¿Nadies? ¿Sin nadie? ¿Mapuche? Disensos y recorridos contra el racismo desde los barrios periféricos de Viedma al centro

Abstract

Based on interviews and ethnographic records of protests that displaced through the city of Viedma (Río Negro province) from the popular neighborhoods to the center, this work analyzes how racism impacts on the daily lives of these people —particularly among the Mapuche collectives— and, in turn, how they confront hegemonic narratives and convey their strategies of resistance and strengthening. While hegemonic discourses reproduce racism and naturalize historical conditioning, the discourses produced by Mapuche collectives criticize these effects and propose a dissident reading of the racialization processes, through which they question the role of the State and reflect on a shared, silenced, history from which they seek to rebuild their ties as Mapuche people.
