Like Megan, I appreciate the questioning of what an academic zine even is. I've been thinking more broadly about how to avoid institutional capture. I think the answer is often to not speak in the institution. Speak outside, only, in ways illegible to or unacknowledgeable by the institution. Do not seek approval. Seek relation. Knowledge is already produced in ways more powerful than we know. What would it be to not follow in the zine tradition but attempt to follow in the punk tradition instead?
