The land and the body have become objects of exploitation, expulsion and exclusion as a result of capitalist insertion subject to the colonial system. This article exposes the multidimensionality of violence that crosses the territory and the body of an Afro-Ecuadorian woman in the province of Esmeraldas, in a context of capitalist industrialization that places the racialized body as an object, which does not represent subjectivity, and therefore is exploited and dominated. The territory is also reduced to a simplistic form of object, a commodity for capitalist purposes. Through the analysis of the life story of Sofia Corozo, an Afro-Ecuadorian woman, elderly and leader of the community of La Chiquita, located in the north of the province of Esmeraldas, the article seeks to show the forms of violence experienced by Afro-Ecuadorian women, as well as the processes of struggle, resistance and defense of their bodies, understood as “body-territory” and territory as “land-nature”, from their position against the industrialization of oil palm. La violencia hacia los cuerpos de las mujeres afroecuatorianas y la explotación material de la tierra, son dos categorías epistemológicas para ser repensadas conjuntamente. La tierra y el cuerpo se han convertido en objetos de explotación, expulsión y exclusión a partir de la inserción capitalista sujeta desde el sistema colonial. Este artículo expone la multidimensionalidad de violencias que atraviesa el territorio y el cuerpo de una mujer afroecuatoriana de la provincia de Esmeraldas, en un contexto de industrialización capitalista que ubica al cuerpo racializado como un objeto, que no representa subjetividad, y por tanto es explotado y dominado. El territorio también es reducido a una forma simplista de objeto, mercancía con fines capitalistas. Por medio del análisis de la historia de vida de Sofía Corozo, una mujer afroesmeraldeña, de la tercera edad y lideresa de la comunidad de La Chiquita, ubicada al Norte de la provincia de Esmeraldas, el artículo busca evidenciar las formas de violencia que viven las mujeres afroecuatorianas, así como los procesos de lucha, resistencia y defensa de su cuerpo, entendido éste como “cuerpo-territorio” y el territorio como “tierra-naturaleza”, desde su posicionamiento en contra de la industrialización de palma aceitera Universidad Nacional de Rosario 2023-04-11 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://relasp.unr.edu.ar/index.php/revista/article/view/96 10.35305/rr.v3i6.96 Revista Euro latinoamericana de Análisis Social y Político (RELASP); Vol. 3 Núm. 6 (2023); 110 - 135 2683-7420 spa https://relasp.unr.edu.ar/index.php/revista/article/view/96/162 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/
