Romper con la palabra

The volume reviews in six critical studies through novels, stories and poems, how a new generation of writers is inserted in the dialogue on topics such as gender, violence, motherhood, memory, family, body and desire. Analyze how works are distinguished by the use of various discursive tools such as myth and religious symbols, the questioning of statutes such as "Truth, History, and Identity", as well as the rethinking of the concept "gender" as a cultural elaboration identity. From a more practical perspective, the volume presents the results of a field study and surveys, conducted at national and international level to recognize current trends in reading, interpretation, and dissemination of the work of Mexican writers, which leaves in evidence what is to be called the "evil of the province," that is, the problem of diffusion and recognition that many of them suffer from working from within the country. The final list "+100 new names of the Contemporary Mexican Writers Project" recognizes already established writers and contributes new values, with what seeks to contribute to the update of an ankylosed and immovable canon.
