Literatura Indígena Colombiana

Abstract

The creation of the Study Group with the students of the Colombian Literature course of the Degree in Philosophy and Spanish Language of the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the Santo Tomás University, conceptualizes, articulates and puts into practice the formative research for the realization, production and editing of pedagogical videos on topics and authors of Colombian literature, thus contributing to "the pedagogical strategy for the formation of capacities in STI" with which the University is committed. As a snack, the pedagogical material motivates, interrogates and questions various topics when trying to address the study and deepening of Colombian Indigenous Literature. Every day it is opening its own space by itself in the canonical corpus of Colombian literature, since there are many manifestations of Colombian indigenous literature that come from oral tradition and have passed into writing, for example, La Leyenda de Yurupary. and the Epic of Gitoma, two legends as an expression of life and mythical and also ritual experience, such as rite, myth, magic, dance, coca and bambeo, the culture of yajé in indigenous communities. In this sense, it is important to take into account and try to resolve questions such as: the passage from the oral word to the written word in our legends and myths, the importance of remembering and deepening the ancestral wisdom today; establish the difference in the reading experience, when approaching a work of indigenous literature to a conventional work and finally, understand the current situation of the current descendants of indigenous cultures in our country.
