 RESEARCH

What kinds of research have you done?

-- Primary: Accounts from queer people who made zines and the zines that they made.

-- Secondary: Articles about queer history and zines

-- What is your method/approach to your story? I will be finding zines at libraries that have them and people writing about what it was like at the time and using those.

-- Who do you want to read your research paper? Queer people and people who know a bit about queer history and would like to learn more.

Research Interests:

I'm curious about how queer people used and use zines, how they were distributed, and how they navigated criminalization when it was illegal.

I think they fit into the idea of hidden histories because: queer people were a lot less visible during the 1970s and 80s, and zines were relatively hidden, because they're not public.

Precedents: What has influenced my interest in this question?

Being queer myself, as well as being interested in how people make queer friends when it's dangerous to be out and how distribution of zines works.

Research Methods

I used X & Y archives:

-- Papercut Zine Library

-- QZAP Zine Archive

These archives tended to have X & Y materials:

-- Zines

Research Question

How did queer people in the mid-late 1900s share information using zines?

STORIES:

I could use my current research to tell the story like this:

I could talk about how zines and the easy ability to share information have shaped queer culture

I could use my current research to tell the story like this:

I could talk about how the ability to have very local and interconnected communities helps people find a sense of belonging

I could use my current research to tell the story like this:

I could talk about how zines can help marginalized people connect when it's dangerous to be open

Writing Plan (What am I doing next)

I need to do more research into actual zines, rather than just reading articles

I want people to take away more knowledge about how zines work and how they have shaped the queer community

I'm going to present my research in a research paper

EXAMPLES OF THE FORM THAT I LIKE AND WANT TO EMULATE:

1) If my overall concept is too broad or too narrow, and if it should be adjusted

2) What should I focus on in my research paper?

3) Are there any other topics or parts to this topic that I should cover?

Jennings, T. (1988, September). HOMOCORE Issue #1. Retrieved January 27, 2025, from https://www.sensitiveresearch.com/Archive/HOMOCORE/HTML/1/1.html 

The first issue of HOMOCORE, written by Tom Jennings. This issue introduces the series and sets the tone for the rest of the series. It only has one letter, seeing as it wasn't announced beforehand. It also has a list of other good zines, some news, and a couple articles written by various people.

Jones, G. (1985). J.D.s Issue #1. https://web.archive.org/web/20110104183520/http://www.qzap.org/v6/index.php?option=com_g2bridge&view=gallery&Itemid=41&g2_itemId=1333 

The first issue of J.D.s, a major inspiration for the Queercore movement and for the HOMOCORE zine. This is pretty similar to HOMOCORE, but a bit more explicit.

This is an interview with Margaret Galvan in which she talks about zines in the queer community. She focuses on Queer Zine Explosion, a series of zines by Larry-Bob Roberts which reviewed queer zines.

The full version of my annotated bibliography is on the back of the zine when unfolded.

Abstract

Zines were very common in the queer community in the late 20th century. This paper looks at why zines were used so widely in queer communities, especially before the broader usage of the internet. It looks at two particularly popular magazine-style zines, HOMOCORE and J.D.s, both of which ran from the late 1980s to the early 1990s. It looks at letters from HOMOCORE to find examples of the extreme isolation experienced by queer people at the time and infighting in the queer community. The three main reasons found for zines being so popular are that: zines are easy to produce, they can be relatively discreet, and they helped people communicate directly. This paper also came to the conclusion that the feeling of isolation was crushing for queer people at the time.

Methods

I read zines published by queer people around the 80s & 90s. I specifically focused on HOMOCORE, because it has a bunch of content and several issues. It also has letters from readers, which are great for looking at the state of the queer community at the time. My discipline was history.

Primary Sources

+ HOMOCORE

+ J.D.s

+ I'm Queer. You're Straight.

Secondary Sources

+ Decidedly Non-Commercial: Zines, Zinesters and Queer Community

+ Fagazine: the Queer history of zine culture.

Conclusion

I want people to take away that zines were a massively helpful force for the queer community, to connect people and to fight isolation and loneliness.

conclusion

A large amount of people believe president John F. Kennedy was killed in a conspiracy. Despite that and the confusing circumstances surrounding his assassination, there isn't substantial evidence to corroborate another party's involvement. My project aims to address why people are so inclined to believe these theories, and why this particular event generated more conspiracy theories than other similar events.

ABSTRACT

METHODS/DISCIPLINE

History and psychology

SOURCES

+ Karen Douglas et al. - The Psychology of Conspiracy Theories

+ Art Swift - Majority in U.S. Still Believe JFK Killed in a Conspiracy

+ Marta Marchlewska et al. - Addicted to answers: Need for cognitive closure and the endorsement of conspiracy beliefs

+ David Rietzes - JFK conspiracy theories at 50: how the skeptics got it wrong and why it matters

Main research method (source source?): Google Scholar

CONCLUSION

Confusing circumstances in a surprising situation does not mean a conspiracy was involved, but there are legitimate reasons for people to believe in one. There is no way to completely avoid conspiracy theorist beliefs, but acknowledging evidence for what it is regardless of pre-existing biases is a good start.

ABSTRACT

This essay is going to cover Oscar Micheaux, known as the first major African American filmmaker, and his struggles with racism in his era. He wrote novels and soon transformed them into movies, starting his own film company, “Micheaux Film and Book Company.” Being black in the early 1900s, there were many challenges to overcome while making a film, like budget, actors, sets, and more. His films, starring a solely black cast, were revolutionary for his time. He cast young African American actors to give them a chance in the spotlight, playing distinguished and complex characters, unlike the demeaning, small roles they would be offered by mainstream Hollywood. He used his films as a platform to preach his thoughts to the masses. He was an inspiration to all suppressed communities and paved the way for future independent film directors.

CONCLUSION

• Respect for the contributions Oscar Micheaux made for the film industry

Takeaways

Abstract

The paper, "The Dynamics of Eminent Domain: Revisiting Urban Narratives," explores the historical, legal, and ethical aspects of eminent domain, particularly its impact on marginalized communities. It examines landmark cases like Berman v. Parker and Kelo v. City of New London, highlighting the complexities and controversies surrounding property rights, government power, and urban development. The case of Seneca Village is used to illustrate the often devastating impact of eminent domain on communities. The paper proposes solutions to make the use of eminent domain more equitable and transparent, emphasizing the need for policy reform and community engagement in urban development.

Methodology: Legal and Cultural History

Discipline: Law

Conclusion

Through this exploration of eminent domain's complexities, it becomes clear that its impact stretches far beyond individual property rights, shaping the very essence of urban life and community identity. This paper beckons a call for thoughtful policy reform and community engagement, urging us to reimagine urban development in a way that honors both progress and the sanctity of personal and communal spaces.
