Résumé
"This article sets out to interpret two Cuzco Quechua versions of the pan-Andean tale known as ?Juan Oso? or ?The Bear?s Son?. The analysis of the story?s symbolism sheds light on the profound logic on which it is based: human and civilized society cannot survive without establishing interchange and cooperation with wild beings from the other world. The protagonist, the son of the priest and the she-bear, as well as the priest himself, are the mediator heroes of a tale whose logic also applies to interethnic relationships in the Andes."
