Abstract

The literature of the Colombian Pacific is a niche to understand rhythms of life consistent with the so-called slow movement. The works of Arnoldo Palacios and Óscar Collazos, authors from Chocó, offers a propitious panorama for this type of descriptive analysis: they allow a methodological answer to the question of how to analyze rhythm and from what references to define the concept. Other rhythms will be described starting from music and philosophy. The Colombian Pacific as a culture described through literature, has a wide potential to expand the field of Colombian Literature and the canon towards the peripheries of the country.
