DESCRIPTION:Centre for Latin American and Caribbean Studies Research Semi
 nar\n\nDate : Wednesday 3 April 2019\n\nManchas Y Parches: (Un)Making Th
 e Indigenous City Through Performance And Critical Mapping In Santiago\,
  Chile\n\nOlivia Casagrande (Marie Curie Fellow\, Social Anthropology\, 
 Manchester)\n\nWithin many cities in Latin America\, indigenous groups a
 re compelled to find new ways of relating to urban space\, negotiating c
 ollective belonging and identity as well as personal life-projects. Emer
 gent indigenous urban practices trigger political engagements\, knowledg
 e production\, and artistic experimentation. In Santiago (Chile) indigen
 ous people are often caught between forms of intercultural appropriation
  and invisibilisation. In this context\, young urban Mapuche engage in c
 ritical thinking and artistic production relating with both the urbe and
  the mapu (tierra)\, as the concept of ‘Mapurbe’ - a term recently coine
 d by the poet David Aniñir - emphasizes. Being the second or third gener
 ation after migration from rural communities\, these youngsters propose 
 changing processes of hybridization\, conveying multiple belongings. \n\
 nMoving from a collaborative and practiced-based research with young art
 ists and intellectuals\, the paper addresses the Mapuche diaspora and it
 s engagement with the space of the city. At the intersection of Santiago
 ’s materialities and the immaterial practices\, interpretations and live
 d experiences of the project’s participants\, indigenous life within the
  city is understood as dynamic and characterised by motion. Engaging wit
 h memories of displacement and re-imaginations of Santiago Waria (city) 
 collectively constructed within two urban interventions realised in 2018
 \, the Mapuche experience of the city\, far from being situated or enclo
 sed into specific sectors\, is addressed as characterised by movement th
 rough places. Focusing on these multiple acts of traversing - both withi
 n the city and in relation to migration – allows to re-think the Mapuche
  concept of tuwün (place of origin)\, usually linked to rural ‘ancestral
 ’ territories\, challenging traditional and essentialist constructions o
 f indigeneity and addressing distinct and complex forms of emplacement.
