Repensando la Construcción y los Abordajes del Espacio Mapuche en Argentina

Abstract

The initial question that challenged us in the panel "Indigenous geographies in Chile? Opportunities, responsibilities and challenges", about how or why the emergence of indigenous geographies in Chile came about, forced me to think about the reasons for the lack of indigenous issues in the geographical discipline in Argentina. And it also forced me to look at many works by geographers who at some point, especially working with cartographies, showed some indigenous presence, who geolocated land grants or who mapped indigenous groups with state recognition, although these were mostly relegated to the early nineteenth century and then gradually disappeared as actors in the various studies.
