This article explores how the experience of migration (temporary or definitive) is a differentiating process among those who have dedicated themselves to Costa Rican literature. With this purpose, the nationalist literary controversy of 1894 is reconsidered from the perspective of the cultural market problematic and its transnational dimension. The main trends are also identified
in relation to writers of both sexes who for various reasons left Costa Rica from the end of the 19th century and throughout the 20th. Finally, the particular cases of Manuel González Zeledón, Luis Barrantes Molina and Yolanda Oreamuno Unger are analyzed to investigate how the displacement impacted their identity, their literary production and their deliberate memorial undertakings.
