CERRA, María Camila. En el devenir de las políticas públicas: Programa de Relevamiento Territorial de comunidades indígenas. Comunidad diaguita-calchaquí "El Divisadero. Intersecciones antropol. [online]. 2014, vol.15, n.1, pp.103-114. ISSN 1850-373X.

This article examines the implications of the Argentine government actions and the social actors' practices during the implementation of the Geographical Survey Program in the Diaguita-Calchaquí indigenous community "El Divisadero", in Cafayate, province of Salta, Argentina. The Program will be analyzed from an ethnohistorical perspective as part of the state's process of re-territorialization, a process with not unusual negotiations and power struggles. This paper will firstly describe the public policies on the indigenous issue carried out in Argentina and in the international framework. Secondly, it will assess the Geographical Survey Program in Salta province considering its implementation process and goals set out during its drafting. Finally, some implications will be presented on the implementation of the Program in the Diaguita-Calchaquí indigenous community "El Divisadero". In this case, the indigenous involvement in the program implementation has been reflected in map drawings and new partnerships with government agencies. Thus, the article will show how the challenges of implementing the Geographical Survey Program in Salta reveal the tensions and conflicts arisen during the interaction of the participating social actors.

Keywords : Geographical survey; Re-territorialization; Diaguita indigenous community; Public policies.
