| description | This article uses a gender-based approach to study the different representations of Shuar marriage developed by Salesian missionaries. The study covers the 1893-1925 period, which witnessed the earliest arrival of the Salesian missionaries into de Gualaquiza-Mendez Apostolic Vicariate, in what is now the Morona-Santiago province in Ecuador. This territory is located in the ill-defined southern Ecuadorian-Peruvian Amazonian border. It is inhabited by several aents chicham indigenous ethnic groups which include the shuar, achuar, wampis, awajún y shiwiar peoples. This article is based in a previous qualitative and historical investigation of the written accounts made by the Salesian priests in the period under study. The article makes the assumption that gender is a historically flexible category, which is expressed differently according to the specific contexts where it operates. It becomes evident that the ways in which the Salesian missionaries understood men and women, the place of women throughout their lifecycle, and the stereotypes through they comprehend gender are directly derived from a binary and androcentric standpoint. This approach is closely connected with the main objective of the missionaries in the period under study: provide a legitimate rationale for their efforts to evangelize the local population. |

En el presente artículo la mirada se centra en examinar las diferentes representaciones promovidas por la misión salesiana en torno al matrimonio shuar, desde una perspectiva de género. El contexto abarca el primer período de la incursión salesiana, entre 1893 y 1925, en el interior del Vicariato Apostólico de Méndez y Gualaquiza –actual provincia de Morona Santiago–. Este territorio está localizado en la indefinida frontera del sur de la Amazonía ecuatoriana, colindante con el Perú, y habitado por los aénts chicham (shuar, achuar, wampis, awajún y shiwiar). Este artículo se basa en una investigación de carácter cualitativo e histórico y refleja un estudio de los relatos efectuados por los sacerdotes salesianos de la época. El abordaje interpretativo parte de la perspectiva de género, la cual se considera una categoría flexible en el tiempo y acorde a las condiciones de la realidad concreta. De esta forma se concluye que la concepción sobre hombres y mujeres, la posición de la mujer a través del ciclo de vida, y las representaciones y estereotipos de género que construyeron los misioneros salesianos alrededor del matrimonio shuar proceden de una óptica binaria y androcéntrica. Tal óptica se relaciona con el propósito principal de los misioneros en este período: justificar su intervención evangelizadora al interior de este pueblo. Neste artigo, o foco é examinar as diferentes representações promovidas pela missão salesiana em torno do casamento Shuar, a partir de uma perspectiva de gênero. O contexto abrange o primeiro período da incursão salesiana, entre 1893 e 1925, no Vicariato Apostólico de Méndez y Gualaquiza - atual território da província de Morona Santiago -. Este território está localizado na fronteira indefinida do sul da Amazônia equatoriana, contíguo ao Peru, e habitado pelos Aénts Chicham (formado pelos povos Shuar, Achuar, Wampis, Awajún e Shiwiar). Este artigo parte de uma investigação qualitativa e histórica e reflete um estudo dos relatos dos sacerdotes salesianos da época. No texto, o gênero é considerado uma categoria flexível no tempo e nas condições da realidade concreta. Desse modo, conclui-se que a concepção sobre o homem e a mulher, a posição da mulher ao longo do ciclo vital e as representações e estereótipos de gênero que os missionários salesianos construíram em torno do casamento shuar vêm de uma perspectiva binária e androcêntrica. Esta perspectiva está relacionada com o propósito principal dos missionários neste período: justificar a sua intervenção evangelizadora sobre estes povos.
