Resumen
Descripción
El presente artículo se plantea si es posible hablar de literaturas precolombinas, teniendo en cuenta que estas son el resultado de un complejo proceso de alfabetización realizado durante la Colonia. El planteamiento es una propuesta de clasificación que diferencia transcripciones, adaptaciones e interpolaciones, como procedimientos posibles en la progresiva constitución del corpus literario precolombino, en correspondencia con la menor o mayor presencia de elementos foráneos o coloniales dentro de la tradición oral ancestral. Con todo, ya sean entendidas como versiones occidentales escritas de la oralidad prehispánica o como memoria cultural colonizada, las literaturas precolombinas son una realidad estética y cultural que reclama una mayor atención en el campo de los estudios literarios.
This paper questions whether it is possible to talk about pre-Columbian literatures, considering that those woks are the result of a complex literacy process carried out during the colonial period. This approach is a classification proposal that differentiates transcripts, adaptations and interpolations, such as possible procedures in the progressive composition of the pre-Columbian literary corpus, in consonance with the greater or lesser presence of foreign or colonial elements within the oral ancestral tradition. Yet, whether understood as Western written versions of the pre-Hispanic orality or as colonized cultural memory, the pre-Columbian literatures are an aesthetic and cultural reality that claims far greater attention in the field of literary studies.
