Constituting around 5 to 10 per cent of Chileans, from 1881 to 1920 the Mapuche were gradually relegated to just 3,000 ‘reductions’: 6.4 per cent of their original territory (Park and Richards, 2007 : 1321). The Pinochet regime practised a form of ethnic cleansing by privatising indigenous lands. Dissenters were tortured or

All three places are the effect of economic and political deterritorialisation and, therefore, deconstruct conventional territorial tropes about a coherent identity founded on the isomorphism of the

Each filmmaker locates this deterritorialised imaginary in geo-aesthetical terms: Barriga’s camera frame in the London Tube stop and its inability to locate the father; Sandra Gómez’s space of the borderland as a utopian open city; Rolando’s living traditions wherein the nation is dispersed and transculturated in the streets of com parsa and in the gardens of
