Abstract
La metamorfosis de un humano en lobo es un elemento presente tanto en la radición textual como en las llamadas “culturas populares” europeas. Este trabajo presenta un recorrido por las diferentes explicaciones ofrecidas para interpretar semejante transformación, intentando desvelar la estructura común que subyace tanto en los relatos populares como en el tratamiento del fenómeno por parte de la cultura letrada. El caso del hombre lobo gallego (lobishome o lobo da xente) sirve como piedra de toque para valorar la contribución de esas explicaciones a la comprensión del fenómeno en un ámbito concreto.
The metamorphosis of a human being into wolf appears in European textual tradition, as well as in the so called european «popular cultures». This paper covers different explanations for such transformation. We try to uncover the common structure that underlies both the folk tales and the treatment of thephenomenon in high culture. Galician werewolf is used as touchstone to assess the contribution of these explanations to the understanding of the phenomenon in aparticular area.
