Proyecto de Investigación. Aproximaciones teóricas. Identidades en juego: prácticas lúdicas en jóvenes mapuches

Abstract

This article has two views: in the first part I show some reasons I consider nessesary to run this investigation project, wich could be read as the interest area; in a second term, y depth in more complex matters, concretely, from which theorist approximations is possible to show some categories that will explain the pertinence of subsequent field job registers. Some concepts are result of several author sources, this eclecticism, will try to be compensated with theorist precisions , tighter as the corresponding analysis arise from the empirical data obtained. I don't have a definitive format, but I show the general theorist lines of the investigation. In this proposal, the central fact is how young mapuche people manage by different recreational practices to mean different cultural identification process. For that reason, words like: Alterity (Alteridad), Otherness (Otredad), Identity, Culture, Practices, Representations, Game, appear as necessary categories to be explained in the job. Here, I will give priority to some of them. The investigation attaches to the qualitative-ethnographic side, because, I think this is the more correct way to catch the understanding of a social phenomenon, from the view of the "actors", "agents", or, "social person".
