La literatura colombiana entre mundialización y la diferencia. Un análisis de la 'lista bicentenaria'.

This article discusses the results of the initiative "200 years of republican history, 200 Colombian literary works" in which an important group of readers - conformed mostly by specialists and connoisseurs of Colombian literature- selected the 'most important' literary books in Colombian history. The Technological University of Pereira (Master and Doctorate in Literature, the University of Caldas (Manizales Book Fair, in association with La Patria from Manizales and Colombia National Radio in 2019, call this project to celebrate the bicentennial of Colombia's national independence. In the selection, the image of literature in the midst of globalization is projected, that is, that articulates local production with modern practices of cultural production, a vision that faces, at the same time, the risk of ignoring authors and homogenizing evaluations of literary practice, which do not adjust to certain 'stereotypical' forms.
