Announcement: This Saturday at The Science Circle - "Henupoto Wara: Supernatural Anti-Hero of the Mythical Past"

 

"Henupoto Wara: Supernatural Anti-Hero of the Mythical Past"

Saturday March 6

10 AM to 11 AM SL time

The Emberá, a tropical lowland tribe of the Darién rain forest of Eastern Panama and the Pacific coastal lowlands of Colombia, have a strong tradition of telling detailed stories about animals, spirits, and demons and of adventures in the mythical past.  Henupoto Wara, or Leg-Born Child, is one of the most famous stories and chronicles the adventures of this cultural anti-hero as he engages the many supernatural ecologies and denizens of Emberá cosmology.  This discussion presents the story and discusses an interpretation of some of the ecological images, assumed knowledge and cosmological implications embedded is this oft-told narrative.

Three More SL17B Exhibits

The events of the Second Life Seventeenth Birthday may be over. But the exhibits are still up and will remain so for a few more days. And with most of the people gone, there's noticeably less lag. While there's not enough time to write about them all, we can put a spotlight on a few in three different SL17B sims to give examples on what's here.

Read the story in Design.
