I28-R145-13129_oai2025-11-17 Bechis, Martha 1994-08-01 The purpose of this paper is to find out the senseof atypical Mapuche marriages -a case of patrilateral marriage and several polyandries- during the construction of two moieties of Chilean Indians located in Buenos Aires' frontier in the second third of Nineteenth-Century. Alternative hypothesis were managed in order to find the one that could fit to reconstruct an appropriete marriage system that expresses the history of a moiety. That was an ethnographic job held from a wide ethnohistorical approach. Marriages were manipulated in order to build an elite within a non-state society. The conclusion is that those atypical marriages had a peculiar political meaning that helped to consolidate dominant familiar groups in both moieties. Se intenta encontrar el sentido de unos matrimonios mapuches atípicos - un caso de matrimonio patrilateral y varias poliandrías- que se dieron durante la gestación o construcción de dos parcialidades de indios chilenos en la frontera de Buenos Aires durante el segundo tercio del siglo XIX. En uno de los casos hicimos una prueba de hipótesis alternativas -sobre todo con fines didácticos- hasta encontrara la que más satisfactoriamente reconstruye un sistema de matrimonios apropiados a la historia de la parcialidad. Sería un trabajo de reconstrucción etnográfica a partir de algunos datos concretos y un amplio marco etnohistórico. Destacamos la importancia de la manipulación de las formas matrimoniales en la construcción de un grupo de poder en sociedades sin estado. Concluimos que cada una de esas formas matrimoniales atípicas tuvo un sentido político peculiar ya que ambas estuvieron al servicio de la consolidación de los núcleos familiares dominantes en cada una de las parcialidades. Este artigo busca compreender o significado de alguns casamentos mapuches atípicos -um caso de casamento patrilateral e várias instâncias de poliandria- ocorridos durante o desenvolvimento ou a construção de dois grupos de indígenas chilenos na fronteira com Buenos Aires, durante o segundo terço do século XIX. Em um caso, testamos hipóteses alternativas -principalmente para fins educacionais- até encontrarmos aquela que reconstruía de forma mais satisfatória um sistema de casamento apropriado à história do grupo. Este trabalho envolveria uma reconstrução etnográfica baseada em dados específicos e em um amplo arcabouço etno-histórico. Enfatizamos a importância da manipulação das formas matrimoniais na construção de um grupo de poder em sociedades sem Estado. Concluímos que cada uma dessas formas matrimoniais atípicas tinha um significado político único, visto que ambas serviam para consolidar os núcleos familiares dominantes em cada um dos grupos. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/MA/article/view/13129 spa Sección Etnohistoria, Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas.
