A Santiago Times article about the mapuche's hunger strike


The anthropology studies all about the culture of the groups, and all phenomena that affect the groups, and obviously the society is a agent of change and mobility in the social groups.
In the case of Mapuche, the role of Anthropology in Chile is very important, this discipline could be show factors that influence in the public opinion the information management in the mass media.
Therefore, I chose an article of 2010: “Chile’s lesser told story: the mapuche hunger strike”, this paper describes how the media has covered only the rescue of the thirty-three miners from the San José’s mine, ignoring the hunger strike that the Mapuche conducted in the same amount of time, the article describes too the process that led to reach the Mapuche hunger strike.
From the Anthropology can study why the mass media only pay attention to rescue of the miners, from a cultural perspective. Considering the influence from the State in the Chilean mass media and the low public approval for President of citizenship, doing a great paraphernalia, extolling the figure of the President and some of his ministers, as a great leader in saving miners, putting aside every day of hunger strike of the Mapuche, who believe they have received an unfair trial and deafness by government.
Well, this subject is for a big investigation. good weekend!
