Abstract

ABSTRACT Peru is a multicultural country, with a wide wealth of languages and traditions. However, most of the contributions from the Andean and Amazon areas have suffered segregation by members of the majority culture, represented by the Spanish language and centralised in the coastal cities. For this reason, migration to these territories has included the concealment of the mother tongue, cultural mimicry and the loss of identity values. For this reason, this study seeks to achieve the opposite effect: to revalue the Quechua language through the presentation and compilation of oral myths from different Andean localities, thanks to the conception, performance and style of a group of students of the Beca 18 program at a private university from Lima. This means revaluing the cultural elements that are part of the identity of these students, specifying the activity as a form of cultural strengthening, and recovering the myth as a manifestation of oral literature in the Peruvian environment, as well as in the official spaces of culture majority.

神话与身份:秘鲁大学背景下的口头传统汇编

秘鲁是一个多元文化的国家，有着丰富的语言和传统。然而，来自安第斯和亚马逊地区的大部分移民都受到了以西班牙语为代表的多数文化成员的隔离，这些文化集中在沿海城市。因此，向这些领土的移民包括隐藏母语、文化模仿和身份价值的丧失。出于这个原因，本研究试图达到相反的效果:通过介绍和汇编来自安第斯山脉不同地区的口头神话，重新重视盖丘亚语，这要归功于利马一所私立大学Beca 18项目的一群学生的概念、表演和风格。这意味着重新评估作为这些学生身份一部分的文化元素，将活动指定为文化强化的一种形式，并在秘鲁环境中恢复神话作为口头文学的表现形式，以及在文化主流的官方空间中。
