Abstract: Next, we will analyze the literary work Cartucho: relatos de la lucha en el norte de México (1930) by the writer and artist Nellie Campobello, with an emphasis on the political dimension of the work, exploring what her proposal of a “possible world” or “worldview” consisted of with respect to the official discourse of the post-revolutionary political project. The analysis will be carried out from the perspective of the sociology of literature, understanding that every work and author is inscribed in a historical moment, and that they are both the result and the creators of that moment. Likewise, we will seek to explore the possibilities of literature as a space for the creation and proposition of other realities and, in particular, to address and position Nellie Campobello as the only woman writer of those years who fully assumed her artistic role (despite the fact that this led to a certain amount of social criticism), and who was also committed to her time, proposing a broader view free from official pretensions, recovering the vision of others, those who were ignored or even declared non-existent or incapable of speaking up to name themselves and tell their story and the collective story. Finally, by way of conclusion, the reflection will revolve around what Cartucho can give us today.
