In this essay, we will approach the subject of oral tradition from the very general framework of the relationship between language and cultural identity. The first part of this text is introductory in character and deals with several of the theoretical principles regarding the role of language as a condition for the development of knowledge. The second part applies these principles to oral traditional, which we consider to be the way in which members of societies without writing (first orality) or with some knowledge of writing (second orality) assimilate their specific cultural features. The third part takes a deeper look at the opposition between orality and writing, drawing from linguistic theory to enumerate a set of constituent features of oral discourse. The fourth part is dedicated to a case study: the role of the oral tradition for an indigenous population involved in a process of cultural change, in specific the Coyaima located in the southern part of Colombia. Nowadays, this group has a population of 3000, and in light of the fact that some historians and Colombian anthropologists have affirmed that are no remaining descendants of the Pijaos and as such, do not include us in the textbooks, I testify that we are still living on in spite of history. This is the reason why I, as a native Coyaima, continue with my commitment to give a voice to my people through writing. |
