INDIGENOUS CULTURAL REPRESENTATIONS AND MINING: A REFLECTIVE STUDY
Main Article Content
Abstract
Mining in Latin America has caused environmental and cultural problems due to the high environmental impact of excavations and the lack of cost-benefit. Furthermore, the exploration is mainly politically motivated and does not benefit the affected sectors or the country. In this paper, an analysis of the mining situations presented in the Tambo Valley in Peru has been carried out to identify the social actors involved in the conflict and the cultural representations. To this end, qualitative research with content analysis was carried out. The sample consisted of 674 testimonies processed with Atlas.ti version 8 software. Data were segmented using an open coding process into interpretive categories. Respective semantic analyses were carried out, both from the miner's and the anti-miner's perspectives, achieving worrying results that motivated the development of the conflict. Finally, the results show that the proposed mining is not beneficial for the region, does not contribute significantly to local development, and on the contrary, affects productivity, the environment, and social stability, and is also about political rather than social interests.
