Genus and Wallmapu: analysis of the material and symbolic appropriation of space by Mapuche — Williche women from the Aliwen community (Chile)

Abstract

From a historical look, Mapuche’s territorial and autonomy claims have started to emerge in the Ngulu and Puel Mapu at the end of the 1990s. Since then, the Mapuche people have become visible as a homogeneous group to Chilean and international society. In this context, the williche community and its experiences in the processes of reducing and colonising the territories under its control have been invisible to non-Mapuche society. In this context, the research focuses on analysing the territories of women Mapuche — Williche in the process of building the Wallmapu, based on work and study with women from the Aliwen community, in the Comuna de Los Muermos, Los Lagos Region, Chile today. This research is thus of political and academic relevance. From a political point of view, the aim is to make the construction of the Mapuche area visible, from the point of view of women in the community. This is because they have been invisible on the scale of local and national political action. The same state policies respond to a male perspective in their implementation. It is therefore necessary to draw attention and analyse the contribution of Mapuche — Williche women in the process of building the Mapuche territory, since their practices. From an academic perspective, the work carried out from social sciences has traditionally linked the territory to ethnic identity, without taking into account that gender differences not only cross ethnicity, but also influence the way the territories are built. Finally, this research seeks to contribute to the debate from the other subjects, as builders of realities, knowledge and Epistemologies, from a daily practice signed by the cosmovision that builds the Mapuche — Williche territory.
