Journal Article
Gender and natural resource extraction in Latin America
2021
Overview
This article resituates the debate on approaches to gender in contexts of natural resource extraction in Latin America and, subsequently, outlines an intersectional, feminist proposal focused on geopolitical positionality, which points to the complex and global power relations that (re)position individuals and collectivities residing in spaces that have geopolitical value in a gendered way. This article draws on both empirical and theoretical research in/on extractive contexts, focusing on women, masculinities, and sexual markets. By paying special attention to the diversity of women’s experiences and productive activities in extractive contexts, this article visibilizes their agency, as well as generates a more accurate account of how extractivist regimes operate and reconfigure gender relations on a local level. This expands existing approaches, allowing a situated, feminist critique, which helps to refine the study of gender and gendered power relations in their intersection with processes of natural resource extraction.
Este artículo reubica el debate sobre los abordajes al género en contextos de extracción de recursos naturales en Latinoamérica y, posteriormente, esboza una propuesta feminista interseccional enfocada en la posicionalidad geopolítica, que apunta a relaciones de poder complejas y globales que (re) posicionan de forma genérica a individuos y colectividades residentes en espacios de valor geopolítico. Este artículo se basa en investigación empírica y teórica en contextos extractivos, centrada en mujeres, masculinidades y mercados sexuales. Prestando especial atención a la diversidad de las experiencias y actividades productivas de las mujeres en contextos extractivos, este artículo visibiliza su agencia, así como genera un relato más acertado de cómo los regímenes extractivistas operan y reconfiguran las relaciones de género a nivel local. Esto amplía abordajes existentes, permitiendo una crítica feminista situada, que ayuda a refinar el estudio de género y las relaciones genéricas de poder en su intersección con los procesos de extracción de recursos naturales.
