At the same time, Mapuche people have been developing individual initiatives as well as collective strategies to strengthen their self-identification, cultural revitalization and demands for official acknowledgment of the particular “ontology” of Mapuche names as well as the ways of selecting and assigning them.The names of these children, as a touchstone, will enable us to recognize the different and occasionally contradictory definitions of Mapuche identity, promoted by various social actors in the province of Neuquén.We will see that through their practices Mapuche children and “others” –Mapuche adults, communities and organizations, Catholic and Evangelical churches, teachers and State officials– turn the act of nominating into one of the arenas in which Mapuche children’s identity is increasingly disputed. En la provincia del Neuquén abundan casos en que personal del Registro Civil o del sistema educativo ha objetado la inscripción o utilización del nombre mapuche de un niño/a. Al mismo tiempo, entre la población mapuche se vienen registrando iniciativas individuales y estrategias colectivas de autoreconocimiento, recuperación cultural y demandas de reconocimiento estatal del modo mapuche de elección y atribución de los nombres, y de su particular ontología.Como una piedra de toque, los nombres de estos niños nos permitirán conocer las dispares definiciones de lo mapuche, en ocasiones contradictorias, que promueven diversos actores y agencias en la provincia del Neuquén.Veremos cómo a través de sus prácticas los niños y los “otros” –adultos, comunidades y organizaciones mapuche, iglesias católica y evangélicas, docentes y funcionarios estatales– hacen del acto de nominar una de las arenas en las cuales crecientemente se disputa la identidad de los niños mapuche del Neuquén. Em Neuquén, província localizada no sul da Argentina, é comum que o sistema educativo e o Registro Civil neguem a inscrição ou cadastramento de nomes mapuches de crianças e jovens. Simultaneamente, a população mapuche vem desenvolvendo, por meio de iniciativas individuais e estratégias coletivas, um processo de auto-reconhecimento e revitalização cultural, demandando ao Estado o reconhecimento da ontologia particular, modos de escolha e de atribuição dos nomes em língua mapuche.Assim, a análise desta questão nos permitirá conhecer definições díspares do mapuche, por vezes contraditórias, que promovem diferentes atores e agências na província de Neuquén.Veremos como através das práticas das crianças e dos “outros” –adultos, comunidades e organizações mapuche, igrejas católica e evangélica, docentes e funcionários do Estado– o ato de colocar nomes se torna crescentemente uma das arenas de disputa da identidade das crianças mapuche na província de Neuquén. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/runa/article/view/346 10.34096/runa.v33i2.346 spa Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/runa/article/view/346/323 RUNA, archivo para las ciencias del hombre; Vol. 33 No. 2 (2012); 175-192 RUNA, archivo para las ciencias del hombre; Vol. 33 Núm. 2 (2012); 175-192 RUNA, archivo para las ciencias del hombre; v. 33 n. 2 (2012); 175-192 1851-9628 0325-1217 Childhood Mapuche Identity Names Hegemony Infância Mapuche Identidade Nomes Hegemonia The power of nominating.
