ANALISIS DEL PATRIMONIO CULTURAL DE LA LEYENDA DEL SILBON

This academic project explores the Colombian legend of <i>El Silbón</i> through multidisciplinary lenses, examining its role as a myth in shaping ethics, emotions, social norms, identity, and economic potential. Analyzed from theories by Durkheim, Aristotle, Plutchik, Moscovici, and Harvey, <i>El Silbón</i> is shown to function as a pedagogical, symbolic, and cultural resource. The study reveals its adaptability to modern media, its emotional and psychological depth, and its use in tourism, ritual, and intergenerational transmission. It argues that the legend is not only a vessel of fear but also of identity, memory, and community resilience.<b>Keywords:</b><br>Myth, Identity, Emotion, Culture, Transmission
