| description | This article examines how some members of the Matsigenka ethnic group, an Arawak population from the south-east of the Peruvian Amazon, take ownership of and relate to the administrative unit in which they are now grouped together: the comunidad nativa (“indigenous community”). Our study will focus on the formation process of Palotoa-Teparo, a small matsigenka administrative community of the Madre de Dios department. We will see how the Matsigenka thus regrouped in a “community” take over the administrative directory imposed by the state, how they appropriate its lexicon and tools in order to build a political representation of their own. They are thereby constantly reproducing ramifications of the state, all while exercising, mutatis mutandis, political sovereignty of sorts over the territory which has been alloted to them—albeit in a cramped form. |
