Abstract

This paper deals with the political dimensions of interethnic relationships in Wallmapu, focusing violent events and their consequences in the form of State terrorism against the Mapuche people, before and after the social outbreak that took place in 2019. It studies the reach of the political strategies of the Mapuche movement in the present moment when the drafting of a new Constitution is under way, and it asks itself about the possible scenarios that may open up (or close down) in a free, determinist horizon that can be seen as the overcoming of the contradiction by which an ethno-class advocates for the juridical building of a nation-state against a set of peoples that promote a Chilean “awakening”, or “spring”, fostering a plurinational constituent assembly.
