AGUIRRE MENDOZA, Imelda  y  BORJA CRUZ, Julio César. The otomí doll in the face of epistemic extractivism. Entrediversidades rev. cienc. soc. humanid. [online]. 2020, vol.7, n.2, pp.222-244.  Epub 26-Feb-2024. ISSN 2007-7610.  https://doi.org/10.31644/ed.v7.n2.2020.a08.

The purpose of this article is to discuss some consequences of extractivist practices carried out on the doll made by the Otomi people of southern Querétaro. We analyze as a central point the use that researchers, entrepreneurs and government agencies have made of this artifact. At the end, it will be seen how this type of extractivism is strictly linked to broader policies that have converted “the indigenous theme” into a profitable field, susceptible to be commercialized, in which the native knowledge is trivialized.

Palabras llave : otomí doll; epistemic extractivism; native knowledge; tourism; patrimonialization.
