Episode Synopsis


This bonus content is a reading from Platypus, the CASTAC Blog. The full post by Valentina Moraima Acuña Bravo can be read at https://blog.castac.org/2022/05/thinking-in-constellations-problematizing-indigeneity-in-the-atacama-desert-chile/. About the post: Thinking in constellations allows us to delve into the unique experience and the history of different conceptions of indigeneity instead of focusing only on identifying specific characteristics of indigeneity. If we consider the constellation of concepts that indigeneity evokes, we can reconsider the possibilities of “indigenous” rights and policies. This implies avoiding totalizing definitions of indigeneity and moving toward recognizing the unique experience, history, and culture of places and people.
