“The role of women in rural popular culture. Towards a Critical Gender Cartography of Popular Art (CCGap). Comparative experiences between Chile and Spain”

The project proposes to inaugurate a line of research in the studies of the Geography of Gender for Popular Art, in order to make visible localities where communities of women who have maintained popular artistic practices through generations live. It also recognizes the original link between Chile and Spain as a result of a process of transculturation and miscegenation that could be investigated and evidenced through comparative experiences.

The purpose will be to elaborate an interdisciplinary study model, proposing a method of audiovisual cartographic construction, referencing situated knowledge from multiple points of view. In the field of Human Geography, this research seeks to calibrate the conditions of existence of these practices from a constellation that involves Gender Geography, Cultural Landscape studies and the theory of the Commons. This will allow the construction of a Critical Gender Cartography, which will make domestic spaces visible as places for the transfer of knowledge and popular practices, spaces that women have maintained for generations, shaping a material and immaterial culture linked to their territories. In addition, we intend to identify current problems that impede the flow of knowledge to the new generations, such as, for example, the daily struggle against the extractivism of raw materials, the distortion of readings on cultural and symbolic elements of their landscape, as well as the privatization of the land inhabited by the communities.

The purpose of this exhibition will be to present the objectives of the research, chronogram and the first approaches to the territory in Spain, in order to open a debate on the approach to this almost unexplored topic at present from the field of Geography.

“Peripheral culture and young black women: the institution of insurgent spatial practices.”

The doctoral thesis aims to understand the socio-spatial logics triggered by peripheral culture in Brazilian cities, as well as to interpret the spatial practices of young black women who are part of cultural collectives, in a double movement of establishment of spatialities and affirmation of identities..

The activity is linked to the PhD in Geography program.
