| Sumario: | This article seeks to demonstrate the relevance of the mythical tales and teachings applied by the Kaiowá in their models and practices of producion and reproduction of the social life in their communities. It also constitutes an effort to identify some elements related to their cosmogony. The ethnographic data is from the research carried out by the Kaiowá teacher Misael Concianza Jorge in order to graduate from university. The material was later analyzed by others, along with its author, in order to present it in form of an article, adding bibliographic notes and additional ethnographic data collected by them. This article presents the myth as a special language that expresses, by means of ritual and poetic devices, various aspects of Kaiowá ethics and aesthetics. These tales provide codes for the modes of relationships among the Kaiowá and between them and their others. Among other implications, they explain the configuration of landscape elements. Furthermore, the myth is presented as a literary act, which allows the group to have ritualized tales, think about its origins, meanings and aims of the sociological and cosmological orders. Above all, it entertains the people with meaningful words and images. |
