This paper explores the narration of Héctor Llaitul, a historical reference of the Coordinadora Arauco-Malleco, an organization of armed resistance associated with the Mapuche people of southern Chile, regarding the historical facts exposed in La Araucana by Alonso de Ercilla. I establish a relationship between that epic text and Llaitul's principles and thoughts about the military and weichafe ethics in reference to Lautaro (Leftraru). There is an analysis about contradictions and political and identity complexities that Llaitul, along with Jorge Arrate, his co-author in Weichan who interviews him in prison, finds regarding the Araucanian-Mapuche legacy that is declared in the Chilean republican tradition and that actually comes from La Araucana.

The category of "insufficiency" is widely used in criticism that addresses César Vallejo's poetry; however, frameworks that deploy this category tend to omit that poetry's ethical dimensions. The genealogical method of this paper denaturalizes the concept of insufficiency to show a previously unacknowledged ethical critique of sacrificial history, which emerges through a negative order of perception. Drawing on Maria Zambrano's sociopolitical thought to describe active modes of insufficiency, I argue that the ethos of Vallejo's poetry sought to rehumanize political life by elevating the subject's indivisible constitution as protagonist and author of history, while proposing a responsible anagnorisis in response to the nightmare of tragedy.
