From the adoption of genealogy, a theoretical-methodological perspective suggested by
Foucault (1999), and pacification studies, three emergencies of repressive processes against
Mapuche indigenous people in Chile are analyzed: the “pacification of Araucania” (1852-
1883), the Pinochet dictatorship (1973-1990) and the violence suffered by this population
in the post-redemocratization period (1990-). It is argued that the relationship between
the Chilean State and the Mapuche indigenous people, from the formation of the State to
contemporary times, is marked by practices of pacifying violence. The persistence of such
practices, although emerging in different ways over time, challenges a conception of the
State as synonymous with civil peace.
