5/27 Draft Questions
1. In reading the Jenkins article, I found myself wondering why anti-mining women activists have been so invisible in scholarly work? Does anyone know why this might be or what factors come into play in the erasure of these voices?
2. What role does narrative control and issues of representation play in the "increasing tendency towards the criminalization and violent, repression of protestors (Jenkins, 443)?"
3. I thought Jenkins assertion of the necessity of a narrative that is not gender-blind interesting, does anyone have thoughts on the role this gender-blindness plays?
4. In Maria de la Torre Amaguana's chapter on contemporary indigenous identity, I was most struck by "In this way, we have tried to live a meritorious life, free from violence and discrimination, free of poverty, exclusion, racism, and everything that has truncated our personal, familial, communitarian spiritual and social spheres.. (83). I guess my question is, is it possible? and how does a people heal from the effects of those oppressions?
