| Resumo: | This paper analyzes the symbolism of the so-called Flyers Dance from a different point of view of the more generally accepted theory of the dance having essentially a solar connotation, as stated by Stresser-Péan. This study considers the dance as characterized by a hurricane logic, derived from my fieldwork in Tajín, and in other places and communities such as Plan de Hidalgo and Sierra Norte de Puebla.I take into consideration the fact that people who still perform the Flyers Dance such as Totonacs, Huastecs, Tepehua, Nahuas and Otomís talk about a single symbolism, which, according to Stresser- Péan, seems derived from the tolteca age. At least amongst the Totonac, as well as the Quichés form Guatemala, the dance had and still has characterisitics associated to the hurricane. |
