Country, for the case of Chile, but it hurts the Mapuche nation, archenemy of all invasive pasture land and pundits from both sides of the mountain much later transformed into border barrier in both fought and still does to survive, the same people, the same people. different problems. Visions. Interests. Different media exposure. Sensitivity minimized. Multiethnic societies asymmetrical spaces of power. Legacy problem. Unsolved problem. The reality of Latin America brown color skin and heart but still hard and painful. I have received from gentlemen of the Chilean Association of Anthropologists in Chile, then the information share with you. It is not a new issue. It is not an easy topic of emotional speech. Neither of demagoguery. Even less comfortable positions to allow digest with a clear conscience that write ten renglores denounce. The world is a bit more complex. I think yes, that is good and important share views and even better if the case was received, for enrichment and personal gain. That brings me to consider it now, something much explains the urgency of human lives at risk and a lot in the kind of double talk to global social tragedies. A thrilling, summon and stir a lot. Others are subtle and / or hidden in places where not painful or bothersome. Social anthropology, can not sit on the balcony of humanity to look like before her parade events. Neither relativism or universalism. The Other, near or distant, exotic or native, none of this change to the anthropological sensitive. They are all our fellow human beings. Little word that has acquired enormous but the softness of the shades, when you really do not. With the same respect as other issues salute the Chilean brothers, is also time to wish the Mapuche ... Cheers! The well known that the underlying problems, as for every society, is purely to resolve the Chilean people democratically in its social, and cultural and ethnic case.

again calls on the authorities to meet the demands of Mapuche
and stop the current
strategy of criminalization of a conflict whose complexity and history, can not be confined to a narrow and stop the current
judicial framework, much less to the implementation of the Law Mapuche communities reclaim their political and territorial rights Chol Chol, and the suffering of their families and communities.
We are concerned, on the other hand, silence communication within the country, which has resulted in an information blockade about this new occupation of Mapuche territory and
ignorance on the part of the country of
people demands originating, and, privately, the situation of the Mapuche political prisoners ignorance on the part of the country of

invisibility of the hundreds of people today

and calculations
seeking to exacerbate political image of the Mapuche as criminals, terrorists or
violent interests of that part of the national press is
echo.
We therefore demand that the government without delay and without excuses:
• Install a dialogue to meet the demands of the strikers

this global society loses the opportunity of its inhabitants

envision new ways of leadership and political participation are essential
for overcoming poverty, as happens among all indigenous peoples of Latin America, and such
as recognized United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
and ILO Convention 169, the two instruments signed by the State
Chileno.
Various international and national bodies such as UN Rapporteur
Rights and Fundamental Freedoms of Indigenous Peoples
, the Human Rights Council and
United Nations treaty bodies and the newly created National Institute of Human Rights
Chile, have raised the need for the Chilean
State recognizes and respects the legitimate rights of indigenous peoples in Chile
and the need not to criminalize social protest
Mapuche, as demanded the Special Rapporteur Rodolfo Stavenhagen
United Nations after his visit in 2003.
For this reason, a historical situation as complex as
lived in these regions, their economic, political and cultural
may not attempt to be resolved through the use of
legal instruments such as the antiterrorism law, which are inadequate for Chilean society nor
demonstrations and demands of indigenous peoples
.
believe it is time to move towards a democratic state
deeply, as we celebrate 200 years of republican life,
is recognized as a multicultural country. And in this sense
recognize rights of indigenous peoples to their ancestral lands and territories
, in particular its demands for political participation
consultation and cultural autonomy, economic and other democratic countries have taken
. In this sense, the legal structure
national guidelines need to advance one's own "
politics of recognition" that seeks to strengthen
universal rights of individuals and different communities.
reaffirm that indigenous peoples of Chile and the Mapuche in particular
, be recognized in their aspiration to live in a multiethnic
country, free of discrimination and exclusion, where they recognize their specific rights
, history and ancestral knowledge
and their ways of life and political projects, economic and social
.
As academics argue that this is
Chile Bicentennial essential that society and the Chilean State
be open to recognizing the rights of indigenous peoples
because only this way we can build a democratic
Chilean society effectively, based on diversity and where the dispute is a
value and not a negative stigma often
based on discrimination.
We urge the authorities, the powers of
State, indigenous peoples and all institutions and civil organizations
to exhaust all possible alternatives that
take this extreme situation to fruition. It's time to talk
is in between the respect for life,
dignity of persons and the rights enshrined in national legislation and international
.

