"Women's Autonomous Cultural Scenes: Media, Space, and Activism": The 2nd lecture
memorandum (some part of lecture contents)

---

In this lecture, I gave an panoramic explanation of the core concept of this class with settling on the subject matter of feminist zines so that participants (mostly beginners) can get a rough idea about the organization, history, and significance of "Women's Autonomous Cultural Scenes" which is the theme of this class.

It includes the universal elements that can be applied to case examples of music, art, activism etc. which this class covers.

The contents I explained are as follows.

・Definition of zine (non-professional / not-for-profit / self-publishing / small number of copies)
