Epilogue

Abstract

The Epilogue summarizes how the Aymara women, whose life histories were narrated in this volume, constitute a particular agency in the face of gender mandates, interdicts of sexuality, the gender division of labor, and the economic configurations related to the constitution of community kinship logics. These women show signs, simultaneously, of assuming a part of this kinship structuring (reproducing them in some of their aspects) and of seeking to position themselves against them (or against some of their elements). In this simultaneity between reproduction and rupture, female mobility is a central axis. In the dialectic of rupture and reproduction, our interviewees balance the triad between the elementary structuring of gender violence, kinship, and female mobility.
