State conceptions of indigenous tourism in Chile
本文分析智利阿劳卡尼亚大区(马普切人历史领地)中,区域和国家层面对土著旅游角色的不同甚至矛盾的国家观念,通过民族志方法考察国家话语和关键公职人员的立场,并联系马普切人的领土主张政治背景,解释身份建构与国家推动的“真实性”概念之间的关系。
This article analyzes the diverse—and often divergent—state conceptions of the role of indigenous tourism at the regional and state levels in the Araucanía Region of Chile, the historical territory of the Mapuche indigenous people. The article presents the context in which indigenous tourism developed, using an ethnographic approach to examine state discourses and analyzing the different positions of key public employees with respect to the development of Mapuche tourism. It seeks to identify the views and to link them to the political context of Mapuche territorial claims in some sectors of the Araucanía Region. The discussion helps to explain the relationship between identity construction processes and the concept of authenticity promoted by the state itself.
