Las dimensiones de la inteligencia astuta y el engaño en la herencia cultural: trickster y Metis como fguras dialógicas

Abstract

This paper reviews the representations of the folkloric fgure of Trickster and the Greek fgure of Metis as dialogic images and transcultural, two-sided symbols linked to a capable cunning intelligence and its ability to deconstruct common representations and create paradoxes that promote knowledge. Several texts and intercultural milestones are proposed as case studies.
