Abstract

The article presents a tour of theoretical readings along my research about representations of historic memories in the Mapuche tribe of Ignacio Coliqueo (Los Toldos, Provincia de Buenos Aires)  which allow me to rethink the way to relating history to ethnic identity and to refocus my approach through historial contexts of subjectivity production. The interest of "the discourse on history" change to "discouse's history". In other words, through the reconstruction of historiacal contexts in which the limits and identity senses were forms regarding the "indigenous" difference and its relation with the "national", we try to find the bonds between the pampean sociocultural context and the symbolic practices and material that articulate interethnic relationships and the ways those expressions and representations about identity and history among aboriginal populations appear.
