Since the 1970s, in different Nasa indigenous regions of the Colombian Cauca, processes of recovery of their own cosmogonies through alphabetic writing - both in Spanish and in Nasa Yuwe - have been strengthened by Nasa people. Driven both endogenously and exogenously, the operations of writing their own myths have taken shape under heterogeneous and, in some cases, contrasting cultural matrices. In some of these productions it is possible to identify traits common to different contemporary indigenous textualities, which entail a dynamic of subversive appropriation of the traditionally hegemonic tool of alphabetic writing. These textualities are characterised by their oralithegraphic and intercultural dimension, and by their implementation of an autonomous conception of their own word. With this in mind, we propose an analytical journey through the different written versions of Juan Tama's Nasa cosmogonic account and a specific study of the oralithegraphic version produced by the Nasa designer Gustavo Yonda. In a perspective of pluriversal and futural analysis in the approach to indigenous literary productions, and with the methodological support of notions of local knowledge such as palabrandar and nasakiwe, the contemporary version of the myth of Juan Tama is interpreted as an expression of epistemic insurgence of their own knowledge in its renewed contemporary vitality, through a production interwoven between oral art, alphabetical writing and visual art.

Abstract
Since the 1970s, in different Nasa indigenous regions of the Colombian Cauca, processes of recovery of their own cosmogonies through alphabetic writing - both in Spanish and in Nasa Yuwe - have been strengthened by Nasa people. Driven both endogenously and exogenously, the operations of writing their own myths have taken shape under heterogeneous and, in some cases, contrasting cultural matrices. In some of these productions it is possible to identify traits common to different contemporary indigenous textualities, which entail a dynamic of subversive appropriation of the traditionally hegemonic tool of alphabetic writing. These textualities are characterised by their oralithegraphic and intercultural dimension, and by their implementation of an autonomous conception of their own word. With this in mind, we propose an analytical journey through the different written versions of Juan Tama's Nasa cosmogonic account and a specific study of the oralithegraphic version produced by the Nasa designer Gustavo Yonda. In a perspective of pluriversal and futural analysis in the approach to indigenous literary productions, and with the methodological support of notions of local knowledge such as palabrandar and nasakiwe, the contemporary version of the myth of Juan Tama is interpreted as an expression of epistemic insurgence of their own knowledge in its renewed contemporary vitality, through a production interwoven between oral art, alphabetical writing and visual art.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
