This dissertation demonstrates adaptations in cultural production to the forces of globalization and information technology. I discuss innovation in Mexican and Brazilian novels by investigating album novels and web-to-print novels. I begin by describing Idos de la mente: la increکble y (a veces) triste historia de Ramلn y Cornelio by Luis Humberto Crosthwaite as an album novel that creates cultural attachments for a hybrid border society through globalized multi-media sources. My third chapter investigates the "supermodern" bricolage of Mario Prata's Buscando o seu Mindinho . In this chapter I demonstrate that an album novel can mimic a "hypertext" in its use of the web search in order to bring disparate pieces into the whole of a novel. In my fourth chapter I focus on Subcomandante Marcos and Paco Ignacio Taibo II's web-to-print publication Muertos incلmodos: Falta lo que falta . The fifth chapter investigates a similar process of production in the memoir O Doce Veneno do Escorpiعo: Diario de uma Garota de Programa by Bruna Surfistinha. Here I point out how the online performance of Bruna Surfistinha became the source for a print memoir that appealed to an international audience. For both Marcos and Surfistinha, the internet has been a way to breakthrough the oppressive system of power that limits authorship to the elite (what Angel Rama called "la ciudad letrada"). In my conclusion I synthesize the ways in which these album novels and online writing projects attributed to performances deal with issues of globalization and technology as well as suggest avenues for possible future study.
