Abstract

VIERA CHERRO, Mariana. Look and be seer: Objectification of two groups of rural women. Andamios [online]. 2012, vol.9, n.19, pp.337-358. ISSN 2594-1917.

This paper seeks to make a comparative analysis between two rural women organizations, one in Uruguay, the Red de Grupos de Mujeres Rurales, and the other one in Chile, the Asociación Nacional de Mujeres Rurales e Indígenas. On the one hand, I investigate how the "rural" component of these two groups operates within each organizations, and, on the other hand, I look at how important it is for them the search for the construction of a "female" subject. I believe that these concepts have a strong connection with the self-definition of these groups, in the ability to make alliances with other groups and, ultimately, with the social order they are seeking.

Keywords : Women; rural areas; social movements; feminism; gender.
