| contents | El zorro del cielo: un mito sobre el origen de las plantas cultivadas y los intercambios con el mundo sobrenatural César Itier Multidisciplinarias (Ciencias Sociales) The author proposes an interpretation of an Andean tale concerning a trip to heaven made by the ancestor of foxes. In southern Peru and in Bolivia, the different versions of this myth explain either the origin of cultivated plants or that of foxes. On the basis of a sequential analysis aiming at deciphering the symbolism of the narration, the author shows that this myth represents the view point of the highland shepherds regarding their seasonal contacts with communities dwelling in the valleys, particularly from the onset of the month of April, when the shepherds come down to the valleys to work for the cereal growing farmers. The myth presents the complementarity between two ecological levels as being similar to that established between man and the supernatural world. These two closely associated systems of complementarity appear to be a necessary condition for agricultural fecundity. This analysis is based on two Quechuan versions of the myth, recorded in the province of Quispicanchis (Department of Cuzco, Peru) and transcribed and translated in appendix to this article. 1997 artículo científico 0303-7495 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=12626302 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=126 Bulletin de l'Institut français d'études andines application/pdf Instituto Francés de Estudios Andinos Bulletin de l'Institut français d'études andines (Perú) Num.3 Vol.26 |
