This article proposes an exploratory, panoramic and summary review of the main currents, models, and theories of literature that appear in the articles of the ninety-eight published issues of Revista Chilena de Literatura. This is a diachronic, descriptive, and critical study that follows a content analysis methodology set by Klaus Krippendorf's model. The purpose of this model is to track and map these trends in order to give not only a global image of the state of the matter related to the literary theory and its participation in the formulation of the articles of the magazine, but also to set forth critical views on these approaches. This is a cross-sectional study of historical nature, which aims to link the articles to the various theoretical, critical and speculative traditions about literary studies developed in RCHL.
