The Need to Compromise Existence. Nation and Decolonization in the Bolivian Cinema of the Neoliberal Era
Abstract
The aim of this essay is twofold: to analyze post-dictatorial Bolivian filmic discourse on the thematic of the nation vis-à-vis processes of decolonization, and to observe the effect that this relation had in the formation of subjectivities during the so called “neoliberal” era . Toward this end, I examine three films that reflect on the colonial condition of the nation through cinematographic language: Mi socio (Paolo Agazzi, 1982), La nación clandestina (Jorge Sanjinés, 1989), and American Visa (Juan Carlos Valdivia, 2005).
