To socialize the study made to the Voces Magazine - Barranquillera magazine of the early 20th century that promoted literary materials - from a space and material reading in which maps will be used - GPS type, Google maps - both for the reconstruction of Barranquilla Of that time as to unveil the way the magazine circulated in and out of space. What is sought in this research work is to make the geography visible - to bring geography back to the debate of the social sciences - seen as a definitive and conclusive element in literary invention re-locating the concept of map as much as a category of study And analysis as an instrument of observation and research for the development of a historical and literary corpus, and in this case, a literary "system" in Barranquilla. This new turn that I propose with the use of digital platforms aims to reveal the discursive relationship that exists between the way the characters are situated - the genesis of producers and acting institutions that operated in and from the urban as well as the practices involved in The elaboration, edition, manufacture and circulation of the magazine in Barranquilla space, as well as of the spatial correspondences between the social structures of the Barranquilla of that time-economic, cultural, political, and especially urban-fields with the structures and motivations "Internal to the Voices literary" system ".
