Abstract

This essay discusses gender relations in rural Cochabamba, Bolivia, from a perspective that takes into account the material and cultural aspects of production, politics, and the State. It focuses on the tensions that the conflicting demands of livelihood generate within households and villages, in order to describe how women and men deal with them as gendered subjects. It also examines the role of the state in defining social categories and in prescribing gendered spheres of public and private practices, and analyzes how these prescriptions interplay with entrenched unequal gender relations and ideologies in shaping the gender of politics.
