Abstract

This article analyses the politics of memory in Bolivia from the so-called Gas War in 2003 and the crisis of 2019, travelling from a struggle for power to state's legitimation language and back to the streets. It also studies dissident movements that claimed reparation from the Plurinational State, particularly human rights activists and the regional movement of Potosí. I define the Plurinational State as a ‘memory state’ that, by strongly tying its legitimation to the injustices of the past uncovered by the previous cycle of protests, forced all political groups to use the grammar of memory to dispute Bolivian politics.

记忆状态：多民族玻利维亚对过去的争论

本文分析了玻利维亚的记忆政治，从2003年所谓的天然气战争到2019年的危机，从权力斗争到国家的合法性语言，再到街头。它还研究要求多民族国家赔偿的不同政见运动，特别是人权活动人士和Potosí区域运动。我将多民族国家定义为一个“记忆国家”，通过将其合法性与前一轮抗议所揭露的过去的不公正紧密联系在一起，迫使所有政治团体使用记忆的语法来争论玻利维亚的政治。
