TUNUBALA, Alba Marleny Calambas; ECHEVERRY, Carolina Buitrago    TENORIO, José Manuel Romero. Walk-spin is to resist: ethnogeneric subjectivities and struggles of Misak indigenous community (Colombia) against violent land dispossession and epistemicide. []. , 27, 2, pp.429-446.   22--2023. ISSN 0873-6561.  https://doi.org/10.4000/etnografica.13784.

Indigenous Misak women are subjected to various forms of violence: from the paramilitaries threaten them (rapes, murders) to the Creole feminism that rejects their forms of expression, considering them feminizing. I ethnographically narrate their struggles to regain their centrality as political actors through the construction of their ethnogeneric condition in the woman-indigenous intersectionality, through the ecology of the fabric. The thread translates their sensibilities and experiences into acts of resistance that produce subjective feminine territorialities. I conclude that, paradoxically, the silence and contempt that have always enveloped their practices are the spur to oppose the hegemonic forms of knowledge.
