The Colección de Folklore de 1921: Multiple authorship in folk lyrical poetry
Keywords:
Colección de Folklore 1921, popular lyric, singer, collectorAbstract
Within the frame of research conducted into popular forms of Latin American poetic discourse, I suggest here an approach to the notion of authorship in the Colección de Folklore that were collected in Argentina in 1921. This collection intended to document popular culture manifestations in Spanish in order to communicate them to different educational fields and as a way to consolidate the so-called «national spirit». This political project was ordered by the ruling elite aimed to retrieve the Hispanic heritage, when millions of migrants from different European countries were transforming the ethnic and social shape of the newly independent country. This work explores texts authorship, more specifically in folk lyrical texts which entail a contact between orality and writing. Likewise, I will examine the figures such as author, reader, copyist and collector, among other possible representations.
