Abstract
Los actuales territorios en que viven los pueblos indígenas están cruzados por diversos tipos de fronteras y delimitaciones administrativas que los constituyen. Se entrecruzan y superponen nociones tales como comunas y comunidades, junto a la irrupción de nuevas definiciones como “áreas de desarrollo indígena”, lof, ayllarewe, sector, entre otros. Estas denominaciones, algunas estatales, otras surgidas desde los actores locales refieren siempre a un mismo espacio, no obstante, los significados que encierran son distintos y a veces hasta divergentes y cada uno de ellos busca dar cuenta del uso, permanencia, presencia y control sobre el territorio. Desde una etnografía realizada en territorio lafkenche de la Araucanía observamos lo que ocurre con un mismo espacio territorial que es leído y vivido desde una mirada administrativa municipal con cruces de la política indígena nacional y desde una perspectiva cultural mapuche. Estas miradas y vivencias políticas del territorio dan cuenta de alianzas, disputas, estrategias, y discursos que lo configuran, donde muchas veces lo administrativo y la política local se vuelve el contenedor de la mirada histórica cultural- constriñéndose el territorio a los límites políticos del Estado y sus estrategias de acción e intervención.
The current territories where indigenous people live are crossed by different kinds of boundaries and administrative boundaries which constitute them. Notions as communes and communities, as well as the irruption of new definitions such as "area of indigenous development", lof, ayllarewe, among others, overlap and intersect. These denominations, some of them state-owned, others arising from the local actors, always refer to the same space, nevertheless, the meanings that they contain are different and sometimes even divergent and each one of them aim to show the use, continuity, presence and control over the territory.From the ethnography conducted in a lafkenche territory of the Araucanía, we watch how the same space is read from an administrative state-owned view, influenced by national indigenous politics, and from a cultural mapuche pers-pective. These views and political experiences of the territory show alliances, disputes, strategies and discourses that configure it, where many times, the administrative becomes the container of the historical-cultural view, constraining the territory to the political boundaries of the state and its action and intervention strategies.
