GIGENA, Andrea Ivanna. Mujeres-Indígenas y decisiones políticas. Alcances y limitaciones de la institucionalización indígena y de género en Chile. La ventana [online]. 2018, vol.6, n.48, pp.390-422. ISSN 1405-9436.

Based on a case-study strategy, this article addresses the capacities developed by the Chilean state to guarantee the effective exercise of participation rights and political representation of indigenous women. The analysis focuses on: representations and practices of public servants from both the National Service for Women (SERNAM) - the Ministry for Women and Gender Equity and the National Corporation for Indigenous Development (CONADI). This approach problematizes the subordination of indigenous women in the public space. The corpus comprises documentary material and in-depth interviews carried out in Chile to public servants and indigenous women. They were interviewed between May and July 2016 in the Metropolitan, Arica and Parinacota, and Araucanía regions.

Keywords : political participation; political representation; indigenous women; SERNAM; CONADI.
