Indigenous bodies, Indigenous minds? Towards an understanding of indigeneity in the Ecuatorian Amazon. VALDIVIA, G. Gender, Place and Culture, 16(5):535–551, 2009. ![Indigenous bodies, Indigenous minds? Towards an understanding of indigeneity in the Ecuatorian Amazon [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex This article explores how perceptions about bodies and interpersonal exchanges contribute to the production of indigenous subjectivities in the Ecuadorian Amazon. Drawing on feminist methodologies and experiences with Cofán, Quichua and Secoya peoples in the province of Sucumbíos, I reflect on how bodies and their ‘grammar’ can become analytical spaces through which to understand indigeneity. Specifically, I look at the body as object and subject of imaginaries of difference with the goal to examine how moments and interactions through which people commonly identify as ‘indigenous’ construct, contest and/or maintain indigenous subjectivities. I conclude with a discussion on the possibilities of thinking about and with bodies to further a post-colonial questioning of indigeneity.
