Feminist and Queer Zine As An Inhabited Border

Abstract

In this article I will reflect on zines and migration, considering zines as artistic objects and spaces where to develop discourses and representations that are found on the edge, on the border, on the margin, just as the materiality of the object presents itself. The epistemological tools developed around the border (ANZALDÚA, 1987; LICONA, 2012) and the place since knowledge is built (FUSS, 1989; HARAWAY, 191, HARDING, 1986; RIBEIRO, 2017) will be crossed with the analysis of the logics of circulation and creation of the zines. The zines that I will show in this article have two common denominators: Portugal is the place where border narratives are received or the place where they emerge, and the zines analyzed challenge the representations of sex, gender and sexuality. This will also place gender studies as a support for everything in the article.
