| description | Towards the end of the XVIII century and the beginning of the XIX century, in the context of a period of expansion on the part of European nations and the nascent North American republic, the commercial hunting of fur seals began to develop, and in this sense, the southern end of America became one of the main areas of their incursions.
This work seeks to contribute to know more background regarding the presence of this group of navigators, in relation to the sustained interaction with the austral aborigines, as well as, regarding hunting activities. The study is based on unpublished documents, specifically American sealing ship logs.
It is hypothesized that this commercial activity was much more than a transitory wandering dedicated to obtaining and collecting skins for distant markets, on the contrary, fur-seal hunters established a close relationship with the aborigines who populated these territories, in addition to generating a gradual process of familiarization with geography. |

Hacia fines del siglo XVIII e inicios del XIX, en el contexto de un periodo de expansión por parte de naciones europeas y la naciente república norteamericana, empieza a desarrollarse la caza comercial de lobos marinos, y en tal sentido, el extremo austral de América, se configuraría como uno de las principales áreas de sus incursiones. Este trabajo busca contribuir a conocer mayores antecedentes respecto de la presencia de este grupo de navegantes, en relación a la interacción sostenida con los aborígenes australes y las actividades cinegéticas propiamente tales. El estudio se basa en documentos inéditos, específicamente bitácoras (logbooks) de embarcaciones loberas estadounidenses. Se plantea la hipótesis de que esta actividad comercial fue mucho más que un transitorio deambular dedicado a la obtención y acopio de pieles para su posterior traslado a mercados lejanos, por el contrario, los cazadores de lobos establecieron una estrecha relación con los aborígenes que poblaban dichos territorios, además de generar un paulatino proceso de familiarización con la geografía. 2020-06-20 2022-03-22T15:04:14Z 2022-03-22T15:04:14Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://revistas.ucn.cl/index.php/estudios-atacamenos/article/view/1758 10.22199/issn.0718-1043-2020-0005 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/80206 spa http://revistas.ucn.cl/index.php/estudios-atacamenos/article/view/1758/3414 Derechos de autor 2020 Estudios Atacameños.
