La ciudad y el campo como referentes de identidad en adolescentes mapuches de Temuco y Santiago
Keywords:
identity. place-identity. urban identity. Mapuche identity.Abstract
The spaces of city and countryside are described in this article as well as the role that these play in the identity construction of Mapuche youngsters from Temuco and Santiago. The study is qualitative and descriptive and the data is analyzed through discourse analysis and the spatial identity approach (Proshansky, 1978). The sample consists of semi-structured interviews and is representative of urban Mapuche youngsters from Temuco and Santiago. The results indicate that the discursive constructions of spaces, such as the ‘city’ and ‘countryside’, are framed mainly into two modes of identification (previously stated by Dixon and Durrheim, 2000): belonging and attachment. The notion of countryside evokes a particular context in which some social, cultural and linguistic aspects are revealed. In the countryside, unlike in the city, attachment is expressed as related to types of affectivity linked to Mapuche socialization practices.
