  • Torres Del Paine National Park, Patagonia – Chile 2012: Work Experience in Extreme Behavior Conditions 1 in the Context of Global Warming
    Proceedings of the Fourth International Symposium on Fire Economics, Planning, and Policy: Climate Change and Wildfires Mega Wildfire in the World Biosphere Reserve (UNESCO), Torres del Paine National Park, Patagonia – Chile 2012: Work Experience In Extreme Behavior Conditions 1 in the Context of Global Warming René Cifuentes Medina2 Abstract Mega wildfires are critical, high-impact events that cause severe environmental, economic and social damage, resulting, in turn, in high-cost suppression operations and the need for mutual support, phased use of resources and the coordinated efforts of civilian government agencies, the armed forces, private companies and the international community. The mega forest fire that struck the Torres del Paine National Park and World Biosphere Reserve in the southern Magallanes region of Chile, in the period from December 2011 to February 2012, was caused by the negligent act of a tourist, in an area of difficult access by land and under extreme behavior conditions that made rapid access of ground attack resources even more difficult and made air attack impossible. Factors that influenced the event from the beginning were rapid rate of spread, high caloric intensity, resistance to control and long- distance emission of firebrands. On the other hand, the effects of climate change and global warming are being felt and viewed worldwide as a real threat, generating perfect scenarios for the occurrence of fires of this kind. Thus, this fire serves as a concrete example worthy of analysis for its magnitude, the considerable resources and means used, the level of complexity in attack operations, the great logistical deployments that had to be implemented due to the remoteness and inaccessibility of the site, the complications that had to be overcome, its impact on tourism and the local economy, the extensive media coverage it received, and its considerable political impact.

  • Historia Y Conflicto Mapuche. Lorena Parra Y Fabián Vergara. 0,8 MB
    Historia y conflicto Mapuche Lorena Parra y Fabián Vergara TU Dresden (Universidad de Talca) 30 páginas _________________________ Introducción La historia Mapuche presenta dos momentos distintos en su desarrollo, estos permiten comprender el sentido de las transformaciones que como pueblo transitó desde su pasado más remoto hasta nuestro días. Una forma de establecer la separación o quiebre entre ambos, es prestar atención al instante en que el Estado chileno anexa definitivamente este territorio y población a la actual soberanía nacional. Proceso que si bien se inicia a mediados del siglo pasado, se consuma el año 1881, instante en que el último malón organizado para frenar la penetración del ejército chileno y la fundación de Temuco, sucumbe militarmente e inicia el tránsito hacia la historia contemporáneo mapuche. En el primero de ellos observamos a una sociedad, que asentada milenariamente en la zona centro sur del país, comienza a experimentar profundas transformaciones ante el contacto con el elemento europeo que llega a estas tierras. Estos cambios, que influyeron en el aspecto económico, social y político de su cultura, tendrán como contexto una situación de independencia política y expansión territorial. Mientras que el segundo se desenvuelve en un escenario completamente adverso para su desarrollo como pueblo, imponiéndosele una cultura y destino totalmente distinto al curso histórico que tenían los hechos hasta ese momento. Dominación y dependencia serán los nuevos elementos que cruzarán e identificarán esta nueva etapa. A continuación caracterizamos cada uno de éstos. 2. Teorías de su Origen A continuación se presentan dos teorías a cerca del origen del pueblo mapuche y son las siguientes; Ricardo Latcham: Postula la diferencia "étnica " entre mapuche , por una parte; y picunche y huilliche, por otra.

Abstract This article approaches the rebellions of the Mapuche people from a longue-durée perspective, from the Occupation of the Araucanía in 1861 to the recent events of 2020. Among other things, the article explores the Popular Unity (UP) period, and the ‘Cautinazo’ in particular, considered here as an uprising that synthesised the discourses and aspirations of the Mapuche people dating back to the Occupation, while also repoliticising them by foregrounding demands for land restitution.

Using original documents I gathered in research trips to Chile and Spain, I am able to reconstruct the debates that went on both sides of the Atlantic over funds, protection from ’ th pirates, and indigenous slavery that so defined Chile s formative 17 century. While my conclusions are unique, frontier residents from Paraguay to northern New Spain were also dealing with volatile indigenous alliances, threats from European enemies, and questions about how their tiny settlements could get and keep the attention of the crown.
