"This creative practice research project is composed of two interwoven parts: a collection of fourteen original zines created over its duration and [an] accompanying critical thesis. Th[e] thesis is just one trace of both research practices (reading, academic writing, autoethnography) and zine practices (reading, zine writing and assembling, reproduction and distribution). The fourteen zines offer another, different, trace of these same zine and research practices. They are presented as an intentionally curated collection, analogous to a poetry collection, titled Holding Title. Together the two parts of the project explore liminality and trouble easy distinctions between theory and practice – enacting many of the same third-space knowledge practices as the zines I encounter in this research."-- From Cooper, L. (2024) The zINe-between : a creative practice exploration of health, liminality, lived experience and the zines in Wellcome Collection, page 8. https://kar.kent.ac.uk/106954/1/225The_zINe_Between.pdf
