Abstract

ResumenLa caza costera tradicional de ballenas o "pesca de ballenas" se inicia en la zona de Talcahuano en la primera mitad del siglo XIX y luego se extiende hacia el sur de Chile, llegando hasta la Isla Grande de Chiloé.En este trabajo nos interesa escribir una etnografía de la caza costera en Tumbes e isla Santa María, denominada en la literatura de la época "pesca de ballenas".Los datos sobre estas operaciones provienen de una serie de informes escritos a comienzos del siglo XX, complementados con datos provenientes de revisiones documentales administrativas, de búsquedas en diarios locales y de conversaciones con personas que conocieron el oficio de primera mano.La integración de estos datos permite escribir un relato plausible sobre la caza de ballenas en el centro sur de Chile en los comienzos del siglo XX, considerando que se trata de "un evento del pasado".

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
