oral stories, úza' worldview, cultural meaningsAbstract
This writing refers to the analysis of two oral accounts of the úza' culture and is part of a research work on oral tradition carried out in Ranzo úza' (Mission of Chichimecas), a community located in the municipality of San Luis de la Paz, northeast of the state of Guanajuato, Mexico. The work proposes a study based on the proposal of Teun A. van Dijk, where the organization of macrostructures and superstructures guides us to develop textual analysis. In the same way, we delve into the actions of the characters to establish their importance and cultural function. In the selected stories, the animals represent a part of the worldview of the úza' community,'; The sierpe and The rabbit and the coyote are a sample of stories that struggle to stay in a space and era where culture is in a critical situation of disappearance.
