Interpretaciones del cristianismo en la tradición oral andina: Arguedas, Condori Mamani y el mito del Inkarrí
Keywords:
Inkarrí, José María Arguedas, Condori Mamani, oral tradition, ChristianityAbstract
This work explores the interaction of the Andean oral tradition and biblical texts through the short story “The Dream of the Pongo,” reproduced by José María Arguedas, various versions of the Inkarrí myth; and the testimony of Gregorio Condori Mamani, collected by Ricardo Valderrama and Carmen Escalante. Beyond describing the traces of Christianity in these oral narratives, this article asks about the transformations that the indigenous voice exerts on the Western Catholic religion. It seeks to demonstrate how the evocation of Christianity from the indigenous perspective can reveal discontent, disagreement, resistance, resentment, or denunciations in the face of a social environment of historical oppression, violence, and discrimination.
