Description
Summary:This manuscript introduces the concept of border feminism in order to observe the specific biases of gender inequality in later integrated territories, taking Patagonia as study case. The main theoretical backgrounds are black feminisms and ecofeminisms, which introduce the processes of feminization of the land and the landscape. It reviews military and scientific sources in State land appropriation process. It researches how the recognition of the landscape is transferred to populations, which beyond their sex, are feminized because of subalternity location that is given to them by the State structure. As a conclusion, it shows that the territorial belonging is resignified in articulation with ethnicity, gender and class discrimination, that in these regions are naturalized by a reference to the landscape rather than to social ties.
