Abstract
ZAPATA SILVA, Claudia. Identity, Nation and Territory in the Writings of Mapuche Intellectuals. Rev. Mex. Sociol [online]. 2006, vol.68, n.3, pp.467-509. ISSN 2594-0651.
The aim of this article is to describe a new indigenous subject, emerged in the second half of the 20th century: the contemporary indigenous intellectual, understood as a person trained at higher education institutes who constructs discourses and representations from a discipline of knowledge (History, Sociology, Literature and Anthropology, among others). This article examines the particular case of Mapuche intellectuals in the 1990s, from an analytical perspective that considers them as both authors and actors within what is now known as the Mapuche movement.
Keywords : Indigenous intellectual; identity; nation; text.
