Sumario:This paper analyzes and reflects on the process of preparation and presentation in the territory of four volumes entitled “Papeles y memorias. Documents, state records and memories in the Mapuche communities of the Department of Aluminé”. They were made during 2022-2023 and presented in Aluminé, province of Neuquén (Argentina), during November 2023. We are interested, in this work, in (a) observing the relationship between the written state archives and the remoteness/proximity with the Mapuche communities of the region, (b) reflecting on the work of the researchers, the role of the state and the communities of the area and (c) analyzing the affectivities that emerge in the subjects that are questioned as a people, as a community and/or as a family from their memories in relation to the archives. Finally, we propose a reflection on the notion of frontiers and the archives that these frontiers have produced.
