| description | According to the chronicles of history, October 12th, 1492 is the day when Christopher Columbus arrived to the Caribbean. How then did this date become a day for reflection, protest and demand through an annual march that in 2016 completed 25 years without interruption in two of the largest cities in South America, Buenos Aires and Santiago? In both cities, which has historically been imagined as “white”, indigenous communities (both domestic and foreign) are the organizers of the march, which is driven by the festive contributions of indigenous musicians and dancers. In a place so far from the Caribbean, the date of the 500th anniversary of Columbus’ arrival has allowed for the crystallization of indigenous demands and generated a common sense of belonging withthe rest of the region. In this paper, we describe the context, genesis and history of the march and provide an analysis of the political uses of memory through a chronotropic reading (where a significant event from the past acquires relevance in the present and becomes significant in the future) in order to propose several strands of interpretation for the march’s emergence and its repercussions. |

El 12 de octubre de 1492 es el día en el que según las crónicas Cristóbal Colón llegó al Caribe. Entonces, ¿Cómo llegó éste a constituirse en jornada de reflexión, protesta yreivindicación a través de una marcha anual que en 2016 cumplió 25 años de realización ininterrumpida en dos grandes urbes, Buenos Aires y Santiago, históricamenteimaginadas como “blancas”? En ambas ciudades, las únicas donde se realiza esta marcha, son amerindios (tanto extranjeros como nacionales) quienes protagonizan la misma, siendo ésta conducida en clave festiva a través de la música y la danza. En este territorio alejado del Caribe, la fecha mágica de los quinientos años ha permitido cristalizar demandas amerindias históricas, generando, a través del símbolo de una efeméride, un sentido de pertenencia común con el resto de la región. En este trabajo, describiendo su contexto, génesis e historia, y haciendo un análisis desde los usos políticos de la memoria a través de una lectura cronotrópica (donde un evento significativo del pasado adquiere relevancia en el presente para volverse significativo en el futuro), intentamos dar pistas y proponer algunas líneas sugerentes para comprender este hecho y sus repercusiones. 2017-05-10 2022-03-22T15:20:57Z 2022-03-22T15:20:57Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://www.sisomosamericanos.cl/index.php/sisomosamericanos/article/view/724 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/80932 spa https://www.sisomosamericanos.cl/index.php/sisomosamericanos/article/view/724/560 Derechos de autor 2017 Si Somos Americanos.
