| description | The conception of a lake as a body of water surrounded by land is part of a western native imaginary mounted on analytical schemes that become functional to a territorial occupation. The Andean Mapuche communities give the possibility of understanding in another way the linkages between the water and the other components of the landscape, as revealed through the fieldwork. A relational
ontology that loses its strength in urban and labor contexts makes possible that relationship. Of the relational character of this ontology, they give account, on the one hand, to the ritual practices (guillatun) and, on the other, the marriage between history and territory such as topo and hydronymy suggest it. The practice of living the lake contradicts the inert western vision, allowing to explore the multiple agencies that determine the possibilities of present and future existence. The traces and practices of indigenous communities are suggestive of alternative ways of constituting life in contexts impoverished by the predatory action of capital. |

El lago Maihue y los otros modos de vivir los paisajes lacustres en el sur de Chile Guerra, Debbie Riquelme Maulén, Wladimir Skewes, Juan Carlos The conception of a lake as a body of water surrounded by land is part of a western native imaginary mounted on analytical schemes that become functional to a territorial occupation. The Andean Mapuche communities give the possibility of understanding in another way the linkages between the water and the other components of the landscape, as revealed through the fieldwork. A relational ontology that loses its strength in urban and labor contexts makes possible that relationship. Of the relational character of this ontology, they give account, on the one hand, to the ritual practices (guillatun) and, on the other, the marriage between history and territory such as topo and hydronymy suggest it. The practice of living the lake contradicts the inert western vision, allowing to explore the multiple agencies that determine the possibilities of present and future existence. The traces and practices of indigenous communities are suggestive of alternative ways of constituting life in contexts impoverished by the predatory action of capital. La concepción de un lago como un cuerpo de agua rodeado de tierra es parte de un imaginario nativo occidental montado sobre esquemas analíticos que se tornan funcionales a la ocupación territorial. Las comunidades mapuche cordilleranas dan la posibilidad de entender de otro modo la urdiembre que vincula las aguas con los demás componentes del paisaje, como se revela a través del trabajo de campo. Tal urdiembre se sustenta en una ontología relacional que pierde su fuerza en contextos urbanos y laborales. Del carácter relacional de esa ontología dan cuenta, por una parte, las prácticas rituales (guillatun) y, por la otra, el maridaje entre historia y territorio tal como la topo y la hidronimia lo sugieren. Se concluye que a la visión occidental inerte del lago se contrapone a aquella en que se le vive como una de las agencias que determinan las posibilidades de existencia presente y futura. Las huellas y prácticas de las comunidades indígenas resultan sugerentes de modos alternos de constituir la vida en contextos empobrecidos por la acción depredadora del capital. 2019-12-17 2022-03-22T14:54:17Z 2022-03-22T14:54:17Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://www.revistas.usach.cl/ojs/index.php/ideas/article/view/4273 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/79551 spa https://www.revistas.usach.cl/ojs/index.php/ideas/article/view/4273/26003356 application/pdf Instituto de Estudios Avanzados - Universidad de Santiago de Chile Estudios Avanzados; No 31 (2019); 21-41 Estudios Avanzados; Núm. 31 (2019); 21-41 0718-5014 |
