Originally in Santiago to research the role of hip hop in the Mapuche rights movement (the Mapuche being the most populous indigenous group in Chile), I made a point of attending hip hop shows of all kinds: mainstream, underground, popular, indie, anything I could find. This approach led me to a variety of hip hop concerts and festivals in support of the student movement, some of which brought me inside schools under occupation by student protestors. As an outsider at these events, and an outsider with a particular research interest, I immediately began noticing references to the Mapuche. I took note of the almost ubiquitous appearance of the Mapuche kultrun symbol1 on t-shirts, banners, and flags of protestors. I heard frequent references to “solidarity with our Mapuche brothers and sisters” by speakers and performers and read similar messages on banners and in graffiti. I listened to retellings of “old Mapuche folktales,” like “Lágrimas de oro y plata,” offered as examples of the kind of values espoused by students in opposition to the government.2 I viewed photography exhibitions 1 The kultrun symbol shows the four cardinal points in a Mapuche worldview and represents both wisdom and the earth. The kultrun appears in the center of the Mapuche national flag, as well as on the drums used by machi (shamans) during religious and healing ceremonies. 2 Lágrimas de oro y plata, tears of gold and silver, is a popular story about ancient Araucanians asking whether gold or silver came first. Nano Stern wrote a pop song about it. The moral, more or less, is that gold and silver are evil. v that displayed pictures of student protestors in violent confrontations with police next to pictures of Mapuche protestors in violent confrontations with police. While witnessing these varied references to or connections with Mapuche, I became curious as to the reasoning behind students' apparent push for solidarity and interest in depicting themselves as aligned with Mapuche activists. Although I can see how the two movements might intersect in some ways, the references I witnessed did not make these intersections explicit. The students' move to align with Mapuche seemed to me particularly curious given that while the student movement enjoys fairly widespread popular support for their cause, the Mapuche movement in Chile is widely represented and denounced as a destructive bunch of trouble-making terrorists—not to mention the fact that Mapuche face everyday discrimination. Also, given the absence of self- identified Mapuche in visible roles at any of the events I witnessed or in the leadership of the student movement, I wondered to what extent actors within the Mapuche rights movement participated in or might benefit from these expressions of solidarity. What, I began asking, are the stakes of the student movement's alignment with the Mapuche rights movement? Are the stakes different for student protestors than for Mapuche? In order to press into these questions, I began to examine each of the two movements more closely with the goal of determining where, in goals and/ or practices, they diverged and/ or united. The Project vi My project is a choreographic and historiographic analysis of practices by which contemporary activists in Santiago, Chile create new embodied frameworks for the production of space. I study the relationship between the ongoing Chilean student rebellion and the Mapuche rights movement by examining divergences between the respective spatial practices of protest undertaken by student protestors and Mapuche activists. By spatial practices, I mean the embodied activities through which people produce and alter space. While student protestors frequently make performative and discursive connections to Mapuche, I question whether these connections constitute political alignments or appropriations of indigeneity. In order to investigate whether student protest practices align with Mapuche activist political projects, I analyze the ways that both student protestors and Mapuche activists enact radical reconfigurations of space in the city of Santiago through their embodied practices. I identify various performative mechanisms by which student protestors and Mapuche activists produce and change space, including (but not limited to) choreographic restructurings, sonic interventions, and embodied reimaginings. Student protestors demand free public education of high quality for all Chileans, in contrast to the current system. A voucher method instated as part of the military dictatorship's neoliberal reforms structures access to education unequally based on family income. The privatization of much of the school system has turned education into a commodity and led to rising costs and diminishing quality. Protestors call for constitutional reform regulating the national government's oversight of education as a free, not-for-profit system with expanded subsidies. Like student protestors, Mapuche vii activists also come into conflict with the neoliberal policies of the state, finding that government priorities value development projects that destroy Mapuche lands and lifeways over Mapuche welfare. Mapuche activists struggle for the restoration of seized territory, an end to the destruction of Mapuche farmlands, and recognition as a sovereign people. Students have sought to articulate their demands through extended occupations of school campuses and large-scale interventions in public spaces. While Mapuche activists rely on similar tactics, spatial occupation holds a unique significance for a group whose primary demands include the restoration of ancestral lands and recognition of indigenous sovereignty. Despite the surface-level similarity of student and Mapuche protest tactics, I identify key differences in spatial practices they enact. My ethnographic work focuses on case studies in order to show the distinct embodied frameworks for the production of space posed by students, often in contrast to those posed by Mapuche. My historiographic work historicizes the spatial practices I identify through an analysis of protest focused on spatiality. While most scholarly treatments of student and indigenous social movements conceive of protest as deliberative political enunciations addressed to a state apparatus, my project proposes an understanding of protest as spatial practice. This focus on space allows for a careful analysis of the differences between the everyday embodied practices of activists in the respective movements. Basic Background viii Since May 2011, Chilean university and high school students have been protesting institutionalized inequalities in the educational system, a system that displays the effects of the Pinochet

