FIORI, Ayelen. "The taperas force us to remember the eviction": Memories of territorial expropriation in Boquete Nahuelpan. Runa [online]. 2019, vol.40, n.1, pp.101-112. ISSN 1851-9628.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.34096/runa.v40i1.4994.

The article analyzes, from an ethnographic perspective, the relations between memory and territory through the reconstruction of stories of Mapuche Tehuelche families who were violently expelled from Boquete Nahuelpan (Chubut) in 1937. This writing is based on first results of the fieldwork that I have being doing during the last two years, by tours to the expropriated lands as well as interviews to some of the families involved in the eviction. I intend to inquire the meaning that certain places such as the "taperas" and old paths acquire in the memory of the interviewees, preventing forgetfulness and challenging the limits established by fences.

Keywords : Territorial expropriation; Mapuche tehuelche people; Memories; taperas; Boquete Nahuelpan.
