“…Rather than coercion by physical force, the nature of these power devices secured consent and subdued most resistance for the greater part of a century. This resistance took multiple forms, including political and cultural engagement, to challenge this dominance, by leaders and indigenous intellectuals (Crow, , ), in opposition to incorporation into the Chilean State or in terms of defining the nature of this incorporation (De la Maza, ; Bauer, ). Mapuche histories of resistance are to be found in Marimán et al (), Marimán () and Nahuelpan et al (), but the emphasis of this paper is on the construction of cultural hegemony by the Chilean State.…”

The region of Araucania, since its incorporation into the Republic of Chile, has been subject to significant territorial transformations. The Chilean State, supported by economic elites, the political class, and intellectuals have all contributed to the discursive positioning of, and the creation of artefacts in, this regional space. These devices for mobilising power have enabled an appropriation of naturethrough natural resource exploitationand an appropriation of land rights through property titles. The occupation of Araucania from the end of the 19th century was achieved principally through the artefacts of larger settlement consolidation, the railway network, and the building of roads. These were designed and imposed from Santiago through political and administrative channels based on an internal colonialism logic. Conflicts with indigenous Mapuche in Wallmapu (the Mapudungun name for their territory) arose as a consequence of asymmetries of power and this appropriation of space, including expulsion from their land, deforestation, increasing poverty due to restricted access to traditional resources, and epistemic violence through specific constructions of development and the subalterning of indigenous "others." This historical political ecology not only reveals the expanding frontiers of extractivism and processes of accumulation in favour of national political and economic elites, but more importantly shows how the construction of cultural landscapes became a device for exercising power and justifying appropriation in pursuit of modernity, progress, and development. These landscapes of power evolved over time as different demands were placed on this territory: first as a wheat bowl, and second as forestry plantation. A "landscapes of power" framework is presented in order to work through these constructions of landscape, building on phenomenological and dwelling perspectives in order to focus on the role of cultural hegemony and power relations.

“…There was an important level of expectation among community leaders that this would become a turning point in the history of Indigenous communities in the country. However, they were also skeptical because the Chilean state has always been reluctant to grant constitutional recognition to Indigenous peoples and consequently has determined that 169 Convention and the Consulta Indígena are non-binding (Bauer, 2018;Carter, 2010). Therefore, it is not possible to ban an investment project in Indigenous territories based on the outcome of such a consultation.…”

“…Consequently, this instrument does not make it possible for communities to ban an investment project, regardless of its impacts. Basically, the Consulta Indígena is a process through which the community and the company agree on measures of mitigation, repair, or financial compensation (Bauer, 2018;Carter, 2010).). In doing so, the company follows a paternalistic logic of reparation, which is profoundly rooted in the idea that Indigenous people must be educated to ensure the country's progress and development.…”

I would like to thank my family and friends for supporting me throughout the years, for your advice, for distracting me when I needed it, and for celebrating each of my achievements with me.In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love. In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile. In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm.I realized, through it all, that in the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there's something stronger -something better, pushing right back.

Extractivism in Latin America is complex and triggers interdisciplinary debates, particularly on water conflicts. Despite previous works, the role played by framed values remains unclear. How do agents' ontologies affect water conflict outcomes and vice versa? This text focuses on the Pampa Colorada case in Chile. It analyses agents' framings, collected through organizational documents and 24 semi‐structured in‐depth field interviews. The main finding is that ontological differences between agents exist, but struggles can lead to vocabulary and narrative appropriations.
