TOVAR-HERNAN, Deysy Margarita  and  TENA GUERRERO, Olivia. Nahua women: dispossessing the male condition. Culturales [online]. 2017, vol.5, n.2, pp.39-65. ISSN 2448-539X.

This research analyzes the transformation of patriarchal precepts concerning property that occurred after the organizational process of Nahua women. From a feminist and decolonial perspective, a qualitative and interpretive study was designed, with collective content analysis including both women and men experiences. We found a model of local masculinity based on the domination of men as possessors of women’s properties, bodies, ideas and creativity, but there are also shifts towards the reappropriation of women themselves, of their knowledge, their words, their goods and of the public and political space. The construction of horizontal knowledge opens the door to explore communities with different organizational processes in order to analyze transformations in gender dynamics, moving away from traditional methods based on a patriarchal hierarchy of knowing.

Keywords : male condition; property; Nahua women; organizational processes.
