20.500.12556/RUP-22228 The Mapuche People in Vaca Muerta, Argentina: Between Criminalization and Anti-Extractivist Resistance Aesthetics Mapuči v Vaca Muerti v Argentini: med kriminalizacijo in estetiko odpora proti ekstraktivizmu In this paper, I contextualize the conflicts that characterize Vaca Muerta in northern Patagonia, Argentina, a geological formation of unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs that over the past decade has become an area of national and international energy interest. However, social discontent, particularly from the Mapuche communities pre-existing in the area and forming the Regional Coalition Xawvn Ko of the Mapuche Confederation of Neuquén, has led these communities to express their epudiation of the oil companies and the governments in power due to the consequences of fracking: environmental damage, territorial dispossession, the criminalization of the Mapuche people, and the impoverishment of the local society. In this context, I examine the persecution of these communities and the increase in repressive measures under the current government. I also describe and analyse the inter-communitarian resurgence and resistance and how these create new political aesthetics to confront extractivism. Prispevek kontekstualizira konflikte, ki zaznamujejo Vaca Muerto v severni Patagoniji v Argentini, geološko strukturo, bogato z nekonvencionalnimi nahajališči ogljikovodikov, ki je v zadnjem desetletju postala središče nacionalnega in mednarodnega energetskega interesa. Družbeno nezadovoljstvo, zlasti med mapuškimi skupnostmi, ki na tem območju živijo že od nekdaj in ki tvorijo regionalno koalicijo Xawvn Ko konfederacije Mapučev iz Neuquéna, je privedlo do odklonilnega odnosa do naftnih podjetij in vlade zaradi posledic frackinga: okoljske škode, razlaščanja zemlje, kriminalizacije Mapučev in obubožanja lokalnih skupnosti. V tem kontekstu preučujem pregon mapuških skupnosti in porast represivnih ukrepov pod aktualno vlado. Prispevek prav tako analizira ponovno krepitev medskupnostne solidarnosti in odpora ter načine, s katerimi skupnosti ustvarjajo novo politično estetiko za soočanje z ekstraktivizmom.
