其他摘要:Based on original material the author analyses the Ayoreo cosmology. She describes earth, heaven and underworld domains, pointing out the importance of myth deriving from facts that support the existence of human and mythical beings, animals, vegetables, etc., and founds the relationship among them. The author takes into account the ideas of mythical ancestry, sacred power and taboo that integrate the structure of thought and meaning of the Ayoreos representation of the world.
