MAESO, Silvia Rodríguez. Power relations and identity inscriptions: women and indigenous cultural difference in Latin-American contexts. Ex aequo [online]. 2008, n.17, pp.53-70. ISSN 0874-5560.
The article analyses, from the perspective of power relations, womens position and experiences in processes of indigenous cultural identification in different Latin American contexts. More precisely, it discusses the tensions produced within the relation between feminity and Indianity in processes of cultural identification, which are considered as processes of constructing and legitimating political subjects. Through the analysis of three moments constitutive of the logics of cultural identification (incarnation, transgression and affectation), it is evidenced how asymmetric power relations shape the links between gender and ethnicity taking into account the use of certain identitary inscriptions on and/or by women.
