| description | This article argues that it is possible to ‘de-patriarchalize’ power and to question the preeminence of masculine over feminine authority, which is visible both in the public and private realms. The social arrangement among the Mixe in Oaxaca Mexico proposes a shift in the exercise of power. To arrive at this idea an ethnographic study (stories and in-depth interviews) was carried out. The analysis critiques the notion of authority (in its etymological sense, originator/ promoter), adding value to the idea of service as donation to the other person. It proposes the possibility of exercising power without domination or verticality and suggests a rupture between the configuration of capitalist-patriarchal the state-runned forms of public power and the private power managed by capital. Likewise, the notions of political power and their influence, are revised from the experience of the Mixe indigenous communal power. |

The social arrangement among the Mixe in Oaxaca Mexico proposes a shift in the exercise of power. To arrive at this idea an ethnographic study (stories and in-depth interviews) was carried out. The analysis critiques the notion of authority (in its etymological sense, originator/ promoter), adding value to the idea of service as donation to the other person. It proposes the possibility of exercising power without domination or verticality and suggests a rupture between the configuration of capitalist-patriarchal the state-runned forms of public power and the private power managed by capital. Likewise, the notions of political power and their influence, are revised from the experience of the Mixe indigenous communal power. Este artículo plantea que es posible “despatriarcalizar” el poder y cuestionar la autoridad masculina sobre lo femenino, que es visible en lo público y privado. El sistema de reglas que se reproduce en una comunidad de la sierra mixe en Oaxaca (México), propone este cambio en el ejercicio de poder. Para llegar a esta idea, se llevó a cabo una etnografía (historias y entrevistas a profundidad). Este análisis critica la noción de autoridad (en su sentido etimológico, ‘ayudar a crecer’) y agrega valor desde el servicio (la donación hacia la otra persona). Además, el estudio propone la posibilidad de ejercer poder sin dominación ni verticalidad, lo que sugeriría una ruptura entre la configuración del poder de las formas capitalistas-patriarcales de lo público (operado por el Estado) y de lo privado (operado por el capital). Así mismo, se revisan nociones como lo político y el poder y sus márgenes de ejercicio desde la propuesta de poder comunal indígena.