  • Aspects of Social Justice Ally Work in Chilean Historical Fiction: the Case of the Pacification of Araucanía
    Aspects of Social Justice Ally Work in Chilean Historical Fiction: The Case of the Pacification of Araucanía Katherine Karr-Cornejo Whitworth University Abstract Majority-culture writers often depict cultures different from their own, but approaching cultures to which an author does not belong can be challenging. How might we read dominant-culture portrayals of marginalized cultures that tell stories of injustice? In this paper I utilize the frame of identity development in social justice allies in order to understand the narratives dominant-culture authors use in fiction to reflect sympathetic views of indigenous justice claims. In order to do so, I study three historical novels set in Araucanía during the second half of the nineteenth century, considering historiographical orientation, representation of cultural difference, and understanding of sovereignty:Casas en el agua (1997) by Guido Eytel, Vientos de silencio (1999) by J.J. Faundes, and El lento silbido de los sables (2010) by Patricio Manns. I will show that fiction, even in validating indigenous justice claims, does not overcome past narratives of dominance. Representations can deceive us. The Mapuche warriors of Alonso de Ercilla’s epic poem La Araucana are safely in the past, and their cultural difference poses no threat to present-day nor- mative Chilean culture. However, that normative culture glorifies these fictional representations on the one hand and deprecates Mapuche communities today on the other. How did that hap- pen? Various Mapuche groups resisted Spanish colonization for centuries, restricting European expansion in today’s southern Chile. After Chilean independence from Spain in the early nine- teenth century, the conflict continued.

The Maichin Valley is home to approximately 390 Mapuche families living in 8 communities who practice agro-silvo- pastoralism. The Mapuche communities in the Maichin had been affected by the creation of the Villarrica National Park and Forest Reserve and policies introduced by the National Forestry Corporation (CONAF) that limited access to upland summer pasture areas inside the reserve in order to protect the habitat of Araucaria araucana, a tree from which the Mapuche in this area derive their name (Pehuenche) and hold sacred.

  • An Alternative Mapuche Perspective
    An Alternative Mapuche Perspective Comparing Leaders with the Rural Non-Politically Involved Authors: Jonas Borgelin and Marcus Olsson Tutor: Manuela Nilsson School of Social Science Peace and Development Studies Bachelor’s Thesis 2FU31E Spring 2015 Abstract Chile is portrayed as a Latin American success story when it comes to democratic transition, development and fiscal growth. However, the largest indigenous group, the Mapuche, have been marginalized by the government and its policies, as a conflict has been present ever since the independence. The complexity of the situation, and the lack of information about different Mapuche groups, has created a research gap where little is known about the rural non-politically involved Mapuche, where emphasis has rather been put on the demands of Mapuche leaders. Through the concepts and theories of Ted Robert Gurr, regarding ethnic groups and group mobilization, this research sets out to investigate the grievances of rural non-politically involved Mapuche, and compare those to the grievances of the Mapuche leaders. By doing that, this study will analyze the level of cohesion within the Mapuche population, and whether or not they are mobilizing successfully. The research takes place in highly Mapuche populated Padre las Casas, Araucanía, where interviews are conducted with rural non-politically involved Mapuche. To investigate the grievances and demands of the Mapuche leaders, this study uses Chilean and international secondary sources. The results of this research indicate that the differences, in terms of grievances and demands, are highly diverse between rural non-politically involved Mapuche and Mapuche leaders. Keywords: Non-politically involved Mapuche, Mapuche leaders, Grievances, Cohesion, Mobilization Table of Contents 1.

Guardiamarina Riquelme 586, Santiago, Chile [email protected] RESUMEN El conflicto territorial y político entre el pueblo mapuche y el Estado chileno se ha venido desarrollando de forma continua al menos desde 1860. El objetivo de este trabajo es examinar la forma en que la investigación arqueológica chilena, entendida en razón de una política científica del Estado, ha relacionado discursiva y prácticamente los contextos arqueológicos del sur de Chile -y la construcción de un relato histórico- con los pueblos que aún hoy reivindican una unidad político-territorial independiente. A través de la revisión de la literatura arqueológica para el alfarero tardío en el Gulumapu, se propone una lectura que caracteriza, en dos períodos desde el siglo XX, la forma en que el discurso sobre la prehistoria se entronca dentro del proyecto del Estado nacional chileno y sus condiciones sociopolíticas contingentes. En ese sentido, se observa una primera etapa de construcción de la historia mapuche ancestral en perspectiva de su disolución dentro de una identidad chilena unitaria; y una fase actual en la cual la prehistoria regional se elabora más bien disociada respecto de la historia tardía y contemporánea del pueblo mapuche. Palabras clave: conflicto mapuche, narrativa histórica, arqueología indígena, centro-sur chile.

On June 10, 2017, Luis Marileo, a Mapuche activist, was killed in a dispute with the owner of a large estate and former official of the Carabineros, the Chilean national police. Some press accounts described this event as a “failed robbery,” while others maintained that the Mapuche youth sought only dialogue over a lost horse.1 Luis Marileo was first arrested at sixteen under antiterrorist legislation for allegedly setting fire to a bus. Although he was a minor, he was imprisoned for seven months and ultimately released for lack of evidence, only to be imprisoned again on a different charge.

Abstract This study examines Mapuche political organization in Chile from 1920-1960 through the lens of transnational indigenismo. In that period, politicians, academics and social reformers across the Americas were questioning how to incorporate indigenous populations into modern national states. While many historical accounts of similar phenomena in other countries have drawn categorical distinctions between indigenismo (as a movement led by white elites) and indigenous activism (led by Indians themselves), this work places the two phenomena side-by-side to explore connections between them. That approach shows that collaboration, periodic conflict and strategic alliance making were important components of indigenous politics in Chile. It also brings indigenous agency to the fore, and in doing so challenges historical interpretations of indigenismo that have characterized it as a paternalistic mechanism of the neocolonial state. It joins a growing body of scholarship that recognizes indigenismo as an important influence on and precursor to identity-based indigenous social movements that emerged in the late-twentieth century.
