Fanzine: the paratopic polyvalence

Abstract

This paper describes a research in which the relation between paratopia and utterance is discussed. Based on Discourse Analysis, the research focuses on literary fanzines, indicating those elements that would assure the paratopy of such a device. It is assumed that literary devices considered marginal or independent, as the fanzine, for example, would present a paratopical condition as constitutive of its discourse.
