We start by saying that one is educated to be a woman or a man because we understand that one is not only born a man or a woman, but that biological determinations need, and in fact they are, to be completed via an infinity of sociocultural mechanisms of all kinds to become a man. or woman within a given culture in time and place. Another presupposition from which we start is that cultures are always in a process of change and that speaking of Andean peasant communities, and in general of Andean culture, is a fairly broad and somewhat generic term, since the communities are in a process of change. of permanent change and that, according to the ethnographic data that we have or choose, we can say if these changes are fast or slow or superficial or fundamental.
