Abstract
MARTOS-GARCIA, Aitana and MARTOS-GARCIA, Alberto. The dimensions of cunning intelligence and the deceit within cultural inheritance: Trickster and Mễtis as dialogic figures. Co-herencia [online]. 2017, vol.14, n.27, pp.129-155. ISSN 1794-5887. https://doi.org/10.17230/co-herencia.14.27.6.
This paper reviews the representations of the folkloric figure of Trickster and the Greek figure of Mễtis as dialogic images and transcultural, two-sided symbols linked to a capable cunning intelligence and its abili ty to deconstruct common representations and create paradoxes that promote knowledge. Several texts and intercultural milestones are proposed as case studies.
