Resumen
IN CHILE, THE MAPUCHE PEOPLE HAVE DEVELOPED VARIOUS TOURIST ACTIVITIES WITHIN A CHALLENGING TERRITORIAL CONTEXT CHARACTERISED BY THE PRESENCE OF EXTRACTIVE INDUSTRIES, GOVERNMENT DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS AND SITES OF HISTORICAL MOBILISATIONS TO DEFEND POLITICAL AND TERRITORIAL DEMANDS. WE HAVE STUDIED THREE MAPUCHE TOURIST EXPERIENCES, LOCATED IN THE CENTRE-SOUTH OF CHILE, SEEKING TO ANSWER HOW THESE COMMUNITIES ORGANIZE, RE-INTERPRET THEMSELVES AND MANAGE TOURIST ACTIVITIES. IN PARTICULAR, WE HAVE FOCUSSED ON HOW TOURISM PARTICIPATES IN THE CREATION AND CARING FOR COMMON BIO-CULTURAL RESOURCES, AND HOW THESE RESOURCES ARE INTERCULTURALLY ARTICULATED WITHIN THE KIMÜN, KNOWLEDGE, AND COMMUNITY WISDOM OF THE MAPUCHE WORLD. IN THIS WAY, PROCESSES OF SYMBOLIC REAPPROPRIATION ARE TRIGGERED AND RE-INTERPRETED IN THE SOCIO-MATERIAL PRODUCTION OF THE TERRITORY, FAVOURING DEVELOPMENT PROCESSES APPROPRIATE TO THE PLACE, IN OTHER WORDS, KUME MOGEN.
