Tricksters and Ambivalence
Coyote of Native American lore, Loki of Norse mythology, and numerous other manifestations of the trickster appear throughout human history. Spinks (English, Trinity U.) presents thirteen essays that are drawn from a 1999 symposium (sponsored by the Semiotic Society of America) devoted to the duality inherent in the archetype. Topics include the role of gender, the trickster role of the fool in the Tarot deck, the problem of seriousness and game playing in narratives, the trickster elements of Aztec time keeping and calendar making, and the revelation of the trickster in the non-happening of the computer Y2K problem.
