Abstract
[Resumen] Este trabajo indaga cómo operó la brujería sexual dentro de las relaciones de poder sexogenéricas a mediados del periodo especial (1990-2000) en Cuba. Desde la metodología cualitativa se analiza la brujería sexual en la sociedad cubana durante la mencionada etapa, usando varios testimonios, entre ellos el de mi bisabuela, una santera cubana con cerca de cincuenta años de práctica La reflexión concluye que la brujería sexual opera en tres sentidos fundamentales: primero, como arma ante la dominación masculina que compensa el cambiante equilibrio de poder entre los sexos dentro de la relación marital, sobre la base de las costumbres y las leyes del orden social; segundo, integra las relaciones de poder entre mujeres evidenciando una enemistad genérica femenina; y tercero crea jerarquías sexuales y sociales que se entrecruzan con otras categorías naturalizadas de desigualdad.
[Abstract] This work explores how sexual witchcraft operated within gender-power power relations in the middle of the special period (1990-2000) in Cuba. From the qualitative methodology, sexual witchcraft in Cuban society is analyzed during the mentioned stage, using several testimonies, among them the one of a Cuban santera with about fifty years of practice. The reflection concludes that sexual witchcraft operates in three fundamental senses: first , as a weapon against male domination that compensates for the changing balance of power between the sexes within the marital relationship, based on customs and the laws of social order; second, it integrates the power relations between women evidencing a feminine generic enmity; and third, it creates sexual and social hierarchies that intersect with other naturalized categories of inequality.
