Monsieur McGinty est un Indien athapascan tutchone du Grand Nord. Sa terre, c'est le Yukon, près de la frontière avec l'Alaska. Entre 1984 et 1991, Dominique Legros eut la chance de le rencontrer et d'enregistrer la longue histoire du corbeau. Monsieur McGinty était alors l'un des fameux conteurs tutchones, dans la tradition d'un peuple où la littérature orale est d'une grande valeur. De ces rencontres est né ce livre drôle, profond et merveilleux. Le corbeau est à la fois le héros créateur et l'antihéros des peuples du Grand Nord. Il est habile et rusée, prend la forme des humains, trompe son monde, séduit les femmes et, honte à lui, même sa belle-mère. Dans un épisode, il parle à une vierge et se réincarne en faisant pénétrer son esprit dans le ventre de la jeune femme. Lorsque les missionnaires arrivèrent, les Tutchones n'eurent donc aucun mal à être convaincus que Jésus n'était rien d'autre qu'une réincarnation du corbeau. Un oiseau n'a-t-il pas parlé à la Vierge avant qu'elle n'ait elle aussi un bébé ? C'est le corbeau qui, au temps du déluge, reconstruisit la terre ferme telle qu'elle existe encore dans le Nord. C'est lui qui vola le feu, plaça au firmament le soleil, et créa les rivières et les lacs poissonneux. Il vécut des aventures burlesques, habita le ventre d'un poisson-chat, et donna à certains hommes l'idée de se faire femme. La force du livre de Dominique Legros est de nous faire entendre la voix de Monsieur McGinty, sa faconde, son goût d'une langue riche et pleine d'humour pour décrire les choses de la nature. Les pérégrinations du corbeau nous entraînent dans le monde amérindien, à la fois familier et radicalement étranger. Dominique Legros met ainsi au jour une nouvelle ethnologie qui fait ressentir de l'intérieur cet univers où religion et vie sont intimement mêlées. Plus qu'un témoignage, "L'histoire du corbeau" est une invitation à la découverte de l'autre. Comme le dit Dominique Legros : "Entrons d'abord par la grande porte dans l'univers athapascan de Monsieur McGinty. Laissons-le raconter ce que le corbeau a fait pour les hommes à l'aube des temps. Pour tous les hommes, quelles que soient leurs origines. pour les autochtones, pour les Blancs, et pour tous les autres".

After a career working and living with American Indians and studying their traditions, Barre Toelken has written this sweeping study of Native American folklore in the West. Within a framework of performance theory, cultural worldview, and collaborative research, he examines Native American visual arts, dance, oral tradition (story and song), humor, and patterns of thinking and discovery to demonstrate what can be gleaned from Indian traditions by Natives and non-Natives alike. In the process he considers popular distortions of Indian beliefs, demystifies many traditions by showing how th

Laughter, contemporary theory suggests, is often aggressive in some manner and may be prompted by a sudden perception of incongruity combined with memories of past emotional experience. Given this importance of the past to our recognition of the comic, it follows that some ""traditions"" dispose us to ludic responses. The studies in Of Corpse: Death and Humor in Folklore and Popular Culture examine specific interactions of text (jokes, poetry, epitaphs, iconography, film drama) and social context (wakes, festivals, disasters) that shape and generate laughter. Uniquely, however,
