This article examines the role of gender as an embodied site of political control and resistance within Mapuche-Capuchin relations in the early period of Bavarian Capuchin mission-building in Chile (1897-1922). The study frames agricultural science education as a civilizing method employed in the Capuchin mission schools, targeting Mapuche children. The aim was to educate Mapuche children in Christian and Western gender roles, moral behavior, and rural economic occupations. Amid the overarching conflict over land rights and privatization between Mapuche communities and the Chilean government, the state's support for the Capuchin order's evangelizing mission was perceived as a long-term strategy to appropriate Indigenous lands and assimilate the Mapuche into the rural and urban workforce. The article illustrates how the conflict over embodied gender roles disrupted Mapuche socioeconomic relations.
本文考察了性别在巴伐利亚方济各会传教士在智利建立传教团的早期（1897-1922 年）与马普切-方济各会关系中作为政治控制和抵抗的体现场所的作用。该研究将农业科学教育作为方济各会传教士学校采用的文明化方法，针对马普切儿童。目的是教育马普切儿童基督教和西方的性别角色、道德行为和农村经济职业。在马普切社区与智利政府之间关于土地权利和私有化的总体冲突中，国家支持方济各会传教士的传教使命被视为长期战略，旨在侵占原住民土地并将马普切人融入农村和城市劳动力。本文说明了对体现性别角色的冲突如何打破了马普切人的社会经济关系。
