Abstract

CARRASCO, Morita  and  RAMIREZ, Silvina. «We are a people. We need a territory because that is where indigenous life takes place. Without a territory, there is no identity as a people». Buen vivir in Argentina. Rev. pueblos front. digit. [online]. 2015, vol.10, n.19, pp.28-51. ISSN 1870-4115.  https://doi.org/10.22201/cimsur.18704115e.2015.19.44.

This article views the emergence of the notion of good living (buen vivir), associated to development models in Latin American countries. It analyzes the possible legal consequences derived from the inclusion of the notion of respect for nature within the constitutions of Bolivia and Ecuador. From an interdisciplinary perspective that ultimately articulates positions drawn from law and anthropology, the article proposes an analysis of some statements and documents the indigenous peoples from Argentina have made in order to understand the meaning they place on the notion of good living, without naming it as such.

Keywords : Argentina; indigenous peoples; good living/buen vivir.
