Música, danza y oralidad: resistencia campesina en el caribe colombiano. Una lectura decolonial de "Tierra mojada" de Manuel Zapata Olivella

Abstract

The present monograph is an aproach to the novel Tierra mojada (1947) by Manuel Zapata Olivella that has as its main objective to analize from a decolonial perspective the rol of music, dance and orality in the rural resistance process in the colombian Caribbean against the opression. The aproach from a decolonial perspective allows to unveil the forms of domination present in the literary work but also the "revindictive" struggles that emerge as a conterpart of the colonial paradigm. It concludes that cultural expressions such as music, dance and orality of rural people in the Bajo Sinú (Córdoba), and inherited from their african and indigenous ancestors, have a fundamental rol inside the novel as forms of resistance by themselves because they emerged as an alternative to endure the opression that were imposed over them during the colonial period. Now, this cultural background is resumed by the opressed rural people with the same rebel slogan of their ancestors: freedom.
