Sumario:Literature carries in its essence the cultural register of the sector in which the The author places it, in turn, maintains and generates new cultural spaces: without the need to narrate real historical events, this manages to capture the imaginary of diverse landscapes, the characterization and daily life of its characters, the detail of their actions and the identity of a context of inspiration that, in contextualized literature in the Pampa Salitrera, forms part of the memory of a people overwhelmed by modernity, from the fall of the white gold boom. The description of the Atacama desert, the dryness of the environment, the sound of the wind, extreme weather, fear of soaking, among other issues, are present in the contextualized literature in the nitrate cantons located between the current regions of Arica and Parinacota, Tarapacá and Antofagasta. The texts that frame their literary context in this sector make visible through literature, local identity: it is a different context, which gives it forms a literature dissimilar to other registers. Not being focused on themes of the metropolis, beyond its geographical character, does not tend to be a text recognized as part of the national canon, generally it is considered subordinate, a reflection of an unknown local imaginary and little common for many, but registration of roots and identity for others. Northern literature builds the identity of the sector and gives life to the concept of “Pampa”, generating a metaphorized personification, which conditions the experiences of the characters: death and its normalization, the constant strike, abuse, betrayal, beliefs, conditions deplorable in which the workers lived and the slaughter as a solution to conflicts.
