Gendered Geographies of Elimination: Decolonial Feminist Geographies in Latin American Settler Contexts Sofia Zaragocin Universidad San Francisco de Quito, Quito, Ecuador; sofia.zaragocin@gmail.com Abstract: Gendered geographies of elimination further settler colonialism’s influence on conceptual discussions in human geography on contemporary forms of the place- based death of indigenous peoples. Through work stemming from scholarship on the gendering of settler colonialism, this paper adds to narratives on place annihilation and dispossession of indigenous territory tied to the slow death of racialised, gendered and sexualised populations. Building on incipient reflections in geography with settler colo- nialism, I explore the geographic implications from the perspective of Epera women, indigenous women belonging to a trinational ethnicity experiencing elimination along the Ecuador–Colombia borderland from the perspective of decolonial feminist geogra- phy frameworks. I claim that attrition implied in settler colonialism’s logic of elimination is a territorial project demonstrated in place-based elimination and gendered embodied elimination. Keywords: settler colonialism, logic of elimination, decolonial feminist geography, Indigenous women, cultural amalgamation Introduction Along the Ecuador–Colombia borderland, the indigenous settlements of Epera (or Eperara Siapidaara) are acutely aware of the risk that they are under the threat of disappearance as a distinctive ethnocultural group. This paper explores how slow attrition in the numbers and embodied-cultural distinctiveness of Epera people arises in contexts of sustained encroachment on their territory, environmental degradation and state abandonment. The paper particularly focuses on how these forms of structural everyday violence are experienced in the spaces and bodies of indigenous women, who experience multiple levels of violence. Epera women’s everyday experiences and voices point to the idea of place-based elimination and embodied amalgamation and are the basis for the ideas developed in this paper. To depict the elimination and disappearance of the Epera, settler colonial studies and decolonial feminist geography frameworks are used to examine how the Epera are subjected to ethnic elimination, triggered by settler colonial dynamics, which represent a structure and not an event (Morgensen 2011; Wolfe 1994, 1999). In this paper, the term ethnic elimination is drawn from Patrick Wolfe’s logic of elimination to focus on the Eperara Siapidaara’s ethnic experience of Antipode Vol. 0 No. 0 2018 ISSN 0066-4812, pp. 1–20 doi: 10.1111/anti.12454 ª 2018 The Author.
