historians
and political educators and the interest for our unique collection continues to
grow.
