Abstract

This study deals with the use of physical and symbolic violence as a means to impose extractive activities, specifically hydrocarbons, in mapuche territory in community Campo Maripe, Argentina. This enterprise is based on the agreements between the oils industry YPF and Chevron. To that end, it will be discussed the Argentinian energetic policies and their evolution which is based on the deregulation of the neoliberalism itself towards into the action of an entrepreneurial State. As a result, this process draws a new advance on the extractive border, regarding unconventional hydrocarbons. It has as a consequence the accumulation of the capital by dispossession (Harvey, 2004, Seoane, 2013, Teubal y Palmisano, 2014). The repression and rights infringement involved during the process surpass the extraction places and it is spread to the rest of the society, as a result of the ad-hoc normative changes established by the Private-Public alliance.
