Resumen
Este trabajo indaga en las instrucciones y los registros producidos a partir de la Encuesta Nacional de Folklore de 1921, organizada por el Consejo Nacional de Educación con la intención de recopilar “tradiciones populares marcadamente antiguas” (Ramos, 1921: 15). Se trabaja a partir del análisis de las instrucciones y de un conjunto de respuestas clasificadas con la categoría “conocimientos populares de la ciencia”. En particular, se eligieron respuestas que mencionan “objetos del pasado”, incluidas noticias, sitios y objetos arqueológicos y paleontológicos. El objetivo consiste en mostrar que gran parte de lo que se ha clasificado como saber popular está mediado por las lecturas propias de la educación docente, no muy diferente de la formación que tenían quienes crearon la encuesta. En este sentido, el análisis permite evidenciar cómo se superponen capas de saberes, donde los maestros recurren a su formación docente y a referencias de “expertos” en ciertas temáticas; a la vez que se apropian de los hallazgos e investigaciones científicas, y los resignifican al considerar estas prácticas como parte del acervo folklórico y popular de la región.
This paper investigates the instructions and records produced from the 1921’s National Folklore Survey, organized by the National Council of Education with the intention of collecting “markedly ancient folk traditions” (Ramos, 1921: 15). This paper is based on the analysis of the instructions and a set of answers classified under the category “popular knowledge of science”. The responses chosen were the ones that mention “objects from the past”, including archaeological and paleontological news, sites and objects. The purpose is to show that much of what has been classified as popular knowledge is mediated by the readings of teacher’s education, which is not very different from the training of those who created the survey. In this sense, the analysis shows how layers of knowledge are overlapped, with teachers drawing on their training and references to “experts” in certain subjects. At the same time, they appropriate scientific findings and research, and re-signify them by considering these practices as part of the folkloric and popular heritage of the region.
