MIST, LITERATURE, CREATION AND DEATH THROUGH A MESOAMERICAN MYTH

Abstract

Sigmund Freud, in On the memories (1899), indicates that often scenes are created unconsciously in the form of literary; concealed memories. Almost always known facts, which are blocked, mute, isolated, as much from what has produced them, as from the memory, so that they do not yet constitute events. They are excluded from the existence of the subject. Psychoanalysis is then about the writing of events. In the analytical space, one verbalizes, narrates, tells, tells stories, reads what has never been said and what has never been told. what has never been said before and what is put into action from its scriptural bond, shaping experiences as events in the subject's life.

Understanding the above we put the reading Tamoanchan y Tlalocan in the center of this work, following Alfredo López- Austin´s recommendation, according to which, in order to study traditional Mesoamerican myths, it is necessary to limit the scope of the investigation, as this world is very extensive and even though reading always throws up general considerations, it will be important to choose a myth or mythical cycle as a case.

In this work, we focus on locating the opaque colors which are painted and tell us about the places Tamoanchan y Tlalocan, misty places, which are shown with the poetry through the ups and downs of what we call worlds. Like Freud, the pre-Hispanic cosmos realized that it was necessary to make space for the creation, a misty place in which life and literary events are forged.
