Abstract

The practice of navigation is and has been central to the different human groups that have inhabited Cape Horn archipelago and for the formation of the territory as we know it today. The objective is to reveal the modes of navigation from an ecological socio-material perspective that allows us to recreate the social life of Cape Horn and some of its transformations since the introduction of the king crab industry in the 70's to the present. This is achieved from an exploratory study based on ethnographic fieldwork, complemented with remote interviews and documentary work. The results present different effects of the transformations that have occurred in the modes of navigation and pose opportunities to imagining new routes for this archipelago.
