Taught in Spanish at Pontificia Universidad Católica; may not be offered every semester. The Chilean Constitutional process has brought the discussion about the formation of a plurinational country. What does this concept really mean? When did this concept enter the public discussion around the world? What experiences already exist? When did the Latin American Indigenous movement build the idea of a plurinational State? What is self-determination?
This class aims to help answer these questions from a historical perspective, applying methods and key concepts of social studies to the period between 1992-2021. To accomplish this we will apply an analytic reflection using short-term categories to understand one of the most important movements on a continental level in the last three decades.
Upon successfully completing this class, you will be able to
- Apply methods and key concepts of history and the respective historiographic analysis considering the Latin American Indigenous movements between 1986 and 2020.
- Analyze the historic timeframe in question, considering the Indigenous movements’ perspectives and the perspectives of the movements’ leading academics.
- Evaluate the Indigenous movements and their principal concepts in their historical dimension.
