this article reviews the complex scenario confronted by the indigenous community of likantatay in the face of the consequences of a mining development project and the potential forced resettlement that this project would imply for the community. the article provides an analysis of the strategies of indigenous resistance that are present or potentially present among the community and the discourses and ideological strategies elaborated by the mining corporation to advance the interests of capital. the latter analysis is framed in a theoretical discussion which identifies two underlying ethical systems which confront each other: the corporation′s ethics (utilitarian) vs. the community′s ethics (deontological).
