| Diğer Bilgiler: | In this article, two texts from Malecu oral tradition related to the contact and confrontation of this Costa Rican indigenous people with the Spanish conquerors led by Christopher Columbus are commented. The first text seems to be a reformulation of a story from the second half of the XIX century in which the Malecu were chased by rubber makers of Hispanic origin who invaded their territory. The second text is very probably constructed from information recently acquired concerning current indigenous peoples, but it contains traces of possible former oral traditions. In both cases, information from different historic periods are incorporated in old narrative outlines, resulting, therefore, in an anachronistic one, from a Hispanic historiographic perspective. Our proposal, however, is that this is actually due to a process of retraditionalization. |
