That is, the speech made to the linguistic expression. When this happens, can also become a conceptual element, which was very common in the discourse of the '60s and '70s, decades in which Latin America was plagued by fascist military dictatorships. It fought well, the reality with the magical sound feasible, on the one hand, and political reality with language and dislocated times the other. In other words, put into practice the social critique and examination of reality.
