This dissertation discusses the cardboard publishing phenomenon at the beginning of the 21st century in Latin America, focusing on the book Conjuros y ebriedades. Cantos de mujeres mayas (2010), published by Taller Leñateros in Chiapas, Mexico; using theoretical and methodological concepts of Cultural Studies (Garcia Canclini, Baudrillard, Bourdieu, Benjamin, Deleuze and Guattari, among others) and Latin American indigenous literary studies (Arias, Carcamo-Huechante and del Valle Escalante, among others). The privatization of the Latin American publishing field during the infamous decade at the end of the 20th Century engendered an explosion of alternative projects from the margins of the publishing industry that sought a more direct relationship between authors, publishers and readers; This is how cardboard publishers emerge, whose books are usually made with reused cardboard. To understand the development of the cardboard publishing phenomenon, four stages were identified: precursory (1930-2002), oral (2003-2007), mediatic (2008-2009) and institutional (2010 onward); as well as three axes: literary, communitary and plastic. The cultural hybridizations of the phenomenon have allowed the pluricanonic publication of consecrated, rescued, emerging and/or novel authors; as well as diverse community experiences in Latin America. Taller Leñateros was integrated into the phenomenon through Cuxtitali Kartonera, rescuing ancestral techniques for the community elaboration of books and disseminating indigenous oral literature (Mayan-Tsotsil). Like the oral stage cartoneras books, they generated an important symbolic capital inherited from the authors that they themselves rescued. From that literary heritage they not only obtained cultural capital as editors, but as writers, such as the case of Ambar Past in the Taller Leñateros or Douglas Diegues with Yiyi Jambo Cartonera in Paraguay. Today, more than an alternative editorial proposal they are an identity phenomenon through the appropriation of the aura “cartonera” as symbolic capital and producer of the same “surname” but with different “personalities.” The categorization and analysis of the cardboard publishing phenomenon and its literary corpus represents a methodological challenge due to the nature of its conception and development, whose result is inevitably estimative; We recommend the creation of a non-profit collaborative network or exclusively academic accessions that keep updated and contextualized information in both historiographical and literary terms, this will promote the urgent investigations that must be carried out from the Digital Humanities. In the same way as the cardboard publishing phenomenon, contemporary Tsotsil poetry offers new aesthetic approaches to Latin American literature at the beginning of the 21st century, thanks to its cultural hybridizations. The Tsotsil songs analyzed are relevant not only as prehispanic historical heritage but also as oral literature, since they constantly change according to the person who interprets them artistically and/or ceremonially, from those who compile, translate, edit and publish them, either in physical or digital format.
