KOBAYASHI, Munehiro. Invention of Memories of Resistance Through the Rewriting of Indigenous Stories: An Approach to Decipher the Stories Told by the Ancients in the Zapatista Narratives. Entrediversidades rev. cienc. soc. humanid. [online]. 2022, vol.9, n.1, pp.118-147. Epub 15-Mar-2023. ISSN 2007-7610. https://doi.org/10.31644/ed.v9.n1.2022.a05.
This contribution proposes to analyze how the stories told by the ancients have been processed in the Zapatista narratives, through the rewriting of several indigenous stories. These stories talk about how the various gods created the worlds that were incomplete. We illustrate how various themes from these stories are used in order to produce a Zapatista language to awaken the forgotten peoples. We consider the cosmogonic stories of the creation of the sun and moon, as well as the creation of mankind, would be the result of the fusion of several mythical stories of Mesoamerican indigenous peoples. Also, we analyze the stories in which the characters and themes of the Popol Vuh appear, to investigate what logic is used to transform them into other new stories. We then point out that the themes of the stories and discourses on the perverse world after the arrival of the foreigners have been appropriated from the classic source about the Caste War of Yucatan. And, finally, we show how in recent histories there is an increase in prophetic elements that preach the behavior to be followed in the near future.
