dig me out: discourses on popular music, gender and ethnicity (CD Rom and online archive)

Location

San Sebastian
Spain
43° 19' 14.61" N, 1° 59' 4.0164" W

A DVD-publication edited my María José Belbel and Rosa Reitsamer, funded by Arteleku (Diputación de Gipuzkoa, Donostia/San Sebastian, Basque Country)

Popular music expresses our deepest wishes and political flights, our imaginary bright sides of life. It is a token of love, of post/adolescent wishes, of possible sexualities and genders. It's functions as a field of research and as a ground for feminist and anti-racist networking.

fiber. werkstoff für feminismus und popkultur (magazine)

Location

Vienna
Austria
48° 12' 33.1416" N, 16° 22' 22.0008" E

fiber. werkstoff für feminismus und popkultur versteht sich als (Medien-) Projekt, das in seinem Selbstverständnis Frauen als Akteur_innen wahrnimmt und ihnen bewusst Präsenz verleiht. Wenn wir uns dabei auf den Begriff der geschlechtlichen Identität – in dem Falle „Frau“ – beziehen, ist uns klar, dass dieser Begriff von Ambivalenzen, Unschärfen, Widersprüchen und Uneindeutigkeiten durchzogen ist, wobei diese Unschärfen in unterschiedlichsten Formen sexueller bzw. geschlechtlicher Identität zum Ausdruck gebracht werden (können).

Subtext (Magazine, 2006-2010)

Location

Nottingham
United Kingdom
52° 57' 18.3888" N, 1° 8' 57.516" W

Feminism, politics and culture magazine.

Subtext is written and managed entirely by volunteers on a not-for-profit basis.

We're here to provide an alternative to mainstream women's glossies - a space that's challenging, supportive and engaging. There'll be plenty of much needed feminist critique too.

Subtext is a place where women can voice their opinions, sound off and promote the great things that they're doing or that they respect in others. Men are welcome to join the fun too.

The ladyfest-ro collective has so far also organised two ladyfests in Bucharest (2007) and in Timisoara (2005) and published two zines (Zina lf_ro #1 & #2) to accompany the festivals which can get read on this blog

Location

Germany

Info:
German feminist magazine on pop culture, politics, style, etc. a blog is integrated into the website

Statement:
Wieso gibt es in Deutschland kein Magazin, das die Berichterstattung über Popkultur, Politik und Style mit einer feministischen Haltung verbindet? Weil es bisher noch niemand gemacht hat. Wir wollten so ein Heft unbedingt lesen und glauben, dass es vielen anderen jungen Frauen genauso geht. Deshalb machen wir Missy.

Uplift (E-Zine, Magazine)

Location

United Kingdom

Uplift is a non profit making, independent women’s online magazine which acts as a place to showcase many women’s voices.

Uplift exists as an alternative to all the women’s magazines out there that put down and patronise. We want to show women that they’re not alone if they find features such as ‘the starvation tips of top models’ mind numbing. Uplift encourages intelligent engagement with the pop culture that surrounds us and offers women a platform to have their say, share ideas and get creative. All opinions expressed within Uplift are those of the individual authors.
