Accumulation By Dispossession In Chile. The Case Of Forestry And Wood Facility Panguipulli In The South Of Chile (1973-1990)

Abstract

The work encompasses the analysis accumulation by dispossession in the south of Chile, from the study of Forestry and Wood Facility Panguipulli, and the establishment of military dictatorship, revealed in state terrorism and politicaleconomic disciplining of the territory. This allows us to confirm that a new regime of neoliberal exploitation was built, with the precarization of work and the productive destruction of the territories as its key.

We are interested in focusing the analysis in the process of destruction of the production unit that included the Forestry and Wood Complex Panguipulli, starting from its privatization and economic control mechanisms of the territory, emphasizing the impact on the situation of the workers and the locals. We will expose, for this, the main actions of dictatorial structure to achieve the metamorphosis of the territory, and make possible the spread of rural villages, to provide a flexible workforce for productive activities of the central model.