Alberto Hurtado University was established on October 20 1997 by the Society of Jesus. In a context marked by great cultural changes, the idea was to offer the country an education project based in the Jesuit tradition of 450 years and 200 higher education institutions in the world.
Universidad Alberto Hurtado - Almirante Barroso 10 - Santiago - Chile
"The University must be the brain of a country, the center where research is planned, as is discussed has to do the common good of the nation and humanity. And the university must come to acquire the mystique of that in their own field profession is not only a technician, but the intellectual labor of a better world. "

treatment of the press in the Chilean-Mapuche conflict: Bias or disinformation?
Source: The Citizen http://www.elciudadano.cl
Chile Health, education, employment, transportation, security and housing are, which in his view, matter to people. Over the years, these issues are already part of the agendas of the current rulers, who seek to focus its guidelines to conquer the people, satisfying these needs.
is how the current media discourse mark people according to the parameters that television, newspapers, radio and the media imposed. large extent the construction of these discourses is based on the treatment given the means to these issues, varying in intent, focus on journalistic and representativeness to the target audience targeting. One of these, connected by the press to security is the so-called Mapuche problem "or" Mapuche conflict. " The struggle of indigenous people and their demands has been a traditional media coverage too deep into the conflict with the authorities and / or the prevailing institutional framework, the actions committed by the Coordinadora Arauco Malleco (CAM), fighting and attacks on forestry companies, the implementation of the antiterrorism law and a series of edges subject to the conflict itself.
USE OF LANGUAGE AND SOURCES CONSULTED
As mentioned Cabalin Claudia Lagos and Christian in his article "Intercultural communication and the 'conflict' Mapuche Chile "Dialogues published in the Journal of Communication, Communication and Image Institute, University of Chile (ICEi), the media have become places of production and reproduction of the hegemonic discourse of those who already have power or represent other legitimate power in Chilean society to address topics related to the Mapuche people, reducing it to "the conflict." It is basically in conflict based media editorial guidelines to refer to this issue. In the case of El Mercurio and La Tercera, to seek information and news about the Mapuche word on their website, they jump at first view issues related to arson attacks, detention of villagers, police intervention, law enforcement terrorism and above all, the word conflict. What, in other words, results in the spread of chaos, terror and lack of control felt by the elites of these areas against the Mapuche cause. sources consulted within their testimonies proliferate owners of forest companies, prosecutors, police, owners of farms and land attack, government officials and parliamentarians. Are minimal conflicting versions of the Mapuche, as, apparently, are not considered valid sources of information-or legitimate-of events. Very few
los medios que abordan las otras temáticas del conflicto, como el respeto a su cultura, el atropello de sus derechos, el abuso de la fuerza policial, la criminalización de sus organizaciones; y, por sobre todo, el cerco informativo que la propia prensa ha establecido en la zona, conduciendo a la mayoría del país al desconocimiento de las razones que están detrás de las acciones del pueblo mapuche en sus luchas de este tiempo.
LA TELEVISIÓN COMO ARMA DESINFORMATIVA
Tal como decenas de estudios lo comprueban, la población chilena cuando desea obtener información recurre en un alto porcentaje a la televisión y a los llamados noticieros centrales de las 21:00 horas.
Aunque their patterns are marked and governed by the "country matters" when appearing on their shelves any fact related program Mapuche is linked mostly with the conflict in the south and the confrontation with police and private. Twice have been issued special programs on the Mapuche conflict, a chapter of the news program "The Look" by Chilevisión, issued in May 2009 and in the "Contact", Channel 13, issued in June. The first focused on police operations deployed in the conflict zone, counting the actual testimonies of the police and prosecutors, who have been the subject of arson attacks and criminal by the CAM. While chapter Contact balance had more claims to offer testimony of Mapuche women and children who told of oppression and terror daily living.
However, as was strongly criticized by human rights groups such as Citizens' Watch, who issued a public statement arguing that "reports of this kind do not contribute to creating an atmosphere of trust and respect ... seem more legitimate claim criminalization of the Mapuche social protest and the use of special laws which violate the due process against Mapuche leaders. "
Press, in general, addresses Mapuche whenever there is a new criminal act or confrontation, leaving little space for events such as the acquittal of the documentary filmmaker Elena Varela of the process that was against you or the hunger strike carried Mapuche prisoners in prison from mid July and even violent when you perform the procedures of the police in the area. Beyond
achieve balance, crudities and oust show some authority, disrupting the real sense of the news, in the case of the Chilean State conflict with the Mapuche people is, to say the least, a blatant lack of rigor, which the only thing that gives it a negative stigma as a mechanism for protest social change.
