André Menard holds a PhD in Sociology from the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS), and is professor and researcher at the Department of Anthropology of the Universidad de Chile. His work has centred on Mapuche political history, focusing on the political uses of the notion of race in Chilean and Mapuche context. In this frame he has edited, with Jorge Pavez the photographic album Mapuche y Anglicanos, vestigios fotográficos de la Misión Araucana de Kepe (1896-1908) (Santiago de Chile: Ocho Libros, 2008), and more recently the manuscripts of the mystical Mapuche leader Manuel Aburto Panguilef Libro Diario del Presidente de la Federación Araucana, Manuel Aburto Panguilef (1940-1951) (Santiago de Chile: CoLibris, 2013). His current research focuses on the theories of fetish and their applications to the analysis of the legal and political status of indigenous peoples.
Constanza Tizzoni is student of the Department of Anthropology of the Universidad de Chile. At present she is preparing a thesis on the legal uses of culture and anthropological reports in the Araucania Region courts (the Mapuche territory).
