Det röstlösa subjektet: En litteraturstudie av framställningar om mapuchefolket
(2024) RHBM58 20241Centre for Theology and Religious Studies
- Abstract
- The following literature review is an analysis of various written representations of the Mapuche people in a late modern Chilean context, with the aim of identifying and contributing to a more multifaceted understanding. The analysis is carried out with the help of three questions that concern representations about the Mapuche people, these by both Chilean and Mapuche scholars from different universities in Chile. The chosen representations highlight, among other things, the historical conflict of the Mapuche people against the Spanish colonizers and later against the Chilean state, as well as a Mapuche identity that is related to a religious and linguistic tradition. In the outline of the essay, it can be seen that the material is spread... (More)

The chosen representations highlight, among other things, the historical conflict of the Mapuche people against the Spanish colonizers and later against the Chilean state, as well as a Mapuche identity that is related to a religious and linguistic tradition. In the outline of the essay, it can be seen that the material is spread out and categorized into different themes, with the aim of giving the analysis varying starting points. Here, the themes Historiography, Minority Culture and Identity Construction are highlighted, the focus of which is to identify common denominators in the presentations, with the aim of providing answers to the questions. For this reason, discourses are identified in the representation of the Mapuche people, in the form of hidden assumptions, which are in turn analyzed using a post-structuralist framework of understanding. The purpose of identifying discourses is in turn to deconstruct them, by, among other things, finding binary pairs of opposites, which expands the understanding of the representations studied by contributing alternative interpretations of them. Such a process leads to the identification and analysis of a voiceless subject, which in the context of a postcolonial framework of understanding opens up to the understanding of a subject, whose existence is based on a subalternity and an alterity.
