La «ecuación oralidad-escritura» en las letras hispánicas de los siglos xv-xvii (propuestas en torno a un diálogo en ciernes)

I describe diverse studies about orality in Spanish literature of the Golden Age as some kind of blossoming dialogue, to which I add my own apostilles. The largest part of these studies —philological and linguistic— identify orality —whithout defining it— with the conversational mimesis and ephemeral literature. Then, taking as a point of departure the theories of Zumthor, Havelock and Ong’s I advance some theoretical and methodological proposals that differentiate living orality as in oral text and the voice in the writing and the conversational mimesis. Finally, I apply these proposals to the analysis of passages in La Celestina and La Loazana Andaluza in order to contextualize the golden age literary corpus as a set of variables in the oral-written equation, namely, as a superposition and interpretation of diverse production, transmission and textual reception techniques.
