Resumo

Ifugao é reconhecido mundialmente por seus Sistemas de Patrimônio Agrícola de Importância Global (GIAHS) e pelos Terraços de Arroz de Ifugao (IRT), inscritos na Lista do Patrimônio Mundial da UNESCO em 1995. Para os Ifugaos, o arroz tinawon é o centro de sua vida, tradição e festividades. Várias narrativas tomam o arroz tinawon como inspiração, com cada narrativa apresentando sua representação única do arroz. Por meio de uma abordagem qualitativa, este artigo argumenta que as narrativas selecionadas racionalizam o estabelecimento do arroz tinawon como base para os ritos, práticas, organização social e sistemas de valores. Além disso, o arroz é um símbolo de troca mútua e parceria entre o Mundo Celeste e os primeiros povos de Ifugao, garantindo bem-estar. Por fim, o arroz simboliza a resposta favorável dos deuses às necessidades humanas. Consequentemente, a ausência do arroz tinawon levaria ao declínio cultural e literário do povo Ifugao, marcando a ascensão e queda da herança literária e cultural Ifugao.
