Articulating An Activist Imaginary: Internet as Counter Public Sphere in the Mapuche Movement, 1997/2002

Abstract: The article analyses the role of the internet in informing and shaping indigenous knowledge and offers a critical examination of the uses of internet by Mapuche indigenous activists in Chile. It describes the ways in which the internet has been appropriated as an efficient political tool to rearticulate a renewed Mapuche cultural imaginary, constructed in the realm of the virtual but grounded in the materiality of the everyday struggle for cultural survival and ethnic recognition. Through a critical reading of… Show more

“…As we see it, the new possibilities offered by participatory Web 2.0 technologies require us to rethink not only the fundamental assumptions about descriptive documentation (metadata), but also how collaboration figures into documentation and what the actual site(s) of documentation are. As technology broadens the reach of conversations around and about objects, the ongoing relationships between collecting institutions and the stakeholder communities who may be the most interested in objects and their descriptions are being called into question (Watson, 1990;Salazar, 2003;Verran & Christie, 2007). Museums and other institutions have made progress toward establishing the "consultation" model as part of their regular practice, increasingly bringing source communities into the institution as consultants whose descriptions are recorded as supplements to what exists in the catalog.…”

“…La cultura ha sido y sigue siendo un campo de disputa en sí, donde la comunicación mediatizada juega un rol clave en la construcción de un sentido común que estigmatiza los pueblos originarios, sobre todo en Latinoamérica, en la que los medios y las industrias culturales sostuvieron la (neo)colonización (Magallanes-Blanco et al, 2013) y la instalación de estereotipos criminalizantes y/o paternalistas (Reguillo, 2000;Salazar, 2003;Yanniello, 2014). Los mPo surgen de la necesidad de contar una versión de la historia y del presente de los pueblos originarios que no aparece en otros medios (Salazar, 2003), y que abarca sus luchas y culturas en la realidad cotidiana (Salazar, 2010 Así los medios devienen espacios centrales y ámbitos de configuración de una disputa material y simbólica en torno a cómo se piensa y nombra el ser indígena (Doyle, 2013). Se convierten en objetos y sujetos de reivindicación en sí mismos para los pueblos originarios, porque solo desde allí ellos pueden dar eficazmente esa disputa (Mata, 2006;Doyle, 2013).…”

“…Sin embargo, la mayoría de quienes se acercaron a participar en la radio llegaba de Pueblo Viejo, un paraje ubicado a 14 km de Iruya. Por eso, se decidió trasladar la radio a este lugar, que es donde actualmente funciona.En los objetivos de ambas radios se puede rastrear la necesidad de gestionar un espacio mediático propio, para fortalecer y visibilizar las luchas y prácticas culturales que atraviesan la cotidianidad de las comunidades originarias(Salazar, 2003). Por un lado, entonces, se detecta una postura política (Wortham, 2004) en la denuncia pública de las problemáticas que las atraviesan; problemáticas que muy a menudo quedan solapadas o manipuladas por los medios hegemónicos a través de narraciones estigmatizantes y estereotipadas(Reguillo, 2000;Salazar, 2003; Yanniello, 2014).…”
