“…Adjectives such as "intelligent," "loyal," "honest," "courageous," and "freedom loving," as well as complex images of being "noble" and "industrious" and "brave warriors," are ascribed to past Mapuches (Saiz et al, 2008). These stereotypes are associated with recognition and positive appreciation of the ancestral Mapuche culture (Denegri Coria et al, 2015;Pilleux & Merino, 2004;Quilaqueo et al, 2007;Zagefka et al, 2009) and the valuable role assigned to ancient Mapuches in the early history and current national identity of Chilean people (Tip et al, 2015). Adjectives such as "responsible," "hardworking," "patriotic," "self-sufficient," and "eager" for education and progress along with images of being "good citizens" and "Indians who wish to be Chileans" are attributed to contemporary Mapuches (Pilleux & Merino, 2004;Saiz et al, 2008).…”

Ethnopolitical conflicts, which have increased steadily throughout the world in the past 60 years, usually derive from relatively continuous tensions between states trying to consolidate and expand their power and ethnic groups (generally minorities) seeking to defend and promote their cultural identities and collective interests (Harff & Gurr, 2018). In many cases, the goals of each party are perceived as mutually incompatible, making the conflict intractable (Bar-Tal et al., 2015). Ethnopolitical conflicts are often asymmetrical; thus, their inevitable negative consequences (Bar-Tal, 2010) tend to be more accentuated for the adversary with lower status and power (Reyna & Zimmerman, 2017).It is estimated that in Latin America there are approximately 780 Indigenous ethnic groups, most of them subjected to persistent social exclusion. Despite representing 8% of the regional population, members of these groups constitute about 14% of people who live in poverty and 17% of those who live in extreme poverty. The Latin American countries with the largest Indigenous populations are Bolivia (62%), Guatemala (41%), Peru (24%), and Mexico

“…El denominado "conflicto en la Araucanía" ha sido en distintas ocasiones material de estudio de investigaciones, tanto en Chile como en el extranjero, debido al contexto de interculturalidad en que se enmarca: la relación entre el Estado, los latifundistas, los transportistas, las empresas forestales y el pueblo mapuche (Rother, 2017;Denegri, et al, 2015;Saiz et al, 2008).…”

Esta investigación tiene como finalidad revelar las diferencias en el tratamiento y cobertura informativa respecto a los casos Luchsinger-Mackay (asesinato de matrimonio de latifundistas) y Melinao (asesinato de comunero mapuche), sucesos que se enmarcan en el conflicto intercultural en la región de La Araucanía, Chile. Se realiza un Análisis de Contenido de la cobertura mediática en dos medios de comunicación de prensa escrita de circulación nacional, El Mercurio, La Tercera y un diario regional El Austral de la Araucanía. Se pretende identificar cuáles son las representaciones que estos diarios –todos vinculados a la derecha, pero pertenecientes a distintos conglomerados- le otorgan a la problemática. La naturaleza de la metodología utilizada para emprender el análisis responde a una línea mixta, mezclando métodos cualitativos con cuantitativos. Por medio de este estudio se ha logrado formular un panorama más preciso sobre las principales representaciones sociales creadas por los medios en cuestión, respecto a los actores del conflicto, a saber mapuches y latifundistas; especialmente cuando la posición de víctima se invierte entre uno y otro caso. La Tercera demostró ser el medio analizado más abierto a la pluralidad en la información, facilitando un diálogo intercultural. El Mercurio evidencia una clara tendencia a la criminalización del pueblo mapuche, reforzando prejuicios y estereotipos. Por último, El Austral de La Araucanía, presentó representaciones que criminalizaban al movimiento mapuche, estableciendo y reforzando un vínculo entre la etnia y el comportamiento delictual.
