The use of fanzines as a pedagogical tools in the University: fostering DIY cultures and academic research

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

This presentation aims to analyze the use and appropriation of fanzines by
students in the university in Colombia. I understand fanzines as pedagogical
devices that help developing horizontal relations between the professor and
the students. This experience has been carried out since January 2018 during
the courses of Society and Communication (6th Semester) in the Department of
Political Science. Likewise, this presentation is going talk about punk pedagogies
related to three categories: the body, horizontality and social justice. As a
university professor, I consider that it is necessary to foster punk pedagogies in
the classroom to develop DIY cultures, autonomy and more horizontal relations.
In this sense, we promote an alternative evaluation method that encourages the
participation and allows the development of the students’ academic interests.
To summarize, we propose the next questions for the presentation: how can
we foster punk pedagogies in the classroom? What does the use of the fanzine
imply as an alternative pedagogical tool?
