This work links many perspectives, not only literary but also essayistic, historiographicand sociological which build diverse and changing images of Lima. We arguethat what has been written about the Peruvian capital accounts for a transformationgoing from the restrictive lettered city –seat of the central authority, oppressive andalienating– to a necessary meeting place of poets, artists and critical intellectuals. Wealso hold that those visions are not necessarily excluding, not even binary or contraryterms, but they include areas of critical spirit of the Peruvian culture dialecticallyformed. In this sense, the set of textual relationships go beyond the genres: historyengages with sociological essay writing (Basadre with Mariátegui), the narrativewith literary essay writing (Arguedas and Congrains with Sebastián Salazar Bondy)and poetry with literary critics itself (Pablo Guevara, Antonio Cisneros and RodolfoHinostroza with Antonio Cornejo Polar). In this last point, we provide a firstcomparative reading of posthumous poems of Guevara, permanently linked to theconstruction of a poetics about the Peruvian capital that evidences the permeabilityof a non-migrant subject due to the diverse locations of migrant discoursivity.
