.
In these times in which literature is no longer what he taught us modernity, a creative act that had the aesthetic pleasure principle and transforming power of man, and became an object of the market, it is important have other views that bring a contemporary man really suffering but does not understand. The current dilemma facing a writer is to choose if your theme has to do with vital facts or is limited to the situation or fashion.
ROMANTIC AND LANDOWNERS
To achieve an approach to literature in the Valley, we have that two works from the nineteenth century established the concerns, the subjects of fiction and creative imagination of those who started the narration and poetry into a region at that time was part of what has become known as the Great Cauca . I mean Mary and The Royal Ensign, novels of Jorge Isaacs and Eustaquio Palacios.
La Maria is arguably the masterpiece of romantic fiction in America. Its rapid spread across the continent, its validity as a source of study for a period of particular political and social turmoil in the country, we can state that continues to interest readers in Colombia and the world. And Ensign Royal Palaces novel, sets the behavior of elites valle illustrated with respect to the tradition of sugar cane and conch farm in a place isolated from the rest of the country and the world.
At the same time we must highlight the work of Rivera and Bugueño Luciano Garrido, Leonardo Tascon and Mercedes Tulueño Victoria Gómez, a pioneer of the narrative of women in Colombia with his work Mysteries of Life, published in the National Printing 1884.
In the case of poetry, its most prominent exponents of the moment began the publication of his work with a great concern for the landscape around them, as gifts of the Creator who perform praise from the canons of the Catholic religion. As most representative singers of these ca-lendas can point to Isaiah Gamboa, author of the novel native land, Mario Carvajal and Antonio Llanos.
RADICALISM LIBERAL AND VIOLENCE
Since 1910, the Valle del Cauca began a process of transformation of three basic facts, the creation of the department, the implementation of the Pacific Railway and colonization of sloping land with the consequent creation of coffee farms. This new field generates economic vallecau-Americans in an zeal for popular causes.
trend movements are established so-cialist in all major cities of the newly created department, it opens up an incipient but enthusiastic union-led project influenced by
artisans.

. liberal thought which men boast Rafael , Tomás Uribe and Heraclius, who questions the rent of land as the main obstacle to productive and equitable development. Such claims of democratic participation put in check the old oligarchy vallecaucana accustomed to the enormous privilege of slave labor and slave you. The response to such libertarian tendencies take hold in the region is encouraging from the 40's the physical extermination of such a liberal project with the phenomenon of 'Violence'. While this period about 20 years, is sterile for the creation and imagination, once restored the hegemony of the power of ruling elites, who suffered the outrages of so dark years begin to recreate fiction from its abuses. Just start typing in the country and especially in the region, the novel about the violence that has in the Valley to exhibitors as Fernán Tulueño Muñoz Jiménez with his work Horizons closed, the Cali Arturo Alape with Night birds, but especially with Gardeazábal Alvarez's novel, do not bury Condors every day, which marks a milestone in how fiction becomes the story of the violence.
MODERNITY
Once established in the department industrialization project with the conformation of the sugar plantations in what were originally large sugarcane mills and domestic and foreign business investment in the region from the 70's, establishing a dynamic process of urbanization of the ancient and peaceful villages, including Cali , its capital, which make up the rich valley geography. This predominance of the rural town on immediate results in the change in the minds of its people and the need for universities to prepare a new type of society in line with new technologies.
This led to the city with multiple diversity, with its cosmopolitan look, with its hive of trends arts and culture that goes around the world such intellectual Kalends, as the vanguard of literary creation from the narrative and poetry. It is the boom of literature vallecaucana with the aforementioned authors as Gardeazábal Alvarez, Fernando Cruz Kronfly the Bugueño, the narrator of Obrero neighborhood Umberto Valverde, Oscar Collazos, Rodrigo Parra Sandoval, Enrique Cabezas Rher Oscar Londoño Pineda, Hernán Toro Marco Tulio Aguilera Garramuño, Armando Romero, Fabio Martinez and Andres Caicedo.
Along with this varied and remarkable panorama pa-narrative, for the 70 began to publish some poets who have now achieved sufficient national and international recognition despite (or by) the plurality of voices that show not only the talent that should have working the poetic word, but a careful rigor coupled with a special and detailed way in the development of the image qualities of those who truly take the challenge, sometimes fragile, and poetry. They are, among others, Jota Mario Arbelaez, Harold Alvarado Tenorio, Thomas Quintero, Cecilia Balcazar, Gerardo Rivera, Antonio Zibara, Alvaro Burgos, Rodrigo Escobar Holguín, Aníbal Arias, Carmiña Navia, Carlos Vázquez, Fabio Arias, Amparo Romero, Medardo Arias Ana Milena Puerta, Horacio Benavides, Julián Malatesta, Orienta Lozano Carlos Fajardo, Angel Tello, Fabio and Jorge Eliecer Valdivia Ibarra Ordóñez.

