I28-R145-2297_oai2025-11-17 Stella, Valentina 2017-12-21 This article analyzes the moral dimensions that circulated around the case of the restitution of human remains of longko (chief) Inacayal and his family, who - after concluded the military campaigns in Patagonia - were taken prisoner and locked in the Museum of La Plata, becoming "objects of scientific study". The work intends to investigate the way in which certain indigenous agencies are considered legitimate and ethical for the hegemonic discourse, and others do not. Within this framework, when certain claims or practices overstep the "tolerable" hegemonically floors, the actions become incorrect, "exaggerated" and annoying for those who, on behalf of the defense of rights and claims of the native peoples - try to "work-around" to certain situations of inequality and injustice. Este artículo analiza las dimensiones morales que circularon alrededor del caso de la restitución de los restos humanos del longko (cacique) Inacayal y de su familia, quienes --luego de concluidas las campañas militares enla Patagonia—fueron tomados prisioneros y encerrados en el Museo deLa Plata, transformándose en “objetos de estudio científico”. El trabajo se propone indagar la forma en que ciertas agencias indígenas son consideradas legítimas y éticas para el discurso hegemónico, y otras no. En este marco, cuando determinados reclamos o prácticas traspasan los pisos de lo hegemónicamente “tolerable” se tornan acciones incorrectas, “exageradas” y molestas para quienes—en nombre de la defensa de derechos y reclamos de los pueblos originarios— intentan “dar solución” a situaciones de desigualdad e injusticia. Este artigo explora as dimensões morais que circulavam arredores do caso do retorno de restos humanos da longko (cacique) Inacayal e sua família, que—após a conclusão das campanhas militares no Patagonia—foram preso e trancado no Museu La Plata, tornando-se "objetos de estudo científico”. O trabalho pretende investigar a maneira em que certas práticas indígenas são consideradas legítimos e éticos para o discurso hegemônico, e outras não. Neste contexto, quando se certas reivindicações ou práticas transcender os pisos hegemônicos tolerável, eles se tornam ações incorreta, " exagerada " e irritante para aqueles que—em nome da defesa dos direitos e reivindicações dos povos indígenas— tentar "resolver" situações de desigualdade e injustiça. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/runa/article/view/2297 10.34096/runa.v37i2.2297 spa Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/runa/article/view/2297/3005 RUNA, archivo para las ciencias del hombre; Vol. 37 No. 2 (2016); 61-78 RUNA, archivo para las ciencias del hombre; Vol. 37 Núm. 2 (2016); 61-78 RUNA, archivo para las ciencias del hombre; v. 37 n. 2 (2016); 61-78 1851-9628 0325-1217 Restituição Mapuche-Tehuelche Economias morais Agência Hegemonia.

This article analyzes the moral dimensions that circulated around the case of the restitution of human remains of longko (chief) Inacayal and his family, who - after concluded the military campaigns in Patagonia - were taken prisoner and locked in the Museum of La Plata, becoming "objects of scientific study". The work intends to investigate the way in which certain indigenous agencies are considered legitimate and ethical for the hegemonic discourse, and others do not. Within this framework, when certain claims or practices overstep the "tolerable" hegemonically floors, the actions become incorrect, "exaggerated" and annoying for those who, on behalf of the defense of rights and claims of the native peoples - try to "work-around" to certain situations of inequality and injustice. |
