Cultural and institutional centralism has characterized the development of rural and liminal regions of Mexico, entailing a prolonged and generalized neglect towards historiographic narration of the Northern region. The reconstruction of its social dimension has been picked up through the work of local historians; among a few, Ricardo Elizondo Elizondo (1950-2013) stands out thanks to his literary work, in which his historiographic research is conveyed through microhistory-related fiction. Thus, this research paper suggests an approximation to the Mexican Northwest microhistory between the end of the revolutionary conflicts and the rise of neoliberal politics, following the trace marked by Elizondo's coral novel Narcedalia piedrotas (1993) and reconstructing the relation existing between historical context and literary narrative.

Among the allegories that have flooded Mexican contemporary literature, the end of the world occupies a growing territory in its realm of signs. From the crash literature--whose first novelistic cycle was composed of five apocalyptic novels-- up to the punk worlds of Bernardo Fernández, the end of the world has become a cultural signifier that shapes the collapse of two concepts that drew the cultural and political coordinates of post revolutionary Mexico: Nation and Modernity.
