abstract
Fanzines are artifacts with a D.I.Y (do it yourself ) nature created by an
individual or a group of creators with unlimited freedom during the process
of its making and for this reason, it is possible unveil the authors due to their
formal expression and chosen thematic. Since fanzines permit unlimited
liberty to the authors they serve as an instrument of self-discovery to explore how they want to express themselves, be it through comics, illustration,
photography, clipping, writing, poetry, or a mix between media.
This paper, connected with a master’s work project, aims to explore
and understand the contribution of fanzines to the exploration of the author
within the context of feminine sexuality and self-discovery.
