Facing the challenge of writing a history of literature, both in Colombia and Latin America, the literary historiography have determined to point out, beyond the undeniable existence of various regulatory devices that control writing and reading, all social and institutional mechanisms through which regulations of the speakable, the understandable and readable are realized. In this context, this paper aims to discuss the effects and the decisions that entail the applying of different ways of periodization, which are either conceptions of time or metropolitan aesthetics, closely linked to a hegemonic project that tends to obscure and ignore vast discursive productions.
