The Kidnapped Bride
Abstract
Il s'agit essentiellement d'une analyse de mythes tsimshian qui commence par le ravissement d'une princesse par les Grizzly et qui se termine par le ravissement de la fiancée de son fils par les Epaulards. Le héros, Gunaxnesemgad, va à la rescousse de sa femme et la sauve avant qu'on ne lui soude au dos une nageoire d'épaule. On se propose de démontrer la nécessité logique du ravissement : les Epaulards essaient de transformer la fiancée d'incorrecte en correct, mais le héros la secourt trop tot. Cet article explore la relation entre mythe et structure sociale, et la nature des caractéristiques de l'action mythique qui rend possible l'analyse comparative des mythes.
