Abstract
In this paper we seek to reflect on the complex articulations between orality-gestuality-writing-writing-graffiti that occur in Andean and Amazonian communities. From these practices and experiences we propose the notion of textuality/s escrituoral/s to account for these complex expressive processes that make the voice "live", from memory, but also from contemporary struggles for territory, organization and rituality. First, we propose to break with the writing/orality binarism as a modern and colonial mark that exoticizes and essentializes the Other; then, we conceptualize indigenous scriptural textualities to, finally, show them in the cases of the Quechua Andean Bolivian and Amazonian Shuar spheres.
