PARTS TO THE WHOLE Alfred Gell, The Art of Anthropology: Essay and Diagrams, Cambridge University Press, 1999 As Mimica's own diagram of the situation shows, Omalyce also creates women in his own image (initially as a penisless, pregnant man) in that he is, if not an explicit woman himself, then an eclipsed one, in that he is said to be male in front and female at the back, or alternatively, male in himself but casting a female shadow. All Iqwaye are detotalized body-parts, or fractals, of Omalyce.
