          Abstract

          Las economías mapuche han sido comúnmente descritas como cerradas y de subsistencia, invisibilizando cómo contribuyen y diversifican la economía. Examinando el caso de Trekaleyin, una iniciativa turística mapuche-pewenche en Alto Biobío, este artículo explora desde perspectivas diversas y decoloniales las configuraciones económicas en las que está articulada. Basado en trabajo de campo usando metodologías etnográficas y de investigación-acción, este artículo entrelaza debates actuales dentro de la geografía en torno a las economías diversas y el postdesarrollo con aspectos de las ontologías mapuche. Los resultados presentados corresponden al reconocimiento y análisis detallado de las múltiples prácticas, actores y ontologías en juego en estos ensamblajes económicos que van más allá del capitalismo. Se concluye que considerar estos elementos diversos usualmente excluidos de lo económico es crucial para reconocer el carácter performativo, híbrido y negociado de los ensamblajes económicos, y para avanzar hacia ideas y prácticas descolonizadoras acerca de la economía y el desarrollo.

          Translated abstract

          Mapuche economies have been commonly described as closed and focused only on subsistence, making the ways in which they contribute to and diversify the economy invisible. Examining the case of Trekaleyin, a Mapuche-Pewenche tourism initiative in Alto Biobio, this paper explores the economic context in which it was developed from a diverse and de-colonial perspectives. Based on fieldwork using ethnographic and Participatory Action-Research methodologies, this article brings together debates within geography on diverse economies and post-development and elements of Mapuche ontologies. The results presented, then, are based on the recognition and detailed analysis of multiple practices, actors and ontologies at play within these economic arrangements, which reach beyond capitalism. The paper concludes by considering these diverse elements, which are usually excluded from the economy, are key in recognizing the performative, hybrid and negotiated nature of economic arrangements, and in moving towards a decolonization of ideas and practices on the economy and development.
