Abstract

This article will analyze two legends collected in Susacón, Boyacá, in light of the concept of chronotope developed by Mikhail Bakhtin, in order to unveil some symbolic elements pertaining to the cultural construction of the human in the traditional literature of collective and oral roots. First, the story of La Llorona will be observed under different circumstances in which the presence of water is active. Then, the relationship between Leprechaun and air will be reviewed, having as central axis a popular story collected in several voices in which this character kidnaps a child.
