Abstract

This article briefly presents the results of a research exercise on the relationship between urbanism and literature as an element to understand historical phenomena that took place specifically in Bogota between 1940 and 1960. To that end, two aspects of great importance in the development of the modern city, move and inhabit, are analyzed in three novels written in this period of time. Based on this outline, an analytical categorization is built using ideas formulated by the historian Carl Schorske, the city as a vice, the city as a virtue and the city beyond good and evil, which referred to the novels, allows to understand the two way relationship between cultural and urban changes.
