This preliminary study of the impact of desert on tribal mythology stems from the following theoretical points: first that mythologies are interested in sun, fire, wind, and rain to the extent that they render those things as characters rather than as impersonal elements.  Second that in what I call miniregions mythologies differ largely because of parody phenomenon. And third that a “mythology” comprises all of the texts that one tribal narrator tells in the order the narrator arranges them. In this manner, this paper both sets an agenda for measuring the impact of deserts on myth and introduces authorship and authority into the study of tribal mythologies.  Universidad Autónoma de Baja California 2015-10-10 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo evaluado por pares application/pdf http://culturales.uabc.mx/index.php/Culturales/article/view/28 Culturales; Vol. 2 No. 3 (2006); 132-158 Culturales; Vol. 2 Núm. 3 (2006); 132-158 2448-539X 1870-1191 spa http://culturales.uabc.mx/index.php/Culturales/article/view/28/27
