Resumen

Este artículo analiza el film Vuelve Sebastiana (1953) de Jorge Ruiz, centrándose en sus dimensiones estéticas e ideológicas. El propósito del análisis es poner en diálogo la idea de “nación” propuesta por el film en el marco de las transformaciones culturales que vinieron de la mano de las políticas económicas y sociales impulsadas por la Revolución Nacional de 1952, y la forma en que la comunidad chipaya es representada. La hipótesis central del artículo establece que el film de Ruiz debe ser entendido no sólo como expresión de la nueva identidad nacional que empieza a articularse bajo el proyecto revolucionario, sino sobre todo como expresión de un nuevo imaginario nacional que empieza a configurarse en relación con las comunidades indígenas del altiplano. El artículo sostiene que la representación de la nación, con base en las nuevas cartografías espacio temporales del proyecto modernizador revolucionario, visibiliza las tensiones y contradicciones de este proyecto y el lugar que en el nuevo imaginario nacional ocupan las comunidades indígenas. En este sentido, Vuelve Sebastiana permite leer, desde estos desencuentros, la reconfiguración del imaginario que ha redefinido las relaciones entre el Estado y las comunidades indígenas del altiplano a lo largo de la segunda mitad del siglo XX.
