Main Article Content
Abstract
(analytical): in this article the authors describe the conceptions of cultural identity that are expressed by young evangelical Christian Aymara women from the region of Tarapacá in Chile. There is a gap in the scientific knowledge regarding the identity processes that occur in the Pentecostal Aymara population, including systematic gender distinctions. The material is part of a major study and is based in 25 in-depth interviews with members of the Aymara communities that included men and women from both rural and urban sectors between January and September 2013. The study uses data from interviews with 8 evangelical university students (aged between 18 and 29 years). Three results are highlighted by the authors: their relation with masculinity, language as an identification resource and territory as a modality of identity. Finally, the article analyzes the importance of reflexivity about the researcher's own assumptions in investigation such as factors that obscure the processes of certain social groups.
Key words: cultural identity, protestantism, aymara, indigenous people, youth (Unesco Social Science Thesaurus).
