Consejos maternos que hablan memoria: conversaciones con mujeres de la comunidad mapuche Lago Rosario

Abstract

This work emerges as a reflection of my first approximations to those counted by women who were succeeding in my field work in the Mapuche community of Lago Rosario, located kilometers from Esquel in the province of Chubut, Patagonia, Argentina. What characterizes them is the importance of remembering certain maternal advices that become the guiding thread of childhoods, maternities and social divisions of work in the biographies of this group of women. These councils orientate ways of being in the world and reveal new plots of meanings and notions of resistance, rebellion and solidarity in socio-culturally significant frameworks.
