Abstract
El paisaje es un elemento que influye en la articulación de las relaciones sociales y de los roles de género, en especial uno de los elementos que lo compone: el agua, pues esta está vinculada con las actividades de mantenimiento, como la limpieza, el abastecimiento de agua, la cocina, etc.; las cuales son tareas desarrolladas frecuentemente por mujeres. Panamá Viejo, por sus características paisajísticas y sociales, invita a estudiar la correlación entre el agua, la sociedad y el género. El sitio arqueológico sufrió una carestía crónica de agua potable próxima, debido a la contaminación y enturbiamiento de las aguas del Río Abajo. Esto obligó a la ciudad a buscar fuentes de agua alternativas en lugares alejados, en los límites del espacio controlado por el asentamiento, o construir sistemas de captación de agua de lluvia, de entre los que destaca el aljibe del convento de clausura de la Limpia Concepción, una estructura que se convirtió en protector de su pureza y en una fuente de poder socioeconómico, situando a estas “pobres monjas” en una situación privilegiada.
Landscape affects the articulation of gender roles and relationships, especially in relation to one of its components: Water. The water is related to labors of sustenance and maintenance, such as cooking, cleaning, supplying water, etc often associated with women. Due to the landscape and its social characteristics, Panama Viejo invites analysis of the correlation between water, society, and gender. The archaeological site became famous for of a chronic shortage of drinkable water near the settlement, as a consequence of the pollution and cloudiness of the Abajo`s River. That situation led the city to search for natural sources of water outside its limits of the settlement control or to build rain catchments systems, including a reservoir in the Convent of the Inmaculate Conception, which, also, protected their purity and became a source of social-economic power.
