Abstract

This article is about gender relations among the Aymara people of northern Chile, from the study of two communities in the highlands of the Tarapaca Region: Isluga and Cariquima. The main interest is to understand how gender is social and symbolically built among contemporary Aymara people. Aspects of social, economic and religious spheres are investigated to understand the position and status of women and men and also the representations of the feminine, masculine and their relationships. This analysis of the Aymara social life allows linking certain social practices and their meanings.
