？Participación o pacificación social? La lógica neoliberal en el campo de la salud intercultural en Chile: el caso atacame？o

this article analyzes the mechanisms of expansion of state power that, since the 1990s, intercultural policies have begun to push forward in chile, through the constitution of new spaces for social participation. i aim to reveal those processes of ethnogovernamentality that have operated in the construction of new fields of power/knowledge, whose principal effect has been the widening and consolidation of state intervention over indigenous territory, such as the atacame？o. in this sense, i seek to show, at an ethnographic level, the way these new devices of control and regulation over population are put into motion, specifically through the creation of the council of local health development, in mid 2006, within the structure of the general rural health office of san pedro de atacama district.
