      Parallels in the Historiography of Cities in Latin American Mining Territories. Case of Antofagasta. (English)
    • Abstract:
      The most important historiographical aspects of the settlement and foundation of Antofagasta in 1868 are analyzed as a relevant Latin American mining territory to observe the economic phenomenon of extractivism and its impact on regional settlement. Through a documentary analysis the main social, political, and economic aspects related to the beginnings of the saltpeter industry in the Atacama Desert between 1860 and 1879 are identified. It is characterized among other issues, by the extensive diplomatic dispute between Bolivia and Chile for the sovereignty of that territory, in the prolegomena of the Pacific War. The results of the study identified the main parallels between the historical development of the Latin American mining sector to be able to describe the continuity of extractive practices that started in the colonial period in Latin America, which led mining camps to become mining cities in deserted zones.

    • Abstract:
      En este artículo, se analizaron los aspectos historiográficos más importantes del poblamiento y fundación de Antofagasta en el año 1868, como caso de estudio de un territorio minero relevante para observar el fenómeno económico del extractivismo en América Latina, y su incidencia en el desarrollo regional. Mediante un análisis documental se identificaron aspectos sociales, políticos y económicos relacionados con los inicios de la industria salitrera en el desierto de Atacama, entre los años 1860 y 1879, caracterizados, entre otras cuestiones, por la extensa disputa diplomática entre Bolivia y Chile por la soberanía de dicho territorio, en los prolegómenos de la Guerra del Pacífico. Los resultados del estudio identificaron paralelismos del sector minero latinoamericano en el desarrollo histórico de Antofagasta para describir las continuidades históricas de las prácticas extractivistas iniciadas desde el período colonial, convirtiendo al campamento minero en prólogo de la fundación de ciudades en zonas desérticas.
