Abstract

The present research was an outset of the interest in defining the practices which, mediated by the literary press, configured the granadino national literary field during 1836 – 1865. This historical process did not only establish a literary canon but also supported the logic of the practice within the cultural production field altogether, since it objectified the official representations of the social imaginary significance of what was “national”. That national issue was framed by an attempt and a desire to affirm “civilization” in Nueva Granada, an imaginary that worked as a symbolic axis, as the judge and persecutor in the two-party struggle during the nineteenth century.
