GONZALEZ PENA, Mónika Liliana  and  SAMACA ALONSO, Gabriel David. The Colombian-Peruvian Conflict and the Reactions of the Centro de Historia de Santander (Center of History of Santander) (CHS), 1932-1937. Historelo.rev.hist.reg.local [online]. 2012, vol.4, n.8, pp.367-400. ISSN 2145-132X.

This paper examines and describes the reactions which took the Centre of history of Santander (CHS) after the start of the conflict with Peru in 1932. In the first part of the paper, the so-called war with Peru (1932-1933) is described succinctly to place the reader on the events which generated the mobilization of a group of men of letters in Bucaramanga (Colombia) in the symbolic defense of their homeland. The second part seeks to show how a cultural entity dedicated to the creation of the regional past as it was the CHS, developed a series of events, activities and publications that reflect a political use of the national past. With this, its members met the missionary aim of defending the territorial integrity of Colombia and disseminate patriotic sentiment in the society of Santander.

Keywords : conflict; historiography; country; intellectual; Center of History of Santander; Colombia; Peru.
