Asymmetries and symmetries in the political participation of the indigenous peoples. Sociopolitical experiences in and from the chilean and wallmapu constituent context.

Abstract

This article is a reflexive-analytical effort about some milestones of the constituent process in Chile and in Wallmapu (Mapuche territory). This effort ethnographically analyzed own and non-self experiences situated in the socio-political process of election of the seats reserved for indigenous peoples. The process was examined from the own and not own experience of an alternative parity candidate of the Mapuche people and from the theoretical discussions produced by authors such as: Salas, Briones, De Sousa Santos, Maesschalck, Salazar, among others. Finally, it is understood that the intercultural issue is an open circle permeated by asymmetrical and symmetrical struggles.
