Abstract

From their columns and articles for the newspapers in Barranquilla and Cartagena, three writers from the Atlantic Coast: Gabriel García Márquez, Álvaro Cepeda Samudio and Héctor Rojas Herazo, began a fight directly against the intellectual environment of Bogotá. According to these writers, it was anachronistic, full of “local color” and its fame of being the “Atenas suramericana” was false. When Gabriel García Márquez was recognized in Latin America as a writer of the boom, that fight was legitimated inside the Colombian literary field and this fact renovated the symbolic power relations between these regional subfields
