- W172194565 abstract "We are here to honor Americo Paredes. We heard yesterday and today of Don Americo's many contributions to our fields of interest. I never had the privilege of meeting him. But, from my personal perspective, I would like to mention first of all his Texas-Mexican Cancionero (1976), which captures superbly the highly distinctive traditional poetry of the lower border and its complex cultural ambiance. For me, as a romancista, this splendid book has been of great use in identifying some of those various Pan-Hispanic ballad narratives which were taken over into the corrido tradition and were dynamically and poetically recreated by corndo singers. From the perspective of a person who has spent the last half-century studying the Medieval Spanish epic and the Pan-Hispanic narrative ballad tradition-the Romancero-Americo Paredes's path finding book about the corrido of Gregorio Cortes (1958) is even more important for several reasons. In this pioneering book, Americo Paredes demonstrated, in the most elegant and eloquent terms, how a narrative poem in the oral tradition is continually recreated, reshaped, and reinterpreted by traditional singers as it is passed on from one generation to another, in a dynamic process of poetic creativity. Americo Paredes's book is a milestone; it was, it is, and it will continue to be of transcendent importance for our correct understanding of the corrido and for all subsequent studies of corrido poetry. Let us look for a moment at the work of another great explorer of Hispanic traditional poetry: Paul Benichou should also be honored as one of the founding fathers of modern studies of the Hispanic traditional ballad. Mi maestro, Paul Benichou has been, without doubt, the most important role model and mentor of my own Hispanic ballad research. Paul Benichou, in his late 80s, died at home in Paris, in May 2001, leaving us all deeply saddened and bereaved by his departure. In 1944, 1954, and 1963-64, Benichou published a series of brilliant, highly original articles concerning the modern Hispanic ballad tradition, as an ongoing process of poetic creativity. These articles culminated in the publication, in 1968, of a path-breaking book, Creation poetica en el romancero traditional, a book that established the groundwork for future research on Hispanic ballads in oral tradition.2 The publication of Americo Paredes's book on Gregorio Cortes (1958) and Paul Benichou's Creation poetica (1968) represent two very positive, ground-breaking landmarks. What is, I believe, not so positive a factor is that neither of these great scholars was aware of what the other one was doing. Don Americo did not know of Benichou's early work, nor did Benichou know about Gregorio Cortes. Corridas and romances both are ballads and both are still alive today in the Hispanic oral tradition. There are, as we shall see presently, many features that they share in common. Yet the circumstances attendant upon the creation-the brilliant and mutually independent creation-of these two crucial books, Americo Paredes's Gregorio Cortes and Paul Benichou's Creation poetica, bespeak, as much from one side as from another, a disciplinary insularity from whose eventual disappearance both corrido studies and romance studies would greatly benefit. Corrido scholars could certainly benefit from knowing more about romance studies and romanceristas could benefit incalculably from learning more about corridos, a still living and still very creative ballad tradition, whose contemporary traditional life, in many ways, replicates the conditions under which romances were created, at their very origins, in the 14th and 15th centuries, and continued to be re-created on up into the contemporary tradition. In many ways, romance and corrida reach out to one another-Se dan la mano. And scholarship about these two genres would gain from doing likewise. We need to build bridges. That the corrido is a uniquely important, highly distinctive, highly creative manifestation of Mexican and Chicano culture is indubitably correct. …" @default.
