“…Young men now confronted a reality where women were more likely to ensure household subsistence through their access to welfare payments (Diz 2018). Women were also increasingly vocal and critical about gendered discrimination (Hirsch 2008) and were becoming more politically active (Castelnuovo 2015).…”

“…In other words, even as men struggled to be employed in a labor market that had fewer jobs to offer, the increasing demand for women's labor-and the tendency for state and other grants to target female household members-meant that men's contributions to household economies were losing importance. In fact, in some Guaraní settlements women were increasingly affirming their political positions and transforming leadership roles, thanks to increased contacts with NGOs and inter-ethnic networks that have created new identity-based spaces for politics (Castelnuovo 2015).…”

In Argentina’s Gran Chaco, indigenous Guaraní men play football assiduously. This article explores how the game articulates with their sense of masculinity. Historical engagements in the Chaco’s extractive labor markets have shaped understandings of masculinity that emphasize strength, courage, and provision. However, the decline of the region’s extractive industries has made these forms of masculinity unattainable for young men. Games of football, including betting and drinking off the pitch, create bounded and embodied experiences that allow young men to experience fantasies of productivity and collectivity while disavowing everyday experiences of unemployment. These fantasies are particularly striking because they misrecognize women’s growing role as providers even as they sustain an illusion of autonomous masculine politics that elides ties of kinship and dependency.

“…Disagreements over leadership alongside financial hardships individuated families; fencing was erected on communal lands to divide some households from others, and priorities shifted from community projects to finding individual employment. Guaraní political practices in many areas of Argentina and Bolivia continue to be based on the traditional form of political organization—the assembly—where interchange and listening through group meetings play an important role (Castelnuovo Biraben, 2014; Lowrey, 2011; Wahren, 2012). That assemblies were no longer held in the community represented a symbolic disjuncture with their cultural heritage, something lamented by middle-aged and older informants.…”

The internet has been a valuable resource for many indigenous groups as a vehicle for selfrepresentation. In this paper we describe how the installation of a Wi-Fi signal in a Guaraní community in Greater Buenos Aires-as part of the community leader's decolonizing media projects-generated issues within the community. While much indigenous media research concerns the politics of cultural representation, we consider the politics of everyday, intracommunity mobile communication practices. Firstly, our findings show how the choice of communication medium can become a political issue. An upsurge in mobile-mediated communication within the community contributed to the decline of face-to-face deliberations which were the mainstay for communal sharing arrangements and which held a central position in understandings of Guaraní culture. Secondly, our findings show how discrepancies between users' communication preferences and the readily available mobile media services can generate a use barrier by demotivating users from obtaining the skills needed to effectively appropriate or transform mobile media services. Familiarity with a few mainstream social media apps not only reinforced imaginaries of the internet as a non-indigenous space but also generated set ideas of what the internet supports in terms of communicative form-social networking-and content 1 Sarah Wagner is a doctoral candidate at the Internet Interdisciplinary Institute, Barcelona.

In the end, the community leader's decolonizing projects aimed at using social media for community media dissemination were not only rejected by community members but also undermined by the dynamics of mobile media practices in the community. We argue that limited mobile technology skills combined with commercially oriented mobile media services can hinder creative and adaptable mobile media practices, and in turn, decolonizing mobile appropriations.

“…Como antecedentes notables de participación de las mujeres indígenas en América Latina durante los años noventa cabe mencionar los levantamientos indígenas de Ecuador (1990) y México (1994. Estas experiencias contribuyeron a que las mujeres indígenas cuestionaran su posición subordinada y las instaron a reflexionar acerca de sus derechos (Castelnuovo Biraben, 2015). Durante las últimas décadas, cobró impulso una corriente de pensamiento-acción desde los propios movimientos indígenas denominado «feminismo comunitario» que cruza la emancipación de la mujer con la lucha contra el extractivismo.…”

El presente trabajo analiza los procesos educativos de los/as integrantes de la comunidad ava guaraní Iwi Imemb’y (Hijos de la Tierra), en relación con la formación de referentes/as comunitarios/as y la lucha por la efectivización de derechos, principalmente el territorial. A partir de una concepción amplia de la educación y apelando a un abordaje interseccional, focalizamos en distintos espacios de formación que contribuyen a la apropiación de habilidades y a la construcción de redes de relaciones y estrategias para ejercer y canalizar las demandas de la comunidad hacia el Estado. La comunidad tiene su origen en los alrededores del ingenio San Martín de Tabacal, Departamento de Orán, Provincia de Salta. En este lugar residían algunas de las familias que la conforman hasta el 2002, cuando fueron desalojadas en el marco del avance de la frontera agropecuaria. Actualmente, y como producto de la consecuente migración forzada, la comunidad está nucleada en el Cordón Hortícola Platense, Provincia de Buenos Aires. El análisis de los procesos que dieron lugar al nucleamiento y la conformación de la comunidad Iwi Imemb’y en La Plata, representa una contribución a la historia y las trayectorias de los Pueblos Indígenas en relación con sus procesos de organización, estrategias y modos de canalizar las demandas hacia el Estado. En este sentido, el presente trabajo contribuye a la comprensión de los procesos formativos y las redes de relaciones construidas por referentes indígenas en articulación con diferentes instituciones y actores que contribuyen a la defensa de sus proyectos colectivo-comunitarios.
