| contents | Comment meurent les pumas: du mythe au rite à Huaraz (Centre-nord du Pérou) Doris Walter Multidisciplinarias (Ciencias Sociales) HOW PUMAS DIE: MYTH AND RITUAL IN HUARAZ (CENTRAL NORTHERN PERU). This paper presents new ethnographic data on puma symbolism in the Andes. Through samples of speech collected in Quechua in the area of Huaraz (central-northern Peru), I first describe how the animal is collectively perceived. Next, I analyze a myth, also in Quechua, which shows that the puma is a symbolic representation of the ancestors. This above provides the key which enables us to understand the symbolic value of puma fat, as well as an infrequent ritual which is carried out at the moment of death. 1997 artículo científico 0303-7495 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=12626306 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 |
