Abstract
MONTALVO CHAVES, Ma. Ángeles. Construcción de ciudadanía entre fronteras poscoloniales: resistencia política de mujeres migrantes e indígenas en el escenario artístico. La ventana [online]. 2012, vol.4, n.36, pp.11-49. ISSN 1405-9436.
In this article I argue, based on an ethnographic analysis of artistic practices of Indigenous and migrant women in Madrid and Sydney, the urgent need to redefine exclusive models of citizenship. The case studies, seemingly unconnected, of organizations "Latin Kings and Queens" and "Indigenous Australians" show the disconnection between Spanish and Australian models and integration practices and subjects to those who a priori are directed. Given use by organizations, art forms light up alternative routes of political expression through a performative dialogic exchange with both the colonial past and postcolonial present. Thus, artistic scenarios build places of resistance from where to report subalternities.
Keywords : postcolonial feminism; transmigration; ethnicity; civil rights; indigenous people.
