I28-R145-24_1-2615_oai2017-09-08 Warren, Cecilia 2016-08-10 In the early twentieth century, elites from La Paz deployed a series of speeches and cultural policies designed to advance the integration of indigenous peoples into the nation that made of their folkorization the tool to forge a stereotypical “native Indian” that allowed to define the singularity of the Bolivian identity facing the international community, while empowered to establish hierarchies within the nation. This deployment, however, was not without conflict. During this period, the indigenous population -far from presenting as a folkloric element- organized the movement of “caciques apoderados” which, combining litigation practice with open rebellion, challenged the national project of the elites. In this article we analyze the concepts of nation and indianness built by Eduardo Nina Quispe, indigenous lead of the legal struggle in the early decades of the twentieth century, as a way to address the way the elite´s project was structured, in opposed or confluence, with some sectors of the indigenous movement. A comienzos del siglo XX las elites paceñas -recientemente encumbradas en el poder- desplegaron una serie de discursos y políticas culturales tendientes a propugnar la integración de la población indígena al interior de la nación que hicieron de su folkorización la herramienta para forjar un estereotipo de “indio autóctono” que permitía definir la singularidad de la bolivianidad frente a la comunidad internacional, al mismo tiempo que habilitaba establecer jerarquías al interior de la nación. Este despliegue, sin embargo, no estuvo exento de conflictos. Durante este período, a población indígena -lejos de presentarse como un elemento folklórico- organizó el movimiento de caciques apoderados que, combinando la práctica litigante con abiertas rebeliones, desafió el proyecto de nación de las elites. En este artículo nos proponemos analizar las nociones de nación e indianidad construidas por Eduardo Nina Quispe, indígena apoderado protagonista de la lucha legal durante las primeras décadas del siglo XX, como modo de abordar la manera en que el proyecto de elite se articuló, en oposición o confluencia, con algunos sectores del movimiento indígena. application/pdf http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/MA/article/view/2615 spa Memoria Americana.

In the early twentieth century, elites from La Paz deployed a series of speeches and cultural policies designed to advance the integration of indigenous peoples into the nation that made of their folkorization the tool to forge a stereotypical “native Indian” that allowed to define the singularity of the Bolivian identity facing the international community, while empowered to establish hierarchies within the nation. This deployment, however, was not without conflict. During this period, the indigenous population -far from presenting as a folkloric element- organized the movement of “caciques apoderados” which, combining litigation practice with open rebellion, challenged the national project of the elites. In this article we analyze the concepts of nation and indianness built by Eduardo Nina Quispe, indigenous lead of the legal struggle in the early decades of the twentieth century, as a way to address the way the elite´s project was structured, in opposed or confluence, with some sectors of the indigenous movement. |
