Sumario: | This article approaches Neuquen’s state discursive practices in reference to the Mapuce people. It studies the case of the community Campo Maripe, due to its location on the hub of the territory used for hydrocarbon extraction: the Loma Campana field, in the geological formation of Vaca Muerta. The main hypothesis is that, because of the strategic characteristics of the area claimed by the community as their own, a securitization of their demands has taken place. It begins with a review of the theoretical starting points, to then present the case of the community in the context of territorial conflicts in the last decades. After that, it analyzes the portraying of Campo Maripe by Neuquen’s state official news site, Neuquen Informa, in the period 2013-2015, during which the conflict escalated in the area due to the dispute between the community and the provincial state. Then it addresses the statements of two agents -the Secretary of Development and Environment and the attorney- in the context of the prosecution of six members of the community, during the trial that took place in 2019. |
