DIAZ LEDESMA, Lucas Gabriel. Magia, desposesión y poder soberano. Análisis de relaciones de género en torno a las almamulas y estudiantes de magia de Santiago del Estero, Argentina. La ventana [online]. 2017, vol.5, n.45, pp.306-336. ISSN 1405-9436.

In this article, I make an analysis based on narratives about everyday experiences of individuals living in Santiago de Estero, Argentina, mediated by a legendary record; one religious and other sex-generic. In order to do this, work with two mythical figures, firstly students of magic and on the other hand, almamulas. In the first case, I carry out a description of the case and its relationship with the witch, both are essential to understand magic, the representations of sexuality and morality and the pact with the devil. In the second case, I take up the analysis in lathe to women in situation of incest (the almamulas) to understand the possession of their bodies by the sovereign patriarchs, act which involves empowerment and boasting of hegemonic masculine traits. This position determines the expressiveness of practices directed toward other males and the community in general.

Palabras llave : magic; almamulas; students; hegemonic masculinity; gender.
