Abstract

This introductory paper traces a general perspective of the nowadays Chicanx/Latinx state of the question, including articles, notes, creative poems and drawings, and a tribute in memoriam Rudolfo A. Anaya (1937-2020). Challenging canons, norms and genres seems to be particularly appropriate when tackling ideology from the polychromatic gaze of transcultural minorities in the US. As such, Chicanx/Latinx literary and artistic expressions act as catalysts of renovation and change, not only in terms of content but also playing with forms in a freer, experimental way. Transgressing what is considered “normal” seems to be the only way to cope with fringes and frames, and thus a contemporary redefinition of the world is reached to highlight the “real” truth of artistic normativity.
