Práticas translíngues e transculturais nas artes verbais pemon: considerações a partir de cantos e narrativas orais.

Abstract

This text analyzes two songs performed by Bernaldina José Pedro, Vovó Bernaldina (or Meriná), a macuxi indigenous person, as well as two oral narratives transmitted by Clemente Flores and Alcuíno de Lima, two taurepangues indigenous people. The first song is a simiidin, a type of religious song, and the second is a song produced during the homologation of the TI Raposa Serra do Sol. The songs in question are the starting point for a discussion about the translingual practices that exist in the region and the similarities that this process has with what has been called transculturation by Fernando Ortiz (1983). This text also reflects on how these practices affect the Pemon verbal arts, especially in the case of music (eren) and narrative (panton). The main names to support this discussion are Ortiz (1983) and Ángel Rama (2008), but in addition to them, authors such as Cesáreo de Armellada and Carmela Napolitano (1975), Devair Fiorotti (2018) and Lyll Barceló Sifontes (1979), among others, will be considered.
