Abstract
La presente investigación se centra en el análisis de las prácticas sociales de buzos, asistentes y tripulantes de embarcaciones que explotan el alga luga roja (Gigartina skottsberguii) en isla Guafo, un territorio ubicado en el sur de Chile y que se considerada la puerta de entrada a la Patagonia costera-insular. Mediante una observación etnográfica detallada se verán como se asientan las estructuras económicas y la vida cotidiana de los hombres que habitan el área en forma transitoria, orientando nuestro análisis también a la comprensión de como ellos y los imaginarios impactan en la construcción del paisaje local. El trabajo se compone de un apartado teórico-metodológico que fundamenta nuestra investigación, un planteamiento histórico que contextualiza el espacio estudiado y un análisis antropológico que dimensiona los componentes culturales existentes en el complejo entramado social construido por los buzos. Veremos como operan diariamente diversos riesgos asociados al trabajo y frente a ellos como existen distintos elementos que ayudan a aminorar las presiones y los peligros a que se ven enfrentados los cuerpos. Como las formas productivas establecidas en la isla son fundamentales para entender las dinámicas sociales y las relaciones establecidas entre los grupos y con las geografías. Un espacio dominado por diversas historias y objetos que conforman y entregan significados a los lugares...
The focus of this study was placed on the social practices of divers, assistants and crew of vessels that exploit the red alga ‘luga’ (Gigartina skottsberguii) on Guafo Island, a territory located in southern Chile and considered the gateway to coastal-insular Patagonia. This work reveals, through a detailed ethnographic observation, how the economic structures and daily life of men who transiently inhabit the area are established, yet orienting our analysis also to the understanding of how they and the social imaginaries have an impact on the construction of the local landscape. This study consists of a theoretical-methodological section that underpins our research, a historical approach that contextualizes the space studied, and an anthropological analysis that dimensions the cultural components existing in the complex social framework built by divers. Being underwater poses various constrains, and hence this study gives an insight into the daily risks encountered by these men during their work and into the different elements that lessen the burden and dangers faced by their bodies. Furthermore, it is important to mention that the productive forms established on the island are essential to understand the social dynamics and the relations established between the groups and their geographies...
