Abstract

NALLIM, María Alejandra. Voice and memory: Myth, history and lliterature in the tizonian story - telling. Cuad. Fac. Humanid. Cienc. Soc., Univ. Nac. Jujuy [online]. 2002, n.19, pp.39-49. ISSN 1668-8104.

To retell a story is to populate the memory, carefully protected by History and Myth; is to notarise the files of "orality" (speaking); is to relate a vision of the uncovered but at the same time hidden world. The voices of myth and history turn into fiction within the tizonian narrative. While bringing this stories together, he preserves them, but he also betrays them through the use of a strange code: writing is his means of translating the spoken word. Tizon's literature questions the exchanges and violations of both codes and imposes the writing of speaking and the language of silence as representations of the eclectic voice of culture. Speaking and writing are the basis of a discourse distinguished by the seal of crime: the expropriations and denials, the integrations and uprootings of a cultural periphery are registered in it.
