Abstract

@EstacionCamaron (2016) narrates the trip that Cristina Rivera Garza did to the homonymous town, a geographical trip into the border Mexico-USA and a temporal trip into the Monterrey Historical Archive. The writing project is collaborative and bilingual. Combining sampling and juxtaposition, it reconstructs and rewrites the memory of the town. The project deals with violence in contemporary Mexico, the land reform in Nuevo Leon, Rivera Garza’s family history, the peasants and workers wars in post-revolutionary Mexico, Jose Revueltas’ involvement in the revolution, the massive migrations caused by poverty in the region, and its ruination. This article reads this digital textuality as a conceptual piece that articulates the plurality of the writing with practices that question the use of language, the archive, the H/history, and its interactions with other texts.
