Desde nuestras miradas: a comunicação e a produção audiovisual indígena construindo o estado plurinacional na Bolívia

Abstract

This work focuses on the relationship of indigenous audiovisual production in Bolivia with construction of the plurinational state. For this, research was mainly developed with a look at the practices, discourses and activities associated with indigenous video production of Centro de Formación y Realización Cinematográfica (CEFREC) and Coordinadora Audiovisual Indigena Originaria de Bolivia (CAIB). In 1996 both institutions shaped the National Plan of Indigenous Communication (Plan Nacional de Comunicación Audiovisual Indígena) with five national indigenous organizations of greater amplitude. This dissertation shows the convergence between these organizations, despite having different views on national policy; it’s managed to achieve a strategy of indigenous communication which reached a production and a significant spread in the country and communities, in addition to articulating a continental indigenous communications network.
