Un mundo en restauración: relaciones entre ontología y política entre los mapuche

Abstract

In the study field of indigenous politics, the agency of force and of non human being, have always been considered an “excess”. However, the indigenous movements themselves have begun to reflect upon the way in which their relations with those beings would widen the meanings of what we normally circumscribe as “politic”. The politic, does not only involve the struggle for the right to sustain their worlds facing the hegemonic anthologies, but also the challenges required in the endeavor of restoring worlds inhabited in partial and heterogeneous ways. Following the experiences of the Mapuche Movement from the Northwest of Chubut (Argentina), for which the production of their world is still a politic project in course, I expose some analytical categories that can help us think the relation between ontologies and politics from theoretical perspectives that articulate the affective experiences of world (ontologic conflict), the heterogeneity of their expressions (narrations) and the historicity of their struggles (restoration)