TIMES

Valle del Cauca in the power of this offense caused unprecedented stigmatization led to jail to political leadership in the process 8,000, and was not seen in any other region of Colombia and changed the way we relate vallecaucana society, its ethical values, in addition to their tastes and imaginary people.

CANE A TREASURY OF STORIES OF PIRATES.
By: Omar Ortiz Forero
In these times in which literature is no longer what he taught us modernity, a creative act that had the aesthetic pleasure principle and transforming power of man, to become an object of the market, it is important to have other views that bring contemporary man to have a reality but that does not understand. The current dilemma facing any writer of this time is to choose if your theme has to do with vital facts or is limited to the situation or the prevailing fashion. In the end, how to resolve it can make you a millionaire or condemn it to oblivion. But there are alternatives. Examples are those who have assumed the current writers and poets of Valle del Cauca.
Facing a canonical tradition, like Mary, and everyday life that can seem overwhelming, our literary creators have opted for a careful use of language, which sometimes may seem baroque, as historical novels William Ospina, but never give rise to facilities that are intended to flatter and please the reader. Nor have they chosen the path of the themes of fashion and persist to overcome tradition and actually risking surrounding new forms that can be successful as the book underwear, Jota Mario Arbelaez who won the Chinese Poetry Varela, Venezuela earlier this year.
not have it easy our young artists who have to overcome the legacy of authors such as Alvarez Gardeazábal with Condors do not bury every day, and Andres Caicedo to live the music, who certainly went beyond the canon and the time.
Romance & landlord.
To achieve an approach to literature in the Valle del Cauca, it must be based on two works that established in the nineteenth century concerns, the subjects of fiction and creative imagination of those who started the narrative and poetic work in a region that time was part of what has become known as the Great Cauca. I refer to "Mary" and "The Royal Ensign" the novels of Jorge Isaacs and Eustaquio Palacios.
Isaacs's novel is arguably the masterpiece of romantic fiction in America. Its rapid spread throughout the Americas, many readers who have reviewed with care and emotion its pages, its validity as a source of study for a period of particular political and social turmoil in the country, we can say that this work continues exercise a special interest in the reading public of Colombia and the world. Published in 1867, the unique and exciting life of the author has given material for contemporary authors, including Professor of the Universidad del Valle Fabio Martínez, novel its unique life journey.
And "The Royal Ensign, Parker's novel, Roldanillo born in 1830, sets the behavior of elites valle illustrated with respect to the tradition of the sugarcane farm in the Cauca Valley geography and conching in a world isolated from the rest of the country and the world.
historical At that same time we must highlight the work of Rivera and Bugueño Luciano Garrido, Leonardo Tascon and Mercedes Gómez Tulueño Victoria, pioneer of fiction written by women in Colombia with his "Mysteries of Life" published in the National Press in 1884 and reissued by the Universidad Central del Valle de Tulua in his collection Cantarana in 2005.
Moreover, in the case of poetry, his most prominent farmers in those initial moments of our creative work, initiated the publication of his work into the twentieth century with a significant concern that the surrounding landscape, the beauty of the flora and fauna diversity of Valle del Cauca, as gifts of the magnificence of the Creator in praise yielding from the orthodox canons of the Catholic religion. As most representative of these singers can bring to Isaiah Kalends Gamboa, author of the novel "The native land," Mario Carvajal and Antonio Llanos.
liberal radicalism and political violence.
Since 1910, the Valle del Cauca began a process of socio-political transformation of three basic facts, the creation of the Department, the implementation of the Pacific Railway and the colonization of sloping land with the consequent creation of coffee farms. This new economic field generated in the people valle an unusual zeal for popular causes. Establishing clear tendency socialist movements in all major cities that are part of the newly created Department, it opens up an incipient but enthusiastic union project driven by craftsmen influenced by liberal thinking which men boast Rafael , Thomas and Heraclius Uribe, who questions the rent of land as the main stigma for productive and equitable development in the region. Such claims of democratic participation and inclusive place in check the old oligarchy vallecaucana accustomed to the enormous privilege of slave labor and slave. The response to such libertarian tendencies take hold in the region is encouraging from the forties the physical extermination of such a liberal project with the phenomenon that has become known as "violence." While this
period about twenty years, the 40 to 60, is sterile for the creation and imagination, once restored the hegemony of the power of dominant elites, those who suffered the outrages of so dark years begin to recreate from the fiction their sinister abuses. Thus begins to be written in the country and especially in the region vallecaucana novel about violence in the region has major exhibitors like Fernán Tulueño Muñoz Jiménez with his "Horizons closed" the Cali Arturo Alape with " Night Birds "," Diary of a guerrilla, "" The death of Sureshot "," The body of the invisible men, "" The Bogotazo "," Memories of Oblivion "and" Sureshot ", but especially with the novel Gardeazábal Alvarez, "Condors do not bury every day," which marks a milestone in the way in which fictional episode of violence in Colombia and which says Professor Jonathan Tittle in his study "The Word and the Command" published by Tulua Central University in 2004, "There is something overwhelmingly powerful in this text, which quickly became a paradigmatic example of the Novel of Violence in Colombia and managed to adapt to the big screen under the direction of Francisco Norden (1985 ). " According to the author of over 60 Condors official editions and more than 90 pirate editions, the two most recent edition authorized the Collection "50 novels and a painted" (Filber, 2008) Pijao Publishers and just released by the network of regional universities "Alma Mater" and was released to the public at the Frankfurt Book Fair in Bogota in August. Modernity
Once established in the Department of industrialization project with the consolidation of sugar mills in what were originally large sugarcane mills and domestic and foreign business investment in the region since the seventies, establishing a dynamic process of urbanization of the ancient and peaceful villages, including Cali, its capital, which make up the rich valley geography. This predominance of the rural town on immediate results in the change in the minds of its people and the need for schools of higher nature to develop a new type of society in line with new technologies. There is then a shift in the way of dealing with the literary event of inaction from bucolic poetry cardboard beautician and a compelling desire to narrate and make poetry the new realities that rebuilds the environment.
This raises the city with multiple diversity, with its cosmopolitan look, with its hive of artistic and cultural trends for these Kalends runs the intellectual world, as the forefront of literary creation from the narrative and poetry. It is the boom of literature by authors such as Valle del Cauca aforementioned Gardeazábal Gustavo Alvarez, the Bugueño Kronfly Fernando Cruz, the narrator of Obrero neighborhood Umberto Valverde, Oscar Collazos, Rodrigo Parra Sandoval, Enrique Cabezas Rher, Oscar Londoño Pineda, Hernán Toro, Marco Garramuño Tulio Aguilera, Armando Romero, Fabio Martinez, and Andres Caicedo unfortunate.
Along with this varied and remarkable narrative scene, by the seventies they began to publish a unique group of poets who today have achieved sufficient national and international recognition or even a plurality of voices that show not only the talent that should have working the poetic word, but a careful rigor coupled with a special and detailed way in the development of the image qualities of those who truly take the challenge, sometimes fragile, the poetry.

