Abstract

Where I come from is a short essay that transposes and intersects worlds of reflexivities and problematizations that circulate and exhale, notions and experiences in which readings by mestizo feminist authors such as Gloria Anzaldúa resonate with the purpose of building an aesthetic-political harmony to think about a Comechingón changing ethnography. From an enunciation as a Camiare Comechingona woman by profession an anthropologist, I propose a dialogue open to many worlds from the edges and intersections, reflexively evoking experiences and visions of worlds from situated ethnographies of my family memories. As part of the Camiare Comechingón people and in a con- text of activation of communalization processes and anti-extracivist territorial struggles in the Province of Córdoba in Central-Western Argentina, I invite you to cross, move, recognize, uninstall, transpose borders, epistemological and ontological, to problematize the modern-colonial and patriarchal continuities by which Indigenous women, activists and researchers, were marked.

Author Biography

Laura Misetich Astrada, Canchira Community Camiaré Comechingón Comunity. HEN indigenous publishing.

He is a member of the Canchira Community of the Camiare-Comechingón People and lives in the current Province of Córdoba, Argentine Republic. Although her second surname does not appear on her national identity document, it is a reference to her indigenous maternal lineage, the use of it is a political definition as understood by the author. She studied at the National University of Córdoba (UNC) where she completed the Teaching and Bachelor's Degree in History, then she continued her Postgraduate studies in Anthropology at the same university, where she also carries out research and extension activities. She works as a teacher at the Institute of Aboriginal Languages and Cultures (ICA) in the History and Anthropology classes. Among the experiences with the greatest impact in her career is her grandmother's confidence about her indigenous identity hidden within her own family. This structured her searches in the academic and work world, combining indigenous and feminist activism with the fields of knowledge of Anthropology and History. She contributed to the creation of editorial projects of indigenous authorship, such as: the Tejido de Letras space and the Editorial Indígena HEN collective. From the interweaving between these worlds of activism, research and indigenous community projection arises her participation in international networks such as the Information and Discussion Network on Archeology and Heritage (RIDAP).
