  • Can climate change shape gender-relations?: the Inca subtext of the drama Ollantay
    Publication . Plachetka, Uwe
    The (supposed) Inca drama Apu Ollantay was published first in Vienna in 1853 and is an enigma since because the revolutionary momentum of the drama is given by a sudden twist of the standard plot of such love dramas: unlike Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the lovers did not die by their own hands, but fought successfully for the right to love due to a sudden political regime change: the young Inca Tupac Yupanqui turned the «rigors of a father into the generosity of a king» (the subtitle of the drama). A Distant Mirror, the Southeast Asian model of the Cosmological State, can visualize the avenue a story from Inca times opens to evidences on the impact of climate change on gender-relations.
