%X introduction: the theory of testimonial literature in latin america emerged from two works (biography of a runaway slave and i, rigoberta mench¨²), is based on the marxist concept of class struggle, and acknowledges only one type. testimonios that do not fit this model have lost importance or been ignored. objective: to explore the main ideas and issues in the theory surrounding testimonial literature, and to analyze the discussions that brought the genre to a close; these discussions did not take into account the fact that the theoretical-methodological crisis affected the field of testimonial studies but did not affect the creation of new testimonios. method: critical literature review. results: although testimonial studies have entered a crisis, new testimonios continue to be produced. conclusions: we posit the need to rekindle the debate based on different corpora and other categories of analysis.
