Abstract
LEYVA MOSQUERA, Silvia Daniela. The tsombiach: tecendo a vida entre memôria e tradição. univ.humanist. [online]. 2016, n.81, pp.229-253. ISSN 0120-4807. https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.uh81.ettv.
The tsombiach or traditional wool sash of the Kamentsa indigenous women from the high Putumayo presents symbolically and synthetically, the traditional history of the community and their creators and carriers' personal experiences, who narrate with a particular aesthetic how the weave lifts community life.The article accounts for the interrelationship and integration of this type of textual and oral expression with literature. The methodological keys are based on the the author's ethnographic experience and a theoretical approach from notions of symbolic anthropology and the alternative perspective of heterogeneous literatures.
Keywords : tsombiach; kamentsá; weave; Indigenous literatures; weaver; memory.
