Mapuche huilliche women's political visibility in the province of Osorno. Emergence of a sui generis feminism?

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to contextualize the implications of williche women's responsibility in the political arena and the current cultural movement, and to answer to what extent this inmersion reveals the emergence of a hypothetical sui generis. The speeches in which the paper is based, affirm their determination to sublimate the effects of subordination and stigmatization whose features can be felt despite a noticeable change in the non-indigenous Chilean population. The main concern that crosses these reflections raises a question about the need to agree or reject the existence of a singular feminism. This paper also seeks to address to what extent discourses, attitudes, and praxis of women would give williche standing and influence. If cautiously, the author postulates a positive response to the previous dilemma, he attempts to show that this feminism born in and promoted in and from the periphery of the periphery, boasts in all cases being forged and expresses itself far from academic discussions, which are imbued with a strong conceptual straitjacket designed from a hegemonic center.
