Abstract

The work of Julia Otxoa, poet, narrator, and visual artist born in the Basque Country (San Sebastian, 1953), is characterized by an experimental creativity where the genres and formats of different literary and nonliterary expressions, artistic or not, are hybridized and/or transposed, configuring a non-canonical aesthetic in which, on the one hand, the intermediary procedures of textual and formal structuring take center stage (Sánchez-Mesa and Baetens, 2017) and, on the other, the discursive presence of violence is treated intersemiotically (Torop, 2002). The analysis of this article focuses on describing these categories, intersemiosis and intermediality, as configurative dimensions of an  aesthetic proposal that is created as an ethical commitment to respond to the acts of violence that take place in the post-dictatorial context of pro-independence nationalist ideology in the Basque Country.
