Las subjetividades políticas mapuche y la interculturalidad: lenguajes y contiendas en el contexto de San Martín de los Andes

Abstract

During the writing of this thesis I thought of San Martín as an event-place (Massey 2005) where the inhabitants face the inevitable challenge and always negotiation conflict, through our different stories and trajectories, a sense of unity. I hope this thesis is a contribution to be able to think about our temporary meeting as Samartinenses from us more inclusive and better criteria of coexistence. I am content to have helped to promote the encounter, the constellation of trajectories, always respecting the processes of each one, the different temporalities and speeds, or configurations, but trusting that, by gathering all these stories, we could produce a better knowledge of the social relations of the past and the present (Ingold 2011). I recognize that the greatest efforts for knowledge production are being made by the Mapuche people, communities and organizations that hold designs, consensus, demands and political-spiritual projects to challenge the limited understandings - but hegemonic - of reality.
