Menara Lube Guizardi is invited by the research group Mobility, Culture and Gender to present her latest book "The Elementary Structuring of Patriarchy: Bolivian Women and Transborder Mobilities in the Andes".
Based on an ethnographic study on the Andean Tri-border (between Chile, Peru, and Bolivia), the book addresses the experience of Aymara women from Bolivia employed in the rural valleys on the outskirts of Arica (Chile’s northernmost city). As protagonists of transborder mobility circuits in the Atacama Desert, these women are intersectionally impacted by different forms of social vulnerability. With a feminist anthropological perspective, the book investigates how the boundaries of gender are constructed in the (multi)situated experience of these transborder women.
The lecture is in English and is open for everyone to attend.
