| Sumario: | The aim of this article is to analyze rhetoric expressions of corporality dealing with mutilation, in Argentinean folk narratives collected in an ethnographic research in La Rioja, Argentina. I select narrative versions of three folk matrices: “The lower world”, “Cairé” (“Fear test: staying in a haunted house where corpse drops down chimney”) and “The maiden without hands”. I focus my attention in the tension between a synechdotic logic of corporal fragmentation and a metaphoric condensation of the body as a complete entity. I consider as well embodiment as a narrative construction dealing with discursive expressions of local beliefs. |
