Cases

The events or happenings are collective narrations and perceived as "historical". The term "event" is preferible to "anecdote" because very often the anecdote may be a story of customs which has undergone a process of contextualization. All the same, since oral genres are very unstable and permeable, we have classified as events a wide range of stories about crimes, offence, pranks, incidents, misunderstandings, etc. That we could charactreize as anecdotes or real happenings. Sometimes, they can be confused with a subgenre of the legend, called the "anti-legend", but caracterizes and difines them is the precision in time and space and in the leading characters and the absence of a surprising or fantastic narrative element in favour of an explanation. The truthfulness is emphasized and the versions and data is contasted.
