Abstract
This chapter lays out the fundamental theoretical background to the research. I begin with a brief summation of agency and identity, as they are essential to understanding Araucanian/Che culture. Agency and identity transition into Resilience Theory, its definition and concepts, as well as an explanation of the Adaptive Cycle and Panarchy. The theory is grounded in an emphasis on long-term cultural developments, the processes that go into that development, and the political, economic, social, and ideological structures that form the basis for culture.
