The Practices of the assemblies of La Rioja, Argentina (2006-2018), in terms of political love and feminine politics

Abstract

The problem we raised in the present work is framed in the modern-colonial-capitalist-patriarchal civilizational crisis: crisis of capital, ecological, economic, systemic chaos (Wallerstein 2004); where humanity and nature are the focus of systematic exploitation and destruction. The implementation of extractive policies of the Argentinian State and the provincial States as a way of development generated resistance, popular organization and overflows that delegitimize this imposed development model. Against these state policies, the defense of human and non-human forms of life is opposed (Navarro 2016), which have at their center the care and reproduction (Gutiérrez Aguilar 2014) of all Lives.This collective essay reflects the sentiments of the practices carried out by the assemblies in La Rioja province, in connection with assemblies, groups and indigenous communities throughout the country and in Latin America. During these past years, from the first outbreaks of denial to the implementation of mining policies in our province (2006), to the times when this essay is written (2018), our ways of life have changed.
