| Summary: | A study of the fictional space of the novels of José María Arguedas, in particular Yawar Fiesta, is proposed in terms of the dual Andean structural principles, yanantin and masintin, which have been recognized since the 1970's. In this novel, the principle of géographic and social complementary relationship, yanantin, is used to explain the different origins attributed to the bull, Misitu, and the way the different communities respond to him. The masintin principle implies identity, solidarity and equivalency between the members that it unites. The combination of these principles is utilized to propose an explanation of the dynamics of the “ritual battles”, of which the Pukllay is one type. Yawar Fiesta and the Turupukllay, represented in this novel, are brought into focus using this interpretation. |
