Precarious publishing in Latin America: relations, meaning and community in movement

This project will investigate the Latin American publishing phenomenon of editoriales cartoneras (¡°cardboard publishers¡±) and how they have forged new local and global literary communities. Editoriales cartoneras are small independent publishing projects that make books out of ?recycled cardboard and sell them at reduced prices, with the aim of increasing access to literature in countries where books are expensive. Cartonera is a reference to the cartonero figure ¨C the cardboard collector or ¡°waste picker¡± ¨C a product of the 2001 Argentine economic and unemployment crisis, which saw individuals take to the streets of Buenos Aires to collect and sell scrap materials. Editoriales cartoneras therefore might also be translated as ¡°waste-picking publishers¡±. Many have subsequently recycled the idea, adapting it to different local contexts, communities and social needs. Underpinning these divergent projects is the shared notion of working productively and creatively from a situation of precariousness ¨C material, social, political, economic and/or environmental. In this comparative study of Brazilian and Mexican cartoneras, researchers will explore ¡°precarious publishing¡± in its two closely inter?related guises: an artistic trend and a social movement.
