Abstract

Given the pandemic scenario that characterized the year 2020 at a global and national level, it is especially relevant to analyze the different repertoires of Mapuche protest, in light of the strong limitations in daily and public life, with increased police control, the implementation of sanitary measures and the military deployment in the Wallmapu. This study reviewed and compared the different protest news events recorded in online media during 2020. The results showed a high concentration of disruptive protest in the province of Arauco, along with an increase in hunger strikes by Mapuche political prisoners, as in Temuco and Padre Las Casas. The article concludes with some reflections on the anti-Mapuche mobilization as a novelty, along with new repertoires and new insurrectionary organizations in a context of militarization and lack of socio-sanitary protection
