Generally speaking, the objective of this article is to present a proposal for the construction of a Mexican literature history of the 20th century. During this period foundations take shape and get established throughout the journey where, among other issues, it reflects around the Humanities, its particularities and disciplines. Regarding those disciplines, it’s important to establish that the focal point rests on literature and history, specifically intellectual history. In that sense, the text borrows the ideas of Dominick LaCapra about the role of the historian and therefore of the historiography set forth in his book: History and its Limits. Subsequently the text reviews both the political, social and cultural factors and the contributions and shortcomings of the critical theory studies responsible for the configuration of a record of our literature from the past century. Lastly, the text proposes the division of the literary Century in four stops, or periods to put this proposal in motion.
