Abstract

This paper focuses on gender expressions and configurations in the anti-extractive resistances of the Consejo Zonal Xawvn Ko of the Confederación Mapuche de Neuquén due to the advance of the hydrocarbon industry during the last decade in the area renamed "Vaca Muerta". It starts by arguing that territorial defense in this location hbecome anti-extractivist resistance closely accompanied by Mapuche community and inter-community organizational processes and that gender in intersectionality is a dimension that characterizes and sets these processes in motion.
Based on ongoing ethnographic field work and anthropological work from within, the article recovers historical and contemporary situations as well as collective experiences related to territorial defense in Xawvn Ko, to observe how gender is expressed, what effects it has and how it affects organizational processes and resistance in contexts of high socio-environmental conflict.
