ResumenEn Texaco hay una tensión constante entre la oralidad y la escritura. Aunque la heroína de la novela se aferre a su palabra criolla, poco a poco debe ir desplazándola por la escritura y por el francés que llegan con la colonización. Sin embargo, para no negar su pasado, ella se ve en la obligación de mezclar su tradición con la impuesta por los colonos. Así, tanto Texaco como su cultura se caracterizarán por la hibridación. La arquitectura y el habla serán el símbolo de la mezcla, del cruce de dos culturas: la alta cultura y la cultura popular. En este trabajo me interesa analizar la obra desde el concepto de hibridación y desde la postura de Ángel Rama en La ciudad letrada -opuesta a la ciudad real-, pues este autor muestra cómo la palabra escrita se constituye en uno de los aparatos culturales que reglamenta la permanencia del poder. Se tendrán en cuenta términos como oralidad, escritura, hibridación y cultura popular. Palabras claveCultura del Caribe, colonialismo, identidad cultural, oralidad, poder político. AbstractIn Texaco, there is constant tension between orality and writing. Although the novel's heroine clings to her creole word, gradually, it becomes displaced by writing and by the French, the language installed in the country during the French colonization. However, not to deny her past, she felt obliged to mix her tradition with that which was imposed by the settlers. Thus, Texaco, and its culture will be characterized by hybridization. The architecture and speech will be symbols of the mixture, the intersection of two cultures: high culture and popular culture. In this paper I want to analyse this work through the concept of hybridization and from the position of Angel Rama in the "written city" -contrary to the real city -as this author shows how the written word is part of the cultural apparatus that regulates the retention of power. Terms such as orality and writing, hybridization and popular culture will be kept in mind.
