El tejido mapuche en la poesía actual de cinco mujeres Ayilef, Viviana español This paper aims to reflect on the particular type of response that structures various Mapuche texts. Through the examination of a corpus of contemporary Mapuche poetry written by women in Puelmapu (Argentina), we will delve into how historical processes of genocide and state violence are revisited in these discourses. Simultaneously, we will closely observe how the text incorporates (and is sustained by) the foundational principles of Mapuche kimün. In light of this, we argue that poetry facilitates a spiritual rearticulation and political creativity that occurs in a specific manner within indigenous poetry. Thus, poetry becomes a part of the creative instances within the Mapuche world that, through words, enable a reorganization of its core elements. We propose to analyze these poems through the lens of the category biopoetics, characterized by a particular form of epistemic subjectivity that considers the unity and interrelation of the ethical, political, and ontological dimensions of what it engages with. En este trabajo nos proponemos reflexionar acerca del tipo particular de respuesta que estructura diversos textos mapuche. A partir de la lectura de un corpus de poesía mapuche contemporánea de mujeres escrita en Puelmapu (Argentina), indagaremos en el modo en que los procesos históricos de genocidio y violencia estatal son retomados por esos discursos. A la vez, nos detendremos en observar cómo el texto incorpora (y se sostiene desde) los principios básicos del mapuche kimün. En función de esto, sostendremos que en la poesía se produce una rearticulación espiritual y creatividad política que ocurre de manera específica en la poesía indígena. De ese modo, la poesía se suma a las instancias creativas del mundo mapuche que permiten, a través de la palabra, una reorganización de sus elementos centrales. Nos proponemos leer los poemas a partir de la categoría biopoética, consistente en un tipo particular de subjetividad epistémica que considera la unidad e interrelación de las dimensiones éticas, políticas y ontológicas de aquello que atiende.
