La imposibilidad mestiza en La nación clandestina. Construcciones emblemáticas en el cine de Jorge Sanjinés*
Abstract
En este artículo se analiza la representación crítica del mestizaje que el cineasta boliviano Jorge Sanjinés presenta en su film La nación clandestina (1989). Se postula que fundamentalmente este film expresa la preocupación por la construcción de la nación cultural boliviana, el mestizaje -como categoría social- es superado y más bien sujeto a una imposibilidad. Por el contrario, el film muestra una nación fundada en la "esencia andina" que, por lo demás, Sanjinés pretende reforzar no sólo con el argumento del film sino también con los modelos narrativos que aplica y que afirman su posición política-ideológica.
In this article the author analyzes the critical representation of the mestizaje that the Bolivian film director Jorge Sanjinés presents in his film, The clandestine nation (1989). It is claimed in the film, which fundamentally expresses the concern for the construction of the cultural Bolivian nation, that the mestizaje -as social category- is surpassed and rather found to be holding on to an impossibility. On the contrary, the film shows a nation founded on the "Andean essence" that Sanjinés tries to also reinforce not only with the film´s argument but also with the narrative models that he applies and that affirm his political-ideological position.
