LOZADA, Saraya Bonilla. The land is the time: narratives of the future among Andean-Amazonian peasant women. Etnográfica [online]. 2024, vol.28, n.1, pp.171-187.  Epub May 06, 2024. ISSN 0873-6561.  https://doi.org/10.4000/etnografica.15510.

This article reflects together with peasant women-defenders of the territory in Bajo Putumayo, in Southern Colombia. It resumes their narratives of the future and the understanding of time and space that they elaborate from their incarnated knowledge. Specifically, it articulates the affective experience that they live, with the life policies they build in their communities and implicate them to remain in the territory they currently inhabit in conditions of violence due to war and extractive economy. It considers anachronism as a position of resistance and emphasizes the materiality and density of time (the land) as a substrate for thinking about ways of relating outside of colonial and patriarchal relations of domination. This reflection assumes a qualitative methodology, it brings into account dialogues and own annotations through ethnographic techniques that give centrality to the subjective experience of peasant women.

Keywords : narratives of the future; interdependence; peasant women; Amazonia anachronism.
