Abstract

Despite emerging from a context of crisis and precariousness, cardboard publishers have never been defined nor limited to that premise, but rather manifested an aesthetic deeply linked to the social, which goes far beyond traditional publishing. Precisely this is revealed in the elaborate collective book Taking Form, Making Worlds. Cartonera Publishers in Latin America by Lucy Bell, Alex Ungprateeb Flynn, and Patrick O’Hare. Based on extensive fieldwork and collaboration with Dulcinéia Catadora and Catapoesía in Brazil and La Rueda Cartonera and La Cartonera in Mexico, Lucy Bell, Alex Ungprateeb Flynn and Patrick O’Hare present a research project on Latin American cardboard publishers. They analyze their history and their practice while reflecting, discussing and learning with and from the cartoneras/catadoras.

 

Abstracta

A pesar de surgir de un contexto de crisis y precariedad, las editoriales cartoneras nunca se han definido ni limitado a esa premisa, sino que han manifestado una estética profundamente ligada a lo social, que va mucho más allá de la edición tradicional. Precisamente esto nos revela el elaborado libro colectivo Taking Form, Making Worlds. Cartonera Publishers in Latin America de Lucy Bell, Alex Ungprateeb Flynn y Patrick O’Hare. A partir de un extensivo trabajo de campo y colaboración con Dulcinéia Catadora y Catapoesía en Brasil y La Rueda Cartonera y La Cartonera en México, Lucy Bell, Alex Ungprateeb Flynn y Patrick O’Hare presentan un proyecto de investigación sobre las editoriales cartoneras latinoamericanas. Analizan su historia y su práctica al mismo tiempo que reflexionan, dialogan y aprenden con y de las cartoneras/catadoras.
