PALLEIRO, María Inés. Rhetoric expressions of corporality in Argentinean folk narrative. Rev. Mus. Antropol. [online]. 2018, vol.11, suppl.1, pp.35-46. ISSN 1852-060X.
Abstract The aim of this article is to analyze rhetoric expressions of corporality dealing with mutilation, in Argentinean folk narratives collected in an ethnographic research in La Rioja, Argentina. I select narrative versions of three folk matrices: "The lower world", "Cairé" ("Fear test: staying in a haunted house where corpse drops down chimney") and "The maiden without hands". I focus my attention in the tension between a synechdotic logic of corporal fragmentation and a metaphoric condensation of the body as a complete entity. I consider as well embodiment as a narrative construction dealing with discursive expressions of local beliefs.
