traditional literature in Colombia, literary criticism in Colombia, bibliographic production of traditional literature, literature and regionAbstract
This article analyzes and considers the role of traditional literature in Colombia, in the field of literary studies and in the regions of the country. After presenting the dearth of studies that value traditional expressions, hypotheses are enunciated to explain the lack of interest on the part of national literary criticism. Following, we show the growing interest in terms of bibliographic production in the country’s regions and we analize the role of these works of traditional literature in heritage terms and in relation to territorial cultural identity.
