Ouxpo is an acronym for Ou vroir d X Po tentielle. It is an umbrella group for Oulipo , Oubapo , Outrapo , etc. The term ouvroir , originally used in conjunction with works of charity, was reused by Raymond Queneau for a blend of ouvroir and uvre work and roughly corresponds to the English workshop . The term potentiel is used in the sense of that which is possible, or realisable if one follows certain rules . History Created within the Pataphysics Coll ge de Pataphysique in 1960, Oulipo is now better known than the college itself and has survived the decline of the college. In accordance with the wishes of Fran ois Le Lionnais and Raymond Queneau , other Ou vroirs d X Po tentielle have been spun off from Oulipo for all the arts. Each ouvroir is dedicated to some field X . It analyses the pre existing constraints, and investigates new forms of potential creations within the field. The job of coordinating the ouvroirs was given first to Fran ois Le Lionnais , then No l Arnaud , and then Milie von Bariter .
