Summary
A feminist antiextractivist critique of the Qhapaq Ñan, an Andean road system, reveals its role as a tool of neoextractivism and patriarchal violence in Argentina. The study argues that the designation of Qhapaq Ñan as a political priority in Argentina lacks meaningful consultation with Indigenous peoples, instead promoting a collaborative narrative that overlooks their rights under international agreements like ILO Convention 169. It also exposes how this process perpetuates sexual violence and objectifies Indigenous life. The research proposes despatrimonialization as an alternative to the capitalist framework of heritage, aiming to center Indigenous agency and challenge systemic exploitation.
