I28-R145-709_oai2025-11-17 Hernández, Graciela 2011-12-30 The so-called ‘Santiago Avendaño chronicles’ describe the assassination of thirty-two women during the funeral of Painé, the main authority, chief or lonko of the Rankülche from Leubucó in the mid nineteenth century, in the area corresponding to the current province of La Pampa (Argentina).Our analysis draws on the theoretical contribution of the anthropologist Rita Segato regarding the relationship between crimes against women and the struggle for power, and on the text ‘Can the Subaltern Speak?’ by Gayatri Spivak, which includes an analysis of the suttee from the theory of subordination.Until now it has been held that the chronicle identifies two motives for killing the women: that they are witches and that they are widows. Using this source as well as other 19th century sources (mainly by Luis de la Cruz and Lucio Mansilla), we aim to analyse the way in which the categories of witch and widow have been constructed. Moreover, we want visibilize the participation of the “white” refugees in the ritual under analysis. En la denominada “Crónica de Santiago Avendaño”, se describe el asesinato de treinta y dos mujeres en el marco de las exequias de Painé, principal autoridad, cacique o lonko de los rankülche de Leubucó, a mediados del siglo XIX, en la actual provincia de La Pampa (Argentina).Para realizar este análisis partimos de los aportes teóricos de la antropóloga Rita Segato sobre las relaciones entre crímenes de mujeres y disputas por el poder, y del texto de Gayatri Spivak “¿Puede hablar el subalterno?”, que incluye un análisis del suttee desde la teoría de la subalternidad.Hasta el momento se ha sostenido que la crónica identifica dos motivos para matar a las mujeres: por viudas y por brujas. Pretendemos analizar, a partir de esta fuente y de otras del siglo XIX (principalmente de Luis De la Cruz y Lucio Mansilla), cómo se construyeron las categorías de viudas y brujas. También queremos hacer visible la participación de los refugiados “blancos” en el ritual que estamos analizando. No chamado "Santiago Avendaño Chronicle, descreve o assassinato de trinta e duas mulheres em conexão com o funeral de Paine, principal autoridade, o chefe ou lonko Leubuco Rankulche de meados do século XIX, na província de La Pampa (Argentina). Para realizar esta análise, partimos de contribuições teóricas da antropóloga Rita Segato sobre a relação entre os crimes das mulheres e disputas de poder, eo texto de Gayatri Spivak "Pode o subalterno falar?", que inclui uma análise da teoria suttee de subserviência. Até agora tem sido defendido que crônico identifica duas razões para matar as mulheres, e as viúvas e as bruxas. Tente analisar a partir dessa fonte século XIX e outras (principalmente Luis de la Cruz e Lucio Mansilla), foram construídas categorias de viúvos e bruxas. Também queremos fazer participação visível do "branco" refugiados no ritual que estamos analisando. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/runa/article/view/709 10.34096/runa.v32i2.709 spa Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/runa/article/view/709/687 RUNA, archivo para las ciencias del hombre; Vol. 32 No. 2 (2011); 111-126 RUNA, archivo para las ciencias del hombre; Vol. 32 Núm. 2 (2011); 111-126 RUNA, archivo para las ciencias del hombre; v. 32 n. 2 (2011); 111-126 1851-9628 0325-1217 Viudas Brujas Violencia Feminismo Rankülches Viúvas bruxas Feminismo Violência Rankulche Widows Witches Violence Feminism Rankülches Widows and witches.
