Ediciones de la Terraza and those other forms Operations of experimentation and innovation in Ecos de la lengua

Abstract

In tune with recent developments that address the relationship between children’s and youth literature and independent entrepreneurships in the Argentine editorial field, the present article proposes an incursion around Ediciones de la Terraza, a Cordoban publishing house founded in 2012. In the first place, from the exploration of the website and the compilation of diverse sources, the guidelines that support the project and aspects linked to the conformation of the catalogue are rebuilt. Then, we focus on the Sarpare Collection in ways to determine the principles that give meaning to the selection of titles in the collection. Within the framework of a multidisciplinary approach that articulates the studies of reading and edition, the sociology of literature and textual-discourse analysis, drawing —at the same time— on previous works, the case of Ecos de la lengua is examined. Finally, we propose inquiring on the materiality of certain elements that complement the main text, offering further meaning to the collection. The partial results lead us to maintain that the paths “from la Terraza” and their vanishing points modulate operations of experimentation and innovation in the becoming of those other forms.
