Pueblos originarios y políticas de reconocimiento en Argentina

Abstract

The legal and political regulations, even included in the Constitution, which guarantee the recognition of Argentine indigenous peoples carry the weight of the system of representations historically built around the different ways of national identity representations. This situation is evidenced in the historical occupation of rural space as well as the current occupation with the constant expansión of the agricultural área devoted to grain production for the international market, specially soy. This work is aimed at examining the current situation of Argentine indigenous peoples through a theoretical and statistical analysis, and a characterization of the conflict of representations and interests tending to get worse every day.
