oral literature, conceptual hypertrophy, orality, literacy, literary studiesAbstract
This article intends to unveil the conceptual hypertrophy that is suffered by oral literature with the aim of analyze and strengthen the basic ideas that have been the foundation of many of the researches around the phenomenon. Through the hermeneutical methodology, an argumentative analysis of the premise is presented, which constitutes the starting point to reject the idea of oral literature: Walter Ong’s analogy. Afterwards, the false analogy that comes along Ong’s proposal and the discussion about the possible pertinence of the nominalization oral literature is explained.
