Dichas representaciones ubican a lo originario en un antes y un afuera que invisibiliza o mejor aún, visibiliza a medias, es decir relativiza las presencias contemporáneas y coterráneas en un contexto de emergencias e identificaciones comechingonas, poniéndolas en cuestión y discusión

Spanish translation:contemporary and autochthonous presences
Explanation:
I believe there is not a good equivalent translation, since a direct translation of "coterráneo" is countryman, or compatriot, which both relate to a person, not a thing.
You could say "of the same country", but the style of the text is lost. This is a good translation, especially since the text relates this to external influences.
