Abstract

Due to the tendency to unify an oral and accusatory process system in Colombia, which is relatively recent compared to the consolidated one in its procedural history, this essay seeks to highlight the philosophical and literary foundations that underlie the apparent conflict between writing and orality, revealing the surreptitious question of the validity of legal norms, as well as their manifestations as models of social coercion. In order to do so, we examine some founding accounts of the law as a written prescription and as an oral prescription in order to analyze, later and from Foucault’s perspective, the legal system of ancient Greece and the birth of a contemporary orality structured from the written text.
