Abstract

Purpose: The main objective of the research is to understand the construction of the city of El Alto, from the geoliterature after the gas war. Methodology / Focus: The methodology to be used is qualitative, to understand the work, literary works such as novels, chronicles and also interviews with their authors were used. Results: According to the above, it is possible to point out that the authors understand the city from their individuality, since each one presents the territory from personal experiences, which makes each of the writings expose the city with real elements. Also, it is mentioned that the war ceased to be fundamental for the construction of the urban imaginary of El Alto. Writers in the last decade are dedicated to highlighting different events such as trade, economic growth and the political participation of the city. Originality / Value of the article: This article is an attempt to show the relationship that geography has with different disciplines, it is for this reason that through geoliterature we use books, tools as important as maps for the interpretation of the territory.
