SCHIAFFINI, Hernán. The significant community as a device of interpellation. Power and interethnic relations in Chubut and Río Negro. Runa [online]. 2024, vol.45, n.1, pp.153-164.  Epub Feb 01, 2024. ISSN 1851-9628.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34096/runa.v45i1.12868.

The significant community is analyzed around four central dimensions: as a concept of social theory, as a legal notion, as a political institution and as a form of identification. To do this we use ethnographic fieldwork carried out in Chubut and Río Negro, in Argentine Patagonia. It is argued that the community is a figure that was recently constituted, within the framework of interpellation/identification devices linked to historical processes that articulate diverse social experiences. As such, it takes shape in a specific context, linked to the democratic restoration of 1983 and crystallizes as a political-legal form of inter-ethnic relations in the period that opens at that time
