RESUMO

ABSTRACT The present work reviews identity in Latin America from the 19th to the 21st century. For this, we draw upon literary expressions, but also on contexts in which identity, literature and nation — the other important pillar for our goals — come into relationship or the importance of some of these components changes. From an ontological identity to another disengaged from space, Latin American culture has ceased to be a homogeneous entity to give way to a fluid or already forgotten space. We will try to demonstrate that those totalizing and ontologized identities have remained in the past. The new identities have multiplied because there was a disconnect between them and space or place. As a consequence, ethnic, sexual, ecological and other identities have become visible. Space and tradition have ceased to be the frameworks for the sense of identity. The smaller the identity, the greater seems to be the impulse to feel part of the world.
