The ethnic-cultural (re)naissance in Chile is currently undergoing an expansion as well as a diversification along lines of minority cultures and gender differentiations. Since the explosion onto the Chilean literary landscape of the bilingual poet Leonel Lienlaf in 1989, Mapuche-Huilliche writers have come into the spotlight of academia, state, and popular culture critics. Younger generations of Huilliche poets are distinguishing themselves through a hybrid, reflexive, and literary expressiveness. In opposition to the poetry that is tied to indigenous cultural institutions, orality, and traditional rural forms of existence, these poets thrive and strive for a pluricultural and complex way of living and expressing themselves. This work explores a selection of poets and their individual circumstances in an attempt to delineate the differences within and between these poets and the more traditional ones, and suggest a greater cultural change that is coming about in south Chile. RESUMEN: El (re)nacimiento etnico-cultural en Chile esta experimentando un proceso de expansion y diversificacion por lineas de culturas minoritarias y diferenciaciones de genero. Desde la explosion en el ambito literario chileno, en 1989, del poeta bilingue Leonel Lienlaf, escritores de raices mapuche-huilliche han sido objetos de estudio de la academia, el Estado y criticos de la cultura popular. Entre otras diferencias actuales, una joven generacion de poetas huilliche se esta distinguiendo por medio de una expresividad hibrida, reflexiva y explicitamente literaria. En oposicion a la poesia arraigada a instituciones culturales indigenas, oralidad y formas tradicionales de existencia y sobrevivencia rural, estos poetas buscan y florecen en medio de una pluriculturalidad y una compleja manera de vivir y expresarse. Este trabajo explora una seleccion de poetas y sus circunstancias individuales en un intento de demarcar las diferencias, y sugerir un mayor giro cultural que se esta desarrollando en el sur de Chile.
