Abstract
This paper focuses on Inka textiles that apparently were made specifically for or were used by males or females in pre-Columbian times. In particular, I address relationships among tapestry-woven objects (especially those featuring tukapus, rectangular design blocks) and those created using warp-patterned structures, centering on garments and personal accessories. While there are fewer extant full-size garments associated with females than with males, the availability of a large number of miniature female-associated garments both facilitates and complicates gendered comparisons.
Estructura, Diseño y Género en Inka Textiles
Resumen -- Este ensayo se enfoca en textiles Inka que aparentemente fueron creados o utilizados específicamente por personas masculinas o femeninas en tiempos pre-columbinos. En particular, se abarcan las relaciones entre los objetos tejidos en tapiz (especialmente los que incluyen tukapus, bloques rectangulares de diseños) creados con estructuras en patrones de urdimbre, en particular vestimenta y accesorios personales. Aunque existen menos ejemplares de prendas al tamaño pleno asociados con individuos femeninos que los asociados con individuos masculinos, la existencia de gran número de prendas en miniatura con asociaciones femeninas tanto facilita como complica las comparaciones de género.
