Resumen
LEONE, Miguel. Territorial recovery, weychafes and vigilance. Reflections on a moral economy of Mapuche resistance. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2022, vol.58, n.3, pp.59-86. Epub 01-Sep-2022. ISSN 0486-6525. https://doi.org/10.22380/2539472x.2212.
This article reflects on the moral economy existing in Mapuche spaces in a situation of resistance to the advance of forestry companies and Chilean state repression. It is based on several ethnographic notes taken in a visit to a Mapuche community particularly active in territorial recovery processes. Three axes structure the analysis: the logic of sabotage, the ethics of the weychafe (warrior), and the rationality of care and control. The text proposes to understand the practice of sabotage as a collective strategy of territorial recovery; identifies some of the main characteristics that the figure of the weychafe acquires today; and suggests that the constant police surveillance to which Mapuche activists in the Ngulumapu are subjected generates a “state of alert” that crosses the social space under study.
