the literary creation in the region of Santander is characterized by the positions and arguments between the promoters and opponents of a "santanderean literature". Following Schmidt-Welle's postulates on regional literature, the content analysis of interviews with creators and literary promoters, as well as the review and critique of documentary sources of Santander's literary inventories, the article characterizes the visibility that the santanderean writers have had, the regional determinisms that have fostered the "santanderean literature" inspired by the authors of the 20th century, as well as a dynamic internationalist evocation of the santanderean people and landscape.

The paper examines the role of literature in reshaping conceptions of history, memory and region from the landholders, peasants and priests analyzed by Eduardo Caballero Calderon in his narrative of the towns located in the Chicamocha river canyon in the mid-twentieth century, especially Tipacoque and Capitanejo. We also found of great importance for this work the author's qualitative descriptions based on his political convictions, the party conflicts and his socio-political concerns about the transformations of the notions of modernity and mixture of historic memory and literary tradition to the north of Boyacá and Santander southeast.
