Analysis of experiences of Mapuche women in their participation in state policies}, volume={8}, url={https://revista.religacion.com/index.php/religacion/article/view/1027}, DOI={10.46652/rgn.v8i35.1027}, abstractNote={<p>This paper aims to analyze the participation of Mapuche women in the context of the implementation of two projects financed by public policies. In the first place, the Xopun Bawehtuwun project, which is carried out by the Epu Bafkeh organization of Los Toldos, Buenos Aires province, Argentina. This organization intended to update the use of herbs and the elaboration of Mapuche medicinal preparations. Secondly, the experience of spinning and weaving transmission on the Mapuche loom from the women of the Zuem Mapuche Artisan Cooperative, which brings together different Mapuche communities located on the southern line and the andean zone of Río Negro province, Argentina. While they were participating in these projects, the women collectively updated memories and produced alliances that allowed them to discuss the logic of state and patriarchal subordination. In the development of our work, we read these alliances and their political potential as an excess of the state policies. The particularity of these excesses is that, in the light of the experiences analyzed, they defy the conditions and stereotypes from which these policies are formulated and implemented.</p&gt;}, number={35}, journal={Religación}, author={Sabatella, Maria Emilia and Sánchez Iudicello, Suzette}, year={2023}, month={Mar.}, pages={e2301027} }
