Desplazamiento y revitalización del mapuzungun : análisis de actores y procesos para la recuperación de la lengua en Virgen Misionera

Abstract

The Virgen Misionera neighborhood is located at kilometer 7.5 of Avenida de los Pioneros, in the western area of San Carlos de Bariloche. In the imaginary of the city, this area is related to the Mapuche people. Nevertheless, the mapuzungun does not have such an obvious presence, and it seems that, In keeping with its status as a subalternized language in other parts of North Patagonia, it was also losing ground to Spanish here. This work seeks to account for the various factors that led Mapuzungun speakers to displace their mother tongue and interrupt its transmission to subsequent generations, while highlighting those that make it possible to think about a revitalization process that starts from the same speakers, that is, “community-centered revitalization”. The main objective of this thesis is to analyze the policies and factors that led to the displacement of the Mapuzungun in the neighborhood, while highlighting those that make it possible to think about a community-based revitalization process.
