Zapatista women

Gender

Meso-American episteme

Duality-fluidity

Parityequality

Think with heart

Interconnection of all living beings

Emerging gender reconfigurations in Zapatista women discourse are analyzed here. Those gender reexaminations stem from mobile complex processes revealing deeply rooted notions made up by historic, symbolic, and epistemic meanings of statements, such as: parityequality, gender fluidity-duality, benevolent destructive Mother Earth, «commanding by obeying», an authority enforcing community agreements, heart: the basis of knowledge and organization, intersubjectivity towards Earth, the environment, and a communal whole. Those are some paths of their own, rooted on ancestral Meso-American legacies reconfigured. The concept of otroas, compañeroas, niñoas, as an experience lived the present day is introduced, thus deepening the extent of some gender bipolarity, which confers it its inherent feature of ongoing change expressing the fluidity of gender.
