Abstract

Based on a discoursive source of 1938 we analize the predominant ideas and values related to indians present in the adjoining social surroundings of a Mapuche tribe of Coliqueo, located in Los Toldos, Buenos Aires province. A first view of these representations in the socio-economic frame of Buenos Aires' countryside lead us to focus on the role of non-indian local society as an integration agent of the mapuche population to the regional pampean context. Related to this, we will take into consideration discourses referring to the indians as "othering practices" showing the contradictory ways of exclusion and inclusion of this "inner other" and the ways of representation of the local society in the national framework.
