This paper examines the notion of regional literature in a corpus of ten articles and books published in the last fifty years in Peru. The study shows that, despite the widespread use of the term, it lacks an ontological and epistemological delimitation, which makes its methodological validation difficult. The analysis of the corpus, likewise, reveals a confusion in the configuration of the regional literary space and ambiguity in the use of the names regional literature, regionalist literature, provincial literature, interior literature or names derived from the geopolitical division of the departments. This suggests as an initial hypothesis that the regional literature category is part of an unresolved agenda in Peruvian literary studies.
