JOHANSSON, Patrick. El sentido y los sentidos en la oralidad náhuatl prehispánica. Acta poét [online]. 2005, vol.26, n.1-2, pp.515-546. ISSN 2448-735X.

During the XVIth century, oral prehispanic literature was written down by Spanish priests as a religious strategy to know better the Other. Texts were transcribed according to priests criteria, who decided on the contents. They kept from oral utterances what they considered "good" and the "wrong" was eliminated. Although writing preserved prehispanic texts from loss, all the alterations they suffered, also transformed our knowledge of them. Writing down oral texts also implied impoverishing them. On one hand all the musical and gestual elements of the performance were excluded; on the other, the main role taken by the written word did not belong to the prehispanic context. In this paper, I will propose several strategies to recreate Mexican prehispanic oral texts in a multi-layered semiotic context.
