Escritura y tradición oral en una comunidad mixe

The production of written texts by speakers of Amerindian languages raises questions about the relationship between orality and writing in a context in which the indigenous language is opposed to the imposed language, and where narration occupies a central place in the reproduction and recreation of a cultural universe transmitted orally. From this premise, this paper reflects on the concept of margin through the analysis of two texts, one oral and the other written, in order to highlight the paradoxical centrality of writing in a culture of oral tradition.
