Le llevo el libro, le explico de qu\u00e9 se trata y mi amigo se sorprende de que el h\u00e9roe de esas f\u00e1bulas sea un conejo p\u00edcaro, en lugar de, por ejemplo, una amorosa mam\u00e1 gorila o un afectuoso t\u00edo oso. Perturbado por su comentario y convencido de que en estas diferencias culturales hay algo m\u00e1s que simples juegos de ni\u00f1os, me pongo a averiguar sobre el asunto. <\/p>\n<p>En otras culturas tambi\u00e9n hay personajes p\u00edcaros, por supuesto, pero no son tan famosos, no est\u00e1n representados por un conejo, sino por un zorro \u2014como en El zorro y el cuervo de La Fontaine\u2014 y casi siempre salen perdiendo. \u00bfC\u00f3mo explicar el hecho de que Colombia \u2014como en Venezuela y en muchos otros pa\u00edses latinoamericanos\u2014 el conejo salga ganando y sea nuestro h\u00e9roe infantil? A mi juicio, la raz\u00f3n es esta: el conejo representa mejor que nadie el triunfo de la astucia, que es nuestra virtud social favorita. A pesar de no tener colmillos, ni garras, ni fortaleza f\u00edsica, como el tigre o el elefante, el conejo con su picard\u00eda y sus trampas, siempre gana.<\/p>\n<p>A diferencia de otras f\u00e1bulas que inculcan la bondad o la compasi\u00f3n, las historias de T\u00edo Conejo exaltan la viveza. Con esto no quiero decir que nuestras habilidades para la viveza y la trampa las hayamos aprendido en los cuentos que le\u00edmos cuando ni\u00f1os, tampoco quiero decir lo contrario, es decir que como desde chiquitos somos vivos y tramposos, nos gusta leer esas historias. Lo que afirmo es ambas cosas a la vez: que somos as\u00ed y que, como somos as\u00ed, reproducimos esa manera de ser a trav\u00e9s de nuestros mitos (infantiles).<\/p>\n<p>Nuestra admiraci\u00f3n por el conejo no resulta de una preferencia por los d\u00e9biles o por los pobres, como en muchos cuentos infantiles europeos, sino de una preferencia por los vivos (que s\u00f3lo a veces son pobres). M\u00e1s a\u00fan, en el imaginario infantil, la debilidad s\u00f3lo es motivo de menosprecio, como en la historia de Pedro Urdimales, una especie de encarnaci\u00f3n humana del conejo, que se aprovecha sin piedad de Juan Bobo. Lo mismo sucede con otros personajes como Pedro Rimales en Venezuela, o Pito P\u00e9rez en M\u00e9xico o Cociaca en Medell\u00edn. No es la debilidad lo que hace al personaje un h\u00e9roe criollo, sino su capacidad para burlarse, para enga\u00f1ar y, sobre todo, para ganar.<\/p>\n<p>Los vivos de nuestros cuentos populares son peque\u00f1os h\u00e9roes que van ganando batallas a los poderosos, a los ricos, a los avaros o simplemente a los descuidados. Sus triunfos no son tanto el producto de la maldad, como de las circunstancias desafortunadas en las que les toc\u00f3 vivir. Si ganan es porque alguien tiene que ganar en este mundo cruel, sin reglas y sin una autoridad. El vivo es un malo bueno, o un malo que se autojustifica por el mundo en el que vive.<\/p>\n<p>En la cultura popular se encuentran, a veces, algunas claves de nuestra concepci\u00f3n del mundo social que son mucho m\u00e1s dicientes que los sesudos tratados de teor\u00eda social o pol\u00edtica que se han escrito y, por supuesto, que dicen mucho m\u00e1s de lo que somos \u2014como las historias de T\u00edo Conejo\u2014 que nuestras leyes o nuestros s\u00edmbolos patrios. \u00bfO acaso en el Escudo Nacional no tenemos un magn\u00edfico c\u00f3ndor de los Andes en lugar de un simple conejo sabanero?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A foreigner friend of mine asked me if I could recomend him any tale in spanish for his 6-year old kid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1022],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26294","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","medium-el-espectador-en","post-scope-aaa-not-blog"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) -
