Abstract
El presente documento trata sobre el imaginario que han ido construyendo las personas del ayllu Sikuya sobre el rol de la escritura. Mientras los pueblos han ido manteniendo sus rasgos culturales gracias a la oralidad de su lengua, el Estado ha lidiado, casi siempre con ellos, usando como medio la letra escrita. Esto ha motivado a estas sociedades a aprender, desde las escuelas, la lengua de sus opresores. La escuela, en sus inicios, fue para aprender los códigos lingüísticos del Estado. En la actualidad, desde el imaginario indígena la letra escrita debe ser aprendida para exigir ante el Estado sus derechos colectivos e individuales, en última instancia para ser reconocidos como ciudadanos. Desde ese ángulo se analiza la dinámica de la escritura grecolatina.
This article is about the ideas that people from ayllu Sikuya have built on the role of writing. While local people have been keeping their cultural traits through spoken language, the Nation - State has always been imposing them the Spanish writing and their own ideas. This fact has forced indigenous societies to learn at schools their oppressors' language. At the beginning, the school was a place to learn the State's language. Today, in the indigenous perception, learning how to write is a mechanism to demand the Government their collective and individual rights in order to be recognized as citizens. From this perspective, we will analyze the dynamics of the Greco-Roman writing.
