Description
Summary:Edition has a fundamental political dimension as a practice of promoting voices and speeches as part of a dialogue with culture. Working with the word from this perspective in vulnerable contexts broadens the horizon of the studies of editorial practices, pointing out its specificity in the creation of links between authors and readers beyond the conditions imposed by the market and industry. In particular, publishing in confined contexts has given rise to productions that cover a wide range of editorial formats, elaborated within the framework of projects that, we consider, cannot be approached from the perspective that understands publishing as a cultural industry. These other ways of conceiving and developing editorial practices refer to models and traditions with their own load of significance, such as cartonera books and fanzines, formulated in historical contexts and as part of specific symbolic disputes. When retaking them, the publications edited in confinement contexts ascribe but also resignify these ways of doing. The objective of this article is to propose some lines of inquiry to understand the conditions of this type of reappropriation and the meanings it displays from the perspective of editorial practices.
