Urban Mapuche in a Neoliberal Era: Navigating Multiculturalism in Post-Democratic Chile
This presentation explores the evolving socio-political landscape for Indigenous communities in post-democratic Chile, with a focus on the state’s use of neoliberal multiculturalism as a tool of governance. It investigates how this strategy shapes Indigenous cultural practices and redefines what it means to be Indigenous in urban environments, all while maintaining the state’s neoliberal framework. The analysis highlights the ways in which urban Mapuche communities engage with state institutions, using approaches like ethno-bureaucracy and strategic essentialism. While these communities attempt to align their interests with neoliberal multicultural policies, these very policies create complex dynamics of inclusion and exclusion, ultimately leading to a fragmented sense of community among urban Mapuche.
All are welcome to attend this free seminar, which will be held online via Zoom at 17:00 BST (UK time). You will need to register in advance to receive the online joining link. Please click on the Book Now button at the top of the page to register.
