Abstract
NUNEZ GONZALEZ, Andrés; ALISTE ALMUNA, Enrique and BELLO MALDONADO, Álvaro. Patagonia-Aysén in the construction of the nation imaginary. Iztapalapa. Rev. cienc. soc. humanid. [online]. 2014, vol.35, n.76, pp.165-188. ISSN 2007-9176. https://doi.org/10.28928/ri/762014/aot2/nunezgonzaleza/alistealumnae/bellomaldonadoa.
This paper proposes that the territory of Patagonia-Aysén (Chile) is not naturally a peripheral area but -instead- the result of a historical-geographical production that constructed as a peripheral spatiality. The text identifies the production processes of fixed geographical imaginaries in a state-centered perspective and concludes that the territory of Patagonia-Aysén can be explained by the social frames from where it is projected.
