Abstract

The purpouse of this article is to understand wich are the essential literary genres that Mexican contemporary independent publishing considers, with special interest in reviewing the case of short story. At the first glance, it would seem that the independent publishers prefer no canonic publications and no comercials genres. But in the analysis of many publishing houses is obvious that canon plays an important role in their decisions. Published genres are part of the ethnocentrism of Reading, and that´s one of the reasons why short story is not well represented in publishers’ catalogs.
