More than twenty years have gone by since Artes de México
resumed its editorial work. Over this period we have published
a series of issues on the different faces of Mexico. One series of
titles, for instance, looked at national symbols that have given
us a better understanding of who we are, how our country
is perceived abroad, and how this perception has influenced
our own imagination. Of equal importance is our country’s
festive side. In each of these issues, the power of amazement
has guided our approach to artistic expressions whose beaty
bewitches us, or whose complexity fascinates us.

The Match Box Editions came about in January 2011 as an
editorial initiative by Andrea Fuentes Silva and Alejandro Cruz
Atienza. Since its foundation, and while conceiving the editorial
work as a creative process, we have explored the paths of word
and image through alternative and interdisciplinary proposals,
with literary works, art, essay, disclosure and other unclassifiable
pieces, particularly illustrated books for adults and readers of
various age groups. In The Match Box we have edited works
that express various forms of thought and universal creation
while exploring the relationship between the content with the
aesthetic value and objectivity of the books.

Textofilia S.C.
Tumbona
Textofilia S.C was founded in 2004 as a literature and contemporary art magazine (Textofilia). Since, it was well received
at the main bookstores of the country, in 2009 the partners
created the publishing house Textofilia Ediciones, and they
started to publish books of literature and art in their five different collections. Later on, the company decided to also become
a distributor specialized in books and cultural projects. By that
time, Textofilia won the Edmundo Valadés grant in the category
of Support to independent magazines at the National Fund for
Culture and Arts in Mexico the years 2005-2006 and 20062007. Until now, Textofilia has been invited to participate in
multiple cultural spaces in Spain, Argentina, India, Holland,
United States and Mexico.
Under the slogan “The universal right to idleness” (El derecho
universal a la pereza), Tumbona Ediciones proposes a sort of
creative resistance against the cultural impoverishment of our
country. Our goal is to provide hospitality and circulate the
genres which are more neglected by the bigger groups (short
narrative, literary essay, and aphorism), as well as titles and
less frequent gambles in our editorial landscape (visual books
of small format, and flipbooks). We are interested in discussing
the current notion of book and to understand the publishing house as a space for the artistic experimentation and the
dissemination of critical thinking, a place where the book is
continuously transforming and dialoguing with new formats.

Ediciones Tecolote
Editorial Santillana
Ediciones Tecolote was created in 1993 with the purpose of
spreading various aspects of knowledge among a broad nonspecialized readership. This publishing house is held together
by people from the Social Sciences who wanted to turn books
into an attractive and enjoyable medium; a medium which could
become accessible to the general public and to young people
who are feeling increasingly attracted to electronic media, whilst
being increasingly driven away from reading. We have an owl
as our logo, a symbol of wisdom bearing wings made of books.
The objective of Editorial Santillana is to contribute to the
development of the education and culture of Mexico, through
the production and dissemination of contents, services and educational and literary high quality and innovative material that
responds to the necessities of both the agents of the educating
system and the young readers of our country. “Alfaguara Infantil
y Juvenil” is a scholastic collection that targets readers from 3
years of age to teenage years. Its content is a combination of our
most emblematic works with the work of new contemporary
authors. Generations of readers have discovered the pleasure
of reading through one of the most important catalogues in
the history of children’s and young adult literature in Spanish.
It has more than 400 titles, with authors such as Roald Dahl,
Michael Ende, Luis Pescetti, Arnold Lobel, Elvira Lindo, Ana
Mª Machado, César Mallorquí, Yolanda Reyes, Gianni Rodari
and Jordi Sierra i Fabra among many others.

Translation

Program
Translation Support Program
The Translation Support Program (Protrad) was initiated in 1999; in 2000,
it began convening international publishing houses to apply for economic
support toward the translation and publication of Mexican authors in their
respective languages. The resources were intended for translation costs,
copyright acquisition, and publication. As of 2013, the program also includes
support for Mexican publishing houses in the Spanish-language translation
and publication of international authors.
Historically, Protrad has worked to enable the circulation of Mexican writers’ work through foreign publishing houses that translate (into their own
languages) and publish (in their respective countries) the works of national
authors or of other writers who have resided in Mexico for over 15 years.
In Protrad thus far, 211 international publishing houses have been selected
to translate Mexican works into languages such as Japanese, Romanian,
Portuguese, Germany, English, Italian, and French, among others. Thanks
to this support, authors working with multiple different literary genres have
been translated and published abroad, among which we highlight (as the
most frequently translated writers) Sergio Pitol, David Toscana, Alberto Ruy
Sánchez, Eduardo Antonio Parra, Juan Villoro and Octavio Paz. In the first
cycle of 2013, twelve national publishing houses were selected to translate
works of universal literature and publish them in Mexico.
Since its inception, Protrad has undergone various transformations: initially
operating as a special fund, a sub-fund, it went on to become a program with
contributions from various cultural institutions; a program which, in each
cycle, has received an average of 20 applications per year, and which has
supported the translation and publication of over 150 works to date.
