“…Not only are these artists capable of drawing connections with the silent – and silenced – history of Mapuche migration to the Chilean capital but, in negotiating visibility and invisibility, marginality, displacement and endurance, they also challenge these dichotomies. The spatial and temporal disjunctions reproduced by the images and iconography of indigeneity displayed in Santiago's urban space are counteracted by these representations that make claims for ways of inhabiting ‘border‐spaces’ (Luco, 2014; Warren, 2019).…”

In Latin American cities, indigenous peoples' presence is often overlooked: symbols and iconographies either exclude them as a minority or 'memorialise' them as part of a distant past. Through ethnographic observation, walking and visual narrative analysis, and adapting Charles Hale's constructions of indigeneity, this article examines the different representations of indigeneity in urban public space in Santiago de Chile. It interrogates its forms and multiple meanings and the ways in which these are challenged and appropriated by current indigenous artistic production and activism, highlighting the struggle to emphasise contemporary, hybrid lived experiences rather than essentialised, neo-colonial memorialisation. The article addresses urban imaginaries of indigeneity as an arena for the struggle between different representations, which are highly relevant to the new Chilean Constitution and demands for pluri-nationalism, and form part of an ongoing (de)construction of entrenched power relations.

“…Within this emerging field of studies, few have focused on new cultural forms, or on artistic productions in both Chile and Argentina (Briones 2007; Collins 2014; Kropff 2004; Merino et al . 2020; Warren 2019). These analyses suggest that young urban generations especially have been engaging in intellectual and artistic production in which indigeneity is critically addressed and reworked, questioning ethnic and multicultural representations while still claiming rights to self‐determination and territorial control.…”

“…Hence the concept can be thought of as a site of enunciation and a practice of place‐making through which the self is (re)constructed. Far from representing a negation of the possibility of being within urban contexts, Mapurbe constitutes a complex spatiality where different places and selves can – and need to – be constructed: the entanglement of the mapu and the urbe , the active generation of a sort of ‘borderspace’ (Luco 2014; see also Warren 2019).…”

“…Addressing and expanding this emerging literature, this work focuses on what has been defined as a ‘post‐traditional environment’ (Peluso & Alexiades 2005) to engage with the formulation of new possibilities for Mapuche identity. As noted by scholars working with indigenous youth in urban contexts in both Chile and Argentina, current identitarian elaborations respond to desires of dissolving borders (Warren 2019: 127‐9), thus escaping the ‘iconography of indigeneity’ (Chernela 2015: 221). Here, I am interested in the ways in which urban spatialities are confronted, crafted, and incorporated through an idiom of indigeneity capable of talking to forms of belonging to the world that encompass unexpected routes of meanings (Campbell 2015; Delugan 2010).…”

Towards a tuwün wariache? Place‐making and creative acts of traversing in the Mapuche city

This article addresses experiences of belonging and place‐making among indigenous Mapuche youths in Santiago, Chile. Moving from a collaborative ethnography, it elaborates on the emplacement of the tuwün (place of origin) – usually linked to ancestral territories – within the city, and the meanings this shift entails. Furthering knowledge on indigenous spatiality by addressing migration, the analysis focuses on the ambivalent ways in which memory, affect, and power relations are embedded in urban materialities, and are negotiated through ‘acts of traversing’. The significant relationship between persons and places is conceived as mediated by movement, expanding on the creative possibilities of routing. Moreover, drawing on practice‐based methods, the article argues for a shared engagement with research participants in order to gain a deeper understanding of the ways in which place‐ and self‐making in contexts of migration encompass both rupture and creative reappropriation, contributing to current debates on displacement and the sense of place.

“…Similar insights underpin literature on contemporary case studies proving the point about this link between map-making and state-making, and how much the former has been oriented by the 'spatial configuration of modern politics: territory and property rights'(Wainwright & Bryan, 2009, p. 153), even when the mapping is attempted by non-state actors, as in the case of indigeneous communities advancing legal claims to land through alternative maps or contesting central agencies' maps and spatialities(Preci, 2020;Sletto, 2009;Warren, 2019).…”

Recent geohistorical research on boundary‐making. Challenging conventional narratives on borders and modern state‐building

The paper aims at providing an overview of recent scholarship from the last 3 decades on boundary-making, borders, and the territorial shaping of modern states between the eighteenth and the twentieth centuries. Scholarship in various languages (namely English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Italian) and from various fields of inquiry will be reviewed in order to highlight their shared themes and common concerns from a comparatist, transdisciplinary, and international perspective. We contend that the field has seen an improvement in knowledge about boundary-making, methodological changes, and a widening of primary sources and research materials. As a result, conventional narratives on state-building, as well as the accompanying understanding of boundary lines as the mere result of institutional imposition by central state agencies, have been nuanced and enriched. We claim that expanding on these remarkable outcomes of recent scholarship on boundary-making would help to further bridge the gap between traditional/geohistorical and postmodern/contemporary approaches to border studies.
