في علم الأساطير ودراسة الفلكلور والأديان، المحتال (إنگليزية: trickster)، هو شخصية في قصة (أو تجسد ، الإنسان، الروح، الآلهة الإله) تملك درجة هائلة من الذكاء وأسرار المعرفة وتستخدمها لممارسة الحيل أو لخرق القواعد الاعتيادية وتحدي السلوك التقليدي.

علم الأساطير

يظهر المحتالون كشخصيات نموذجية في أساطير العديد من الحضارات المختلفة. يصف لويس هايد المحتال أنه "متعد للحدود". [1] غالباً ما يتعدى المحتال ويخترق القواعد الجسدية والاجتماعية: "ينتهك المحتالون مبادئ النظام الاجتماعي والطبيعي، يقاطعون سير الحياة بنحو متلاعب ويعيدون تأسيسها وقف أسس جديدة." [2]

عادة ما يأخذ خرق القواعد والتلاعب بها شكل الحيل أو اللصوصية. قد يكون المحتالون محتالين أو مغفلين أو يحملون الصفتين معاً. يشكك المحتال بصراحة بالسلطة أو يعرقلها أو يهزأ بها. غالباً ما تكون الشخصية ذكراً ومولعاً بخرق القواعد والتبجح وممارسة الحيل على البشر والآلهة.[بحاجة لمصدر]


لدى الكثير من الحضارات حكايات عن المحتالين، كائن ماهر يستخدم الخديعة ليحصل على الطعام وليسرق الممتلكات الثمينة أو ليتسبب بالأذى. في بعض الأساطير اليونانية، يلعب هرمس دور المحتال. إنه حامي اللصوص ومخترع الكب، وهي موهبة منحها لـأوتوليكاس والذي منحها بدوره إلى أوديسة. [1] في حكايات السلف الفولكلورية، غالباً ما يجتمع المحتال و البطل. [بحاجة لمصدر]


Loki cuts the hair of the goddess Sif.

عادة، تغير شخصة المحتال جنسها و تغير الشكل. في علم الأساطير الاسكندنافية، لوكي هو صانع المشكلات وهو أيضاً متحول الشكل. يمتلك لوكي أيضاً القدرة على تغيير جنسه، حتى إنه كان حاملاً في إحدى الحالات. يتحول إلى فرس ويلد لاحقاً حصان أودن ذي الثماني أرجل سلبنر. [بحاجة لمصدر]

في نطاق واسع من المجتمعات المتحدثة بلغات إفريقية، يكون المحتال أرنباً أو ارنباً وحشياً. في غرب إفريقيا (ثم في الكاريبي عبر تجارة العبيد)، العنكبوت (أنانسي) هو المحتال عادةً. [3]

في الأدب

In modern literature, the trickster survives as a character archetype, not necessarily supernatural or divine, sometimes no more than a stock character.قالب:Cf

Often, the trickster is distinct in a story by his acting as a sort of catalyst; his antics are the cause of other characters' discomfiture, but he himself is left untouched. Shakespeare's Puck is an example of this. Another once-famous example was the character Froggy the Gremlin on the early USA children's television show "Andy's Gang". A cigar-puffing puppet, Froggy induced the adult humans around him to engage in ridiculous and self-destructive hi-jinks.[4]

For example, many European fairy tales have a king who wants to find the best groom for his daughter by ordering several trials. No brave and valiant prince or knight manages to win them, until a poor and simple peasant comes. With the help of his wits and cleverness, instead of fighting, they evade or fool monsters, villains and dangers in unorthodox ways. Against expectations, the most unlikely candidate passes the trials and receives the reward.قالب:Cf

More modern and obvious examples of the same type include Bugs Bunny in the USA and from Sweden the female hero in the Pippi Longstocking stories.

دوره في الأدب الأمريكي-الأفريقي

Modern African-American literary criticism has turned the trickster figure into an example of how it is possible to overcome a system of oppression from within. For years, African-American literature was discounted by the greater community of American literary criticism while its authors were still obligated to use the language and the rhetoric of the very system that relegated African Americans and other minorities to the ostracized position of the cultural "other." The central question became one of how to overcome this system when the only words available were created and defined by the oppressors. As Audre Lorde explained, the problem was that "the master's tools [would] never dismantle the master's house."[5]


Br'er Rabbit is a trickster character who succeeds through his wits rather than through strength.

While the trickster crosses various cultural traditions, there are significant differences between tricksters in the traditions of different parts of the world:

Many native traditions held clowns and tricksters as essential to any contact with the sacred. People could not pray until they had laughed, because laughter opens and frees from rigid preconception. Humans had to have tricksters within the most sacred ceremonies for fear that they forget the sacred comes through upset, reversal, surprise. The trickster in most native traditions is essential to creation, to birth.[6]

Coyote often has the role of trickster as well as a clown in traditional stories.

The Coyote mythos is one of the most popular among western Native American cultures, especially among indigenous peoples of California and the Great Basin.

According to Crow (and other Plains) tradition, Old Man Coyote impersonates the Creator: "Old Man Coyote took up a handful of mud and out of it made people".[7] He also bestowed names on buffalo, deer, elk, antelopes, and bear. According to A. Hultkranz, the impersonation of Coyote as Creator is a result of a taboo, a mythic substitute to the religious notion of the Great Spirit whose name was too dangerous and/or sacred to use apart from at special ceremonies.[بحاجة لمصدر]

In Chelan myths, Coyote belongs to the animal people but he is at the same time "a power just like the Creator, the head of all the creatures." while still being a subject of the Creator who can punish him or remove his powers.[8] In the Pacific Northwest tradition, Coyote is mostly mentioned as a messenger, or minor power.

As the culture hero, Coyote appears in various mythic traditions, but generally with the same magical powers of transformation, resurrection, and "medicine". He is engaged in changing the ways of rivers, creating new landscapes and getting sacred things for people. Of mention is the tradition of Coyote fighting against monsters. According to Wasco tradition, Coyote was the hero to fight and kill Thunderbird, the killer of people, but he could do that not because of his personal power, but due to the help of the Spirit Chief. In some stories, Multnomah Falls came to be by Coyote's efforts; in others, it is done by Raven.

More often than not Coyote is a trickster, but always different. In some stories, he is a noble trickster: "Coyote takes water from the Frog people... because it is not right that one people have all the water." In others, he is malicious: "Coyote determined to bring harm to Duck. He took Duck's wife and children, whom he treated badly."[بحاجة لمصدر]

In online environments, there has been a link between the trickster and Internet trolling. Some have said that a trickster is a type of online community character.[9][10]
