Resumen
Descripción
A partir de la comprensión de la fiesta popular se discuten dos temas importantes sobre Bolivia: la conexión democratización social y forma estatal y la dispar articulación de disponibilidad social. En tal sentido, argumenta que, aunque la fiesta popular se desarrolla en un contexto de aparente “trasformación” política en Bolivia, el Estado no se relaciona con ella.Es la festividad del Gran Poder, en La Paz, la que expande su lógica a otros espacios. Así,la fiesta hecha por migrantes aymaras, es una actividad que se gestiona desde “abajo” y evita ser cooptada por el poder político y la presencia de mediadores. En la fiesta popular se evidencia el funcionamiento de otra lógica cultural y otros valores respecto al Estado y, sin embargo, todo ello apunta a la reafirmación de su identidad nacional. Es interesante ver cómo articulan estratégicamente su lógica para concluir, afirmándose como sujetos nacionales,folcloristas y migrantes.
In this paper two important Bolivian issues are discussed through the popular Bolivian Andes Celebration: social democratization connection, the state form, and unequal articula tion of social disposal. In this sense, it is shown that although the popular celebration takes place at a Bolivian “political transformation” apparent context, the state is not involved in it. This is the Great Power celebration in La Paz which expands its logic to other places. Thus, this celebration created by Aymara immigrants is an activity which has been organi zed by “the people” and avoids being coopted by the politic power and mediators presence. Another cultural logic and values, in regard to the state perception, are shown at the popu lar celebration. Although, everything seems to aim to a national identity reaffirmation, it is really interesting to notice how the concluding logic, national citizen affirmation, folklorists and immigrants are articulated.
