Cartas ao Zine Esputinique: escritas de si e invenções de nós da rede

Abstract

This research is outlined between the zines and letters universes, starting from the analysis of the zinesters´ correspondence sent to the zine-catalogue Esputinique, made in Fortaleza from 2002 to 2005. We are interested in understanding the modes of being constructed among a group of zinesters-correspondents which organized themselves around meetings permeating the writing of letters with artistic, affective and literary construction elements. Such letters referred to the meetings, to the sense of belonging to the net, to creation, to experiences while they happen and can be read as a collective and shared field diary, slowly built and in a very fragmented way. They are physical registers of the existence of the net, and beyond, one of the ways through which it is weaved. To look for entanglements between these two universes is to face hybrid zones between public and private, ways of creation, multiple temporalities, art and communication.
