[Comprehensive approach to a Pilagá myth. The myth of Tomagaloqosót].
In this paper the author analyzes the way the myth integrates to a living indigenous culture taking Tomagaloqosót's story as an example. She bases this work on original material collected by her during several ethnographical campaigns. First, she considers what some irrationalist authors--like Leenhardt, Eliade, and Bormida--say about myths. Then she analyzes the TomaGaloqosót myth in relation to its insertion in different cultural environments. This enables her to discuss, from a tautegoric point of view, what the previously mentioned authors attribute to the myth. At the same time, she maintains that the integration of the myth to the living culture has great originality and is peculiar to each group. So that it can be deduced that the attributes that define it are valid only in a relative number of cultural frames, and that they can vary from culture to culture and also some of them can be contradictory.
