| Sumario: | Bamba’s legend has spreaded all over Córdoba for hundreds of years ago, written in verse towards the year 1933 by Ataliva Herrera, a poet from Cruz del Eje. It has led to a construction, in a highland area, of a monument that represents it.This legendary character appears in various tales as Indian, mestizo, black or mulatto. This ambiguity about categories with which, both in the oral and written narratives, indicate the character of the legend, seem to represent historical mechanisms of stigmatization towards a group dealt by the dominant power as homogeneous at the same time as variously nominated. On the other hand, in the poem, the white stereotype is unmarked, qualifying it only from the patriarchal representative virtues of the masculine and feminine. For this reason, maybe the antagonism is not described by the opposition white/black, but the dialectical between group/individual whilst the group would refer to people represented by a limited and irrational behavior pattern, against individualities whit name and surname, whit heterogeneous and civilized attitudes. So my purpose is to investigate certain internalized structures of the different definition of other, from the legend of an enslaved in the colonial era, at the same time I reflect about why a tale whose main event is a kidnapping of a woman, is considered a love story. |
