Clase Turista is an argentinian literary publishing
house. Its goal is to stimulate the pleasure and teletransporting
property of reading, through original narrative approaches and shocking
artwork.
Clase Turista produces its books based on the belief
in a new kind of reader, whose worldview is governed by the notion
of “flash”: the contemporary way to interact with the
world, impregnated with Hollywood discourses, Pop culture, literature,
drugs, text messages and the threat of reality in the news or on
the streets.
In contrast to the digitalization of reading, each
book is unique and handmade, vindicating craftwork, the value of
the object-book, and the fetishist's pleasure.
Its production system is a mixture of punk's
do it yourself philosophy and Latin American guerrilla war planning:
conceptual synthesis, minimum resources, maximum impact.
