Territorialización de la conservación de la naturaleza en Cerro Castillo, Patagonia-Aysén
Esta investigacin examina el carcter poltico de la territorializacin de la conservacin de la naturaleza en Patagonia-Aysn, centrndose en la creacin del Parque Nacional Cerro Castillo (PNCC) como un caso clave en la consolidacin del megaproyecto conservacionista de La Ruta de los Parques de la Patagonia.A travs de entrevistas semiestructuradas con actores clave y observacin en terreno, se exploran las implicancias locales del giro conservacionista…
Biocultural memory of reciprocity
Reconsidering the relationship between humans and more-than-human beings amid global crises has brought reciprocity practices between people and biodiversity to the forefront. We examine social-ecological reciprocity practices within Indigenous territories and their direct connection to biocultural memory. Specifically, we explore the Mapuche practice of trafkintu in the Andean zone of Wallmapu, La Araucanía region of southern Chile. Using a mixe…

Chilean institutional policies and multi-level agents
Introduction As a result of the increasing number of multilateral agreements that Chile has signed, different sectors of consumption have become sources of emissions. In this context attempts to implement guidelines to address this issue have been made. Nevertheless, international policies such as sustainable development goals (SDG) 11–12 often generate dissonance in national and local administrations and have been approached by different instrum…
From the Utopia of Sustainable Development to Sustainable Topoi
The hegemonic discourse of sustainable development adopted as an international alternative solution to the socio-ecological crisis has implied a progression of the modern utopian project and most importantly, an intrinsic contradiction and omission that positions sustainable development as something that is not in any place. To understand, discuss, and transcend this oxymoron, we first review the modern utopian project and analyze its paradigmati…
Dinámicas urbanas en territorio indígena
Mapuche ways of living are diverse and heterogeneous, consisting in part, of residential practices that integrate the surrounding environment, nature, and sites of cultural significance. In the Araucanía region of southern Chile, an indigenous territory has been urbanized, transforming the practices and mobilities of Mapuche inhabitants who are currently trying to preserve their ancestral ways of life framed in explicit struggles for the care of …
The Space-Time Compression of Indigenous Toponymy
The classic approach to research on toponymy is limited to a linguistic focus. This reductionism has had a negative impact on the study of the toponymy of intercultural and indigenous territories, as in the case of the northern Patagonia. Based on a two-year ethnographic study in northern Patagonia, this article analyzes the socio-spatial dimension of Mapuche toponymy, through a mixed methodology involving both data collection and analysis, and a…
Non-metropolitan cities in Latin American urban studies
Non-metropolitan cities are subject to growing attention in Latin American urban studies. However, there is no research that critically analyses the territorial, epistemological and methodological approaches that have been adopted within this line of academic work. This article deals with this knowledge gap, arguing that specialised literature tends to approach non-metropolitan places as mini-metropolises that replicate urban phenomena observed i…
Indígena campesino o indígena urbano? Aproximaciones desde los procesos de movilidad mapuche en la ciudad intermedia de Temuco (Chile)
The article aims to examine relevant aspects of "being an indigenous peasant in the city" through mobility processes. It attends practices and meanings of Mapuche mobility that connect the city of Temuco and its surrounding towns of Maquehue and Labranza (La Araucanía Region, Chile), both with a substantial number of indigenous communities. We identify that the dichotomy between being an indigenous peasant and an indigenous city dweller requires …
Ciudades intermedias
El trabajo es una contribucin al debate de las ciudades intermedias y sus dinmicas de intermediacin. Si bien se reconocen como importantes los aspectos centrales de este debate, se cuestiona su tendencia a homogenizar las ciudades intermedias. Por el contrario, se plantea que es necesario comprender las ciudades intermedias desde las practicas socio-espaciales, en donde la definicin de lugar asoma como elemental para entender las dinmicas de inte…
Ciudades intermedias y gobiernos locales
Las ciudades intermedias se caracterizan por una gran cantidad de interacciones con su territorio circundante y con otras ciudades, lo que implica un desafo para sus gobiernos locales. El presente trabajo aborda estos desafos desde los procesos de intermediacin y en las distintas escalas que generan las prcticas espaciales. La metodologa empleada es mixta, con el trabajo estructurado a partir del enfoque cualitativo de metodologas mviles, complem…
Exploring intermediate cities in Latin America
Intermediate cities have had a key role in urban dynamics and development in Latin America since the second half of the twentieth century, yet the theoretical and methodological approaches to research about these types of city have not been suited to their complexity. Most research on them reduces to demographic criteria, overlooking the fact that they are characterised by intense socio-spatial interactions with their surrounding rural areas and …
Paisajes en Movimiento
La Regin de La Araucana, en trminos de paisaje, ha sido histricamente entendida a partir de sus recursos e hitos naturales, principalmente en funcin de la exaltacin de la regin como destino turstico y productivo. No obstante, esta perspectiva genera al menos dos problemticas para comprender las ciudades de la regin. En primer lugar, no se hace cargo de las prcticas cotidianas de los habitantes de sus ciudades; y en segundo lugar, tiende a posicio…
Towards a landscape ecosophy. Interpreting how the Villarrica-Pucón urban system inhabitants in the Araucanía region of Chile perceive and relate with the dynamics of Landscape
As a reaction to the complex global crisis, the notion of ecological urbanism has emerged in order to understand and attend the inaccuracy between the urban system and the environment of which it is a part. This article suggests that the form we perceive the city-nature relation deeply determines the praxis of urbanism arguing that the problem of ecological urbanism is essentially epistemological and ethical. Accordingly, the article introduces t…
Políticas queer y capitalismo
The following paper analyzes how queer politics have been materialized in Chile after the dictatorship through the reflection upon the relationship between queer politics and capitalism. I use the concept of capitalism as defined by Deleuze and Guattari: capitalism as semiotization, revealing how formations of power influence the construction of bodies, gender and desire. Then I review queer theory in Foucault, Butler and Preciado, then I establi…
