Sinopsis
Gerardo Reichel-Dolmatoff spent much of his life studying the oral culture of the Tukano Indians in the Northwest Amazon, including 20 years simply learning the four key Tukanoan languages. Through his translations and commentaries of the yurupari fertility mythologem and ritual complex, Tukano oral art is revealed as an important expression of tribal philosophical and religious thought. The four Tukano "texts" in this volume, "speak of emotions, paint images and construct sceneries". They contain coded cultural history and lead us into the meaning of oral traditions: meaning contained in admonitions, instructions, and explanations which constitute the fundamental precepts of social customs, conflict resolution, gender attitudes, and ecology. Reichel-Dolmatoff places the analytical study of South American oral art on a par with the great exegetic traditions of the Old World.

Contraportada
During fifty years in Colombia conducting ethnological, archaeological, and linguistic research, Gerardo Reichel-Dolmatoff devoted considerable time to a study of the Tukano Indians of the Northwest Amazon. The four texts in this volume, part of the yurupari fertility mythologem and ritual complex, "speak of emotion, paint images, construct sceneries". In Tukanoan oral literature, social organization is explained by its relationship to ecology, the hallucinatory sphere becomes a dimension for conflict resolution, and ritual is shown in its aesthetic perspective. To overcome the barrier presented by the tradition in the Northwest Amazon of autochthonous multilingualism, Reichel-Dolmatoff spent twenty years learning four key Tukanoan languages, thus empowering himself to interpret the multivocal meaning of Tukanoan oral lore through an entirely new reading. He places the analytical study of South American oral art on a par with the great exegetic traditions of the Old World. Tukano texts contain coded culture history and lead into the reality of the meaning of oral traditions - meaning contained in admonitions, instructions, and explanations which constitute fundamental precepts referring to social tradition, conflict resolution, gender attitudes, ecology, and many ethical-aesthetical aspects of human motivations and goals. Through Reichel-Dolmatoff's translations and commentaries, Tukano oral art is revealed as an important expression of tribal philosophical and religious thought.
