Abstract

VIZCAINO MOSQUEDA, Laura Elisa. The Contemporary Mexican Short Story: Generic Qualities and Editorial Implications. Bibliographica [online]. 2020, vol.3, n.1, pp.133-156.  Epub Dec 09, 2024. ISSN 2594-178X.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iib.2594178xe.2020.1.63.

Short stories are often related with novels, essays and sometimes even with poetry, this is due to the fact that there aren’t strict limits in terms of extension and that prose can be mixed with other types of writing. Without the intention of defining what literary genres are, this paper seeks to sustain that hybridization of short stories affects its publications forms and, by extension, its editorial trajectory. As a result, it would be necessary to review its structural aspects, perspectives of the cultural context in which the short story is created, the importance of publications that gather several short stories -such as magazines and anthologies-, the contribution of short story bibliographies and some editorial collections that have opted for this gender.

Keywords : Mexican short story; short story bibliographies; editorial trajectory; publishing companies; short story reception.
