NAVARRETE-SAAVEDRA, Rodrigo Agustín. Social policies and the government of the "indigenous population". Strategies and regulations in Chilean multiculturalism. Prospectiva [online]. 2021, n.31, pp.345-368.  Epub Jan 01, 2021. ISSN 0122-1213.  https://doi.org/10.25100/prts.v0i31.8553.

This work characterizes strategies and regulations that the multiculturalist social policy of the Chilean post-dictatorship promotes for the “indigenous” recipients in its programs.

From the analysis of a corpus of social policy documents emanating from state, para-state and sub-state sources of ethnogovernmentality, 4 sets of strategies and regulations are inferred, defined as: marking, domestication, guardianship and enhancement, each one composed in turn by more specific subtypes.

The way in which these technologies reactivate colonial relations and the need to problematize this regime and the role assigned to the agents of social intervention are discussed.

Keywords : Social policies; Multiculturalism; Indigenous populations; Coloniality.