Eliécer Ordóñez Special mention playwright Enrique Buenaventura who not only transformed the Colombian theater works as "orgy", "Soldiers" and "The wonderful journey of lies and truth", to name a few, also founded the Theatre School at the University of the Valley but was also a noted poet and an accomplished writer and storyteller, as evidenced by the collection just released by the Universidad del Valle and Eduardo Galeano says, "Enrique Buenaventura was one of the best storytellers I was lucky enough to listen to and the misfortune of envy. These pages show Henry was excellent in spoken and written well. Reading it, I listen, and to travel and get lost and find myself and find it. Die Hard, man. "
Hard times.
But as there snake paradise without a new calamity stalking vallecaucanos Colombians and especially the phenomenon of drug trafficking that with great power corrupting and a State and a co-opted leadership was complicit in all areas of the nation, especially you have to do with the regional political and economic. Valle del Cauca in the power of this new form of criminal record led to a stigma which led to jail his entire political leadership in the famous trial eight thousand, and was not seen in any other region of Colombia and substantially changed the way we relate vallecaucana society, ethical values, love of his tastes and imaginary citizens.
Faced with this crisis than in other regions of the Colombian nation has spawned a new literature based on the actions of the protagonists of mob action in our territory and enclaves in North America and Europe and is known as the novel sicaresca widely welcomed by the marketing heads of the big publishers who see this perverse expression of the hero a gold mine for his business interests, in Valle del Cauca, is maintained tradition and poetic narrative that privileges the proper use of language, maintaining a careful plot to keep the reader's attention on the development of history, as for example on the novel by Edgar Collazos published last year that New Woman publisher and entitled "The Devil in the bow" and is no more or less a history of pirates.

If this patient and tenacious work of literature, of fiction these difficult times, we add the voice of young poets like Elvira Alejandra Quintero, Carlos Patiño, Diego Rodrigo Echeverri, JJ Guzman Norman Muñoz Vargas, Hernando Urriago and Elizabeth Marin, to name a few, who insist on proving that there is creation and life in the midst of barbarity, then we have a vigorous and promising work in training no matter what they say indicators from commercial channels.
