Abstract
VALDERRAMA RENTERIA, Carlos Alberto. Literary Art and Oral Construction of the Territory. Afrocolombian Critical Thought. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2018, vol.54, n.2, pp.93-117. ISSN 0486-6525. https://doi.org/10.22380/2539472x.463.
In this article, I examine ideas of territoriality and oral tradition in Rogerio Velásquez‘s intellectual and political thought. I use his concept of palenque literario and argue that this expression reflects an intellectual construction that offers elements for considering Afrocolombian critical thought. I propose to understand this concept as a form of struggle typical of the war of position described by Antonio Gramsci. This study draws from critical anthropology, critical race theory, and Black politics perspectives to historicize the meanings and uses of the concepts of oral tradition and territoriality in Rogerio Velásquez's folkloric and ethnographic writings published in the 1960s.
Keywords : Afrocolombian critical thought; oral tradition; territoriality; palenque literario.
