RODO DONOSO, Francisca Victoria. Body Territorial Markings: navigating the waters of rural women in the Aconcagua Valley. Convergencia [online]. 2023, vol.30, e21280.  Epub 26-Jan-2024. ISSN 2448-5799.  https://doi.org/10.29101/crcs.v30i0.21280.

The aim of this article is to address the mechanisms of collective resistance that rural women deploy as a result of the transformations in rural habitability in the Aconcagua Valley in Chile. The research is developed in the rural areas of Pullalli and Olmué —based on a collaborative embodied ethnography— through life history techniques with rural women in collective workshops and open interviews to key agents to account for the agencies that are generated from the habitability of the body. The findings show that women mobilize their agencies from the linkage of the body, territory, and the inequalities of the sex/gender system. Establishing the sustainability of life as a gear that generates dynamics of crisis and exposure, but also mobilizations and actions that are based on territorial processes arising from water scarcity, body territorial marks, and the creation of solidarity networks.

Palavras-chave : rural women; sustainability of life; gender; body; resistances.
