The adventure of preparation: Notation, registration and montage in Francisco Bitar's literary work.

Notación, registro y montaje en la apuesta literaria de Francisco Bitar

Abstract

Francisco Bitar (Santa Fe, 1981) has ventured into poetry, chronicles, novels and essays and it could be said that his literary project has been betting, in a singular way, on a progressive destabilization of generic boundaries and conventions. Bitar constructs anomalous artifacts, slightly shifted from the axis of genres, in which he mobilizes a series of both transmedial and transtextual operations that this paper will seek to problematize. The experimental plot that insinuates the passage through these intermediate territories, in which a central figure is that of the editor who composes and arranges in a new surface diverse materials and registers (friendly voices recorded with the cell phone, tweets and photos published in social networks, captures or drawings that enter the book from the writer's intimate or domestic sphere, or testimonial fragments compiled in an academic book), allows Bitar to reflect on supports, temporalities and modalities of inscription and circulation, to return without naivety to certain avant-garde motifs: the relationship between art and life, between literature and experience, between art and material world, in discussion with inherited forms, debates and devices.
