Abstract

This paper studied the Jatakas, Buddhist stories in the sixth century BC that recount the past lives of Shakyamuni Buddha. Discusses its purpose and meaning, contextualizing them in the Buddhist Teachings. Analyzes the representation of memory as oral transmission and its subsequent process of materialization in brackets in text, from its most famous translation titled "The Jataka or stories of the Buddha's former birthsâ€, and under different incarnations of imagery through paintings and sculptures in shrines, temples, caves and museum pieces. Demonstrates how Jatakas, understood as a phenomenon of consciousness, found corresponding as Infocomunicacional process, in which information and communication contributed to its dissemination and preservation through the centuries, languages, space and materiality.
