This paper is the result of an exploratory research about Mapuche women's writings between 1935 and 1965 available in Mapuche newspapers, as well as in educational institutions and journals of social movements. The goals of this research are to review the historical elements that allow the emergence of the women's prose, and to break down the central aspects of these writings, specifically, the relationship with civil rights, the demand for education and the fight against racism. The article arises from a study carried out in press archives in the National Library of Chile and documents in the Gabriela Mistral Museum of Education, as well as brief research in the Regional Archive of Araucanía.

Sexuality and motherhood are often issues that generate tensions in various societies. These tensions are related to oppressions of gender, social class and racism. Thus, in this study we position ourselves in an intersectional perspective, in order to reflect on the particular experiences of Mapuche women. Specifically, we address the stance on sexuality and motherhood that Mapuche women experience in their family, work and political militancy contexts. The latter refer to the lof, family and socio-historical territorial settlements in the Wallmapu and also in the city of Santiago. We conducted fieldwork between 2017-2018 in the Metropolitan, Biobío, La Araucanía and Los Ríos regions. Such work contemplated in-depth interviews and participant observations. The results show generational transformations of the experiences of the actors in this study. Such transformations are linked to socio-historical contexts and political positioning, related to the struggles of the actors for gender equity and the revitalization of Mapuche identity with their own adaptations.

This article addresses the consequences of dispossession on labor trajectories of urban-dwelling Mapuche women and their labor situation as viewed from their own perspective in southern Wallmapu, between 1985-2020. These women belong to two distinct generations engaged in labor market in Fütawillimapu (Great Lands of the South). By means of nütram, a personalsocial history is reconstructed for each worker, presenting their labor trajectories in a time-spatial sequence: settlement, placement, and experience regarding entry into and exit out of labor field. Thus, logics of bodily dispossession are revealed to be articulated by the effects of territorial dispossession, both of these coexisting within a third one, namely political dispossession, which persists in relegating the role of indigenous peoples' historicity in labor.

The expression of prejudice in recent years is more covert than overt. Such covert expression seeks to maintain social exclusions on the basis of race, class and gender. Some of the reasons that justify them respond to democratic contexts and the successive demands for the rights of native peoples in Latin America. In this context, the objective of this article is to comprehensively analyse the experiences of overt and subtle prejudices of mapuche women in Chile, through which these women create anti-racist, anti-classist and anti-patriarchal struggles. Through a multi-site ethnography, with in-depth interviews, we report on the experiences of 20 women from the Metropolitan, Biobío, La Araucanía and Los Ríos regions. The results show that overt racism and hidden prejudices coexist and vary according to women's social conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction This article presents advances of the doctoral thesis in Anthropology, research that considers the city of Olavarría (Buenos Aires, Argentina) as a study area where women who assume an indigenous identity (Mapuche) live and who are developing, as such, a active role in the community. Main objective In this framework, the main objective is to understand how Mapuche women appropriate, resignify, value the ancestral cultural legacy, recovering their experiences (past and current) around the Mapuche worldview. Method and technique This study is based on a qualitative approach from an ethnographic perspective, based on techniques such as the interview and participant observation, as well as the survey and analysis of documentary sources. Results Certain aspects of the ancestral cultural legacy related to ritual practices expressed in ceremonies and daily events are recovered to think about them from the ontological dimension of the sociocultural processes retaken by the interviewees. The main results allow us to reflect on circularity as a principle (spatial and temporal) and symbolism, the role of ceremonial and ritual practices for daily life and its re-signification in an urban context, the centrality of the link with the forces of the nature, among others. Conclusions The conclusions are aimed at thinking about the diversity of experiences lived from the reconstruction and reconnection with the ancestral and indigenous culture in the processes of identity formation. In this sense, the need arises to make her existence visible in these territories in an intersectional way in order to understand what it means to be an indigenous woman today from a situated approach.

With an approach inspired by Latin American cultural studies, post/decolonial feminist theory and intersectional theory, this article offers a theoretical analysis of the problem of the violence directed against women in the Mapuche indigenous communities. On that basis, it discusses a situation which has occurred in recent years in Chile, where the male aggressors defended themselves by appealing to the customary law of their society, which is protected by Code 169 of the ILO. It analyzes the discourse of tradition starting with the figure of the "Eco-spiritual Mapuche", a representational regime which situates the problem of gender violence in the context of the multicultural society of Chile.

This article addresses the organizational process of Mapuche women since the 1990s and the motivations that led to their emergence and appearance, such as access to public resources and the discussion of issues until then not visualized or addressed, like domestic abuse in the context of other forms violence such as racism and discrimination. Various Mapuche women's organizations have analyzed the validity of the Mapuche legal system or azmapu, in regards to its applicability to cases of domestic violence. In order to do this they appeal to recovering certain elements of the Mapuche world view, such as the duality and complementarity between humans and nature. These women also consider it fundamental to establish alliances with other women's organizations at national and international levels, such as their coordination with the Coordinadora Latinoamericana de Organizaciones de Campo (CLOC), and La Via Campesina, an international peasant's movement. From here they join their voices to denounce the various types of violence through a Global Campaign Against Violence Towards Women in Rural Areas, and also debate the proposal of both a peasant and popular feminism.

Mapuche Williche women today demonstrate notable political visibility in the communes of southern Chile. In this context, the term "political" does not necessarily mean partisan strife. The question posed in this article, is Intended to set forth the hypothesis that If a sodo-cultural stigma does exist, it could serve as a pretext for the consolidation of identity and political vindication of both the "ethnic" group and the "generic group," which collaterally generates a sui generis "feminine" discourse that has not yet been studied in depth. Considering these points, the author reviews the current discourses and praxis with which the Williche women of the Puyehue commune (Osorno) carry out their activities in dialogue with the traditional authorities of the Mapuche people and with the Chilean authorities.

This article investigates specially an aspect of the political mapuche movement in Chile which was the role played by a group of mapuche women that turned into leaders along the reconstruction process of the ethnic organization, the mapuche ethnic. This social process began in 1978 with the constitution of mapuche Cultural Centers and died in the eighties with the Law N° 19.253 also called Indiginous Law. This article tries to show a direct testimony of this process: the testimony of its protagonists. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The primacy of the masculine gender in almost every domain of culture is a universal phenomenon: men and women participate in differentiated value systems which, according to American anthropologist Marvin Harris, are grounded in the exclusive practice of war by men. The Mapuche Indians during the Spanish conquest were not an exception, and the ideology behind their social practices determined an asymmetry between the genders. The article stresses the centrality of civil legislation for the consolidation of the new order in the continent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
