Description

For America's native peoples, Fabian writes, the sky is a daily - and nightly - influence on their society and culture. In a comprehensive study of a lowland South American people's astronomy, he explains how the Bororo Indians of Brazil integrate the social, natural and cosmic dimensions of time and space into their environment. Fabian introduces the Bororo by recounting a newly collected version of their birdnester myth that alludes to the spatial dimensions that govern Bororo village organization. Time is mapped onto the circular village structure, astronomical observations plot the nature and location of daily activities, and the perimeter of the settlement is synchronized with circadian and seasonal cycles. The village itself acts as a retrieval and classification system that functions much as lists or tables would in a literate society. By using extensive cross-cultural materials and a holistic approach that emphasizes relationships rather than objects, Fabian lets the Bororo speak for themselves. His interpretive work combines myth and folklore with personal interviews, archival research, and discussion of his own participation in ceremonies and secular activities during the ten-month period he and his wife lived among the Bororo. Of interest to anthropologists, folklorists, ethnoastronomers, and students of religion, ""Space-time of the Bororo of Brazil"" shows that the Bororo animate a complex, rational system, a realization, Fabian writes, ""that must both broaden and deepen our understanding, appreciation and respect for all native societies"".
