Luis Landriscina, Rural Narrator and Professional Storyteller. From the Folk Tales to the Mass Culture
Keywords:
Short stories, fishermen’s tall tales, oral tradition, Argentina, stereotypes, mass culture, profesional storytellersAbstract
The objective of this article is to analyze the biography, the vital and cultural context, the verbal art, and three tales of lies (two of them take part in the repertoire of the «fishermen's lies»), told by the famous Argentine professional storyteller Luis Landriscina (born 1935). The artist's itinerary is studied from the peasant village, with its essentially oral culture, to the spaces and technologies of mass culture (theaters, cinema, television, records); the coined and exaggerated stereotypes of the narrator of small-town and rural extraction are singularly addressed and delves into the poetics of stories of lies in the first person.
