- ItemCan natives be settlers? Emptiness, settlement and indigeneity on the settler colonial frontier in Chile(2021) Di Giminiani, Piergiorgio; Fonck, Martin; Perasso, PaoloUnder settler colonialism, dispossession is enabled by discursive strategies aimed at curtailing indigenous entitlement to land. One such strategy is the mutual determination of the native-settler categories whereby the native status is bound to a condition of ahistorical emplacement to specific tracts of land, while settlers can claim native status towards the nation state as a whole. The settler-native dichotomy fails to account for the possibility that settlement could be appropriated by indigenous collectivities as a process constitutive of land attachment and a sense of belonging. This analysis of memories and practices of indigenous settlement in the Mapuche frontier region in Chile indicates that, unlike dominant narratives of emptiness and environmental transformation reproduced under settler colonialism, indigenous settlement can unfold as an unstable ontological achievement aimed at both transforming and maintaining the land's topological diversity and ability to partake in human social life. Indigenous settlement can work as a critical intervention against the reductionist determination of the category of native through which indigenous land entitlement is delegitimized under settler colonialism.

- ItemHow to Manage a Forest: Environmental Governance in Neoliberal Chile(2016) Di Giminiani, PiergiorgioKnowledge transfer is a central feature of environmental governance worldwide. Over the last three decades, state action targeting small land holders has been increasingly shaped around managerial ideals of natural resource use and conservation. By drawing on ethnographic research among farmers and forest officers in Chile, this article highlights the intersections between knowledge and monitoring in forest governance. In a departure from rigid narratives of power/knowedge in environmental governance, I show that forest management programs do not lead to the formation of uniform environmental subjects among farmers as functions of state discourses on natural resource use. Yet, forest management is far from being a neutral instance of knowledge transfer. By inserting farmers' and officers' actions within complex auditing systems, environmental programs serve to promote new strategies of monitoring through which ecological knowledge among both groups is marginalized in favor of legal regulatory frameworks and understandings of forest livelihood. Environmental auditing targeting small landholders constitutes a governmental solution to the restructuring of state intervention under neoliberalism, which aims at favoring the inclusion of smallholders in the global market in line with the principles of individual accountability and self-realization.
- ItemInnovation as translation in Indigenous entrepreneurship: lessons from Mapuche entrepreneurs in Chile(2022) Soto Hernández, Daniela Paz; González Gálvez, Marcelo Ignacio; Di Giminiani, PiergiorgioDiscourses of innovation are prone to homogenisation, and as such, their effects in the development of Indigenous enterprises are highly ambivalent. The elusiveness of innovation can also work as a flexible set of ideas through which Indigenous entrepreneurs reconfigure existing commercial practices. Focussing on two Mapuche enterprises, this article explores how innovation in the context of Indigenous entrepreneurship is performed as a process of cultural translation. We advance a definition of innovation focused on the transformation of Indigenous daily practices into valuable products within a market dominated by non-Indigenous clients and mediators.

- ItemStratherian meditations: relations, oscillations and blind spots considering two Amerindian examples(2024) Galvezi, Marcelo Gonzalez; Di Giminiani, PiergiorgioIn this article we illustrate the implications of the principle raised by anthropologist Marilyn Strathern in her lecture Always relating (2024), by contextualizing them in two Amerindian examples. In doing so, we highlight the importance of pursuing an introspective reflection challenging the very terms through which anthropology operates. Also, we observe how Strathern's thoughts on anthropological thinking might shed light on some unnoticed aspects of ethnographic description on Amerindian philosophies, as for the relation between object and subject.

- ItemThe Limits of Care Vitality, Enchantment, and Emergent Environmental Ethics among the Mapuche People(2022) Di Giminiani, PiergiorgioDrawing on the experiences of caring in agriculture and forestry among Mapuche landholders of Chile, this article advances a definition of care as an act of relating intervening mutual articulations of vitality. Caring for nonhumans entails a reflexive awareness of the ontological and ethical limits of human care, limits made visible by the nonhumans' potentials to respond to our actions and affect us. Reflections on the limits of care foster an attentiveness to the conditions responsible for nonhumans' ability of enchantment, a term that in Bennett's proposal concerns an awareness on the singularness and surprising character of life. First, this article characterizes care as a human intentional action targeting dependent nonhumans, such as crops. Second, it illustrates the recalcitrance of some nonhumans to human care, as in the case of forests in Indigenous southern Chile. Third, it shows how care emerges from ethical aspirations and concerns, such as those at the core of Mapuche engagements with cultural reclamation and conservation.
