Mulheres indígenas, agentes de mudança

Abstract

Our reflection on change articulates two fronts of analysis : the regime of actions and the regime of changes. We combine this theoretical perspective with an empirical one, that of the movement of indigenous Brazilian women through a non-exhaustive survey of distinct actions that generate transformations, aiming at political subjectivation and emancipation. At least two radical changes can be identified as structuring regimes for new forms of life, since when implemented they promulgate the legitimisation of practices as if already established. Such changes spread through face-to-face or virtual interactions, reaffirming the existence of a collective and plural agency experiencing heterogeneous spaces-times of transition, but united by the feeling of commonality in the modes of presence in the world.
