Session Submission Summary

Men Writing Their Lives: Situating the Authoring Processes of Zinesters

Fri, December 2, 8:45 to 10:15am, Omni Nashville, Floor: Level 2, Broadway Ballroom B

Session Submission Type: Alternative Format Session

Abstract

This alternative format session focuses on how men of varying subjectivities (e.g., race, social class, age and location) create zines (independent self-publications) and highlights the ways in which zinesters compose and share their writing that advance their identities as men of the 21st century. The session will create a dialogue on how zines from three different expressive modes can provide models for youth, particularly boys, to find their voices and engage in literacy for self-representation.
