Colonial writing: agencing of bodies and non-typographic languages

Abstract

European writing burst into the Latin American space during the Conquest. Various testimonies reveal these dynamics of hierarchisation and domination of voices and non-typographic languages. This article seeks to re-contextualize the agencing of knowledge and bodies based on the consideration of theological and epistemological presuppositions about truth and the preeminence of Logos, and how the voice turned body in the songs and dances of the Native Americans, as elusive phenomena in this process, were regarded.
