LORCA, Mauricio  e  HUFTY, Marc. El patrimonio como forma de resistencia a la gran minería: El caso del Huasco Alto, Chile. Intersecciones antropol. [online]. 2017, vol.18, n.1, pp.31-42. ISSN 1850-373X.

This article discusses how the idea of territorial heritage has been used by the Comunidad Agrícola de Ascendencia Diaguita Los Huascoaltinos as a resistance strategy against two large mining projects. The progressive articulation of a heritage discourse aimed at valuing territory coincided with a process of re-ethnicization undertaken by local families around the Diaguita ethnonym 20 years ago. These two dynamics interacted and led to a revitalization of Diaguita institutions, helping the community to claim an increased control over their property and the right to choose its own path towards development.
