FanziNet: anaLogikal Knot Map V. 1.77-(Capit Mundi blog-Italy-2025)

 Lately, I have been in touch with Paul Shiva, headmaster of the blog Capit Mundi, and therefore I discover his fantastic work.Paul is working on a digital archive of Italian anarcho-punk fanzines from the 80s! Here I attach his own introduction to such great project! Big Thanks to Babs for the english translation.(faraway)

“Fanzinet”: Toward the Definitive Mapping of 1980s Italian Fanzines 

A mapping of  Italian fanzines originating from the punk subculture during the 1980s is currently being developed—as part of a wider and more complex project - on Paolo Palmacci's Capit Mundi? webpage.

In Paolo's words, in that decade every fanzine constituted a "link" that functioned, in actual fact, like an IP address does today and - even if it used basic and essential "protocols" (such as telephone tokens and stamps) - that absolutely analogue network was every bit as good as today's world wide web precisely because these collages of images and texts written by hand and/or typed, mimeographed or photocopied, managed to almost magically make it possible a truly widespread interconnection between people (and between the various musical/artistic scenes spontaneously formed by them), amplifying the resulting creative exchange. 

Paolo's research is totally carried out according to a "from below" perspective, essentially for two reasons: first of all because he was part - with his not very well-known bands   of the most deep-rooted underground scene during the 80s and, therefore, this is his “natural” – so to speak - point of view, and secondly because of his consideration that this deluge of ​​self-productions was a sort of “amniotic fluid" without which nothing, even what somehow emerged in the end, would have been possible.

A work of documentation performed with systematic and organic methods, which no one had previously planned or attempted to achieve on the web. To this day, Paolo has “recorded” approximately 670 fanzines, of which about 440 are available free of charge (in keeping with the DIY spirit which created them) in their entirety in PDF format for consultation and/or download.

Paolo tells us that anyone who would like to provide tips, information, news, documents, suggestions and corrections regarding his mapping is very welcome, as the aim is to ensure its widest possible implementation.

If that’s the case, please don't hesitate to write to Capit Mundi?(capitmundi@paolopalmacci.it)

P.S.: Finally, Paolo tells us that he's planning to release a vinyl compilation entitled “No Capitulation” early next year, as part of his project. It will feature 8 tracks by obscure bands he discovered during his research. He literally described it as “the No New York of the Third Millennium”. Stay tuned!
