Summary:We note that local speculative narrative increasingly insist on the use of the return to certain highly connotative spaces of national literature of all time, but consolidated as chronotopes typical of our cultural imaginary during the nineteenth century: the countryside, the plain or the “desert”, the river, and the “inner frontier”. We will place special emphasis on the returns of the latter to show that it is a traumatic nucleus of national literature that returns, and expresses itself in the form of a thematic stain because it builds symptomatic series –it shows fears, anxieties, desires of society– between several works and links different eras with their historical variables.
