A critical approach on theoretical interaction and on literary historystructuring is essential due to the conformation, survival and undermining of the mechanisms that build memory. This paper focuses on the connection between the construction of literary canon and the dynamics of memorability. In this regard, those processes make possible not only the consolidation of a national literary canon, but also to depict the changes on the concept of historian and critic based on four Colombian Literature Histories. According to authors such as José María Vergara y Vergara, Baldomero Sanín Cano, Antonio Gómez Restrepo and Roberto Cortázar the concept of canon can be understood as a mechanism, as a cartography that cannot be static and that also varies according to the proposed mapping.
