Archivo y memorias en la reconstrucción de trayectorias subalternizadas mapuche

Abstract

The opportunity to think about the relationship between memories, archives, and Human Rights has allowed me to review the different ways in which the work with archives located in Argentine Nor-Patagonia, in connection with Mapuche social memories, has contributed to contemporary projects of community rearticulation. Building on the discussions encouraged by the research teams I participate in and my own research work, I am interested in analyzing how the relationship between indigenous peoples and archives, proposed from colonial and nineteenth-century frameworks, can be subverted to be understood as a restorative project when the connections between archive and memory allow for the reconstruction of subordinated or omitted trajectories within official narratives.
