La politización india-indígena. Interrogantes sobre el indigenismo estatal

Abstract

Memorias e itinerarios de la política es un número monográfico de Anatéllei dedicado a analizar diversos aspecto políticos y culturales tras 30 años de democracia en Argentina. En el artículo ´La politización india-indígena. Interrogantes sobre el indigenismo estatal´ se plantean algunos interrogantes pertinentes para una filosofía política historizada a partir del plural proceso de politización indígena en América Latina, en particular en Argentina. Se realiza una justificación del uso del término indio, para luego interrogar sobre las prácticas de algunos sectores politizados indígenas y del Estado mono-nacional orientado por la hipótesis de la vigencia de un indigenismo estatal.

This paper aims to analyze the indigenous mobilization in Jujuy within the framework of the indigenous policies of the provincial state at the beginning of the year 2017. On the one hand we analyzed the Law of "Administrative servitudes of busway and special regime of constitution and administrative servitudes for the development of projects of generation of electrical energy from renewable sources on community-owned properties" as Indigenist policy of the Jujuy state. And on the other we retake the criticism of the indigenous leader and anthropologist Omawakeño Gustavo Gabriel Ontiveros, member of the Assembly of Communities Free from Jujuy.

In this way, we recovered the theoretical categories of Latin American indigenism (Colombes, 1975; Bonfil Battle, 1981; Favre, 1998 and Díaz Polanco, 2009) and internal colonialism (Rivera Cusicanqui, 2010). We use as main source an exhibition carried out by Ontiveros in the framework of the "Aboriginal Week 2017: strengthening in Córdoba the indigenous resistance, black and popular", organized by the Institute of Aborigine Cultures (ICA). Where it exposes the conflict between the communities and the provincial government, it recounts the indigenous mobilization carried out against the law 5915 and refers to the main claims of the indigenous peoples in Jujuy.
