O arcaico nos Mukashibanashi acerca dos casamentos entre seres diferentes (Irui Kon’In)

Resumen

In this paper we intend to do a presentation about the origins of the Japanese mukashi banashi about the irui kon 'in (marriages between different kinds) - which can be an animal,a celestial being or a ghost or spirit. Though Japanese studies about Ethnology and Folklore, and Western theories, we discuss about the archaic configuration of these narratives, applying it in the mukashi banashi Tsuru Nyôbô (Crane Wife).
