Abstract
La artesanía de jipijapa en Buenavista, debe probablemente su origen a los talleres promovidos en el s. XVIII por los misioneros jesuitas que fundaron esta localidad. Su mayor desarrollo coincide con el auge de los sombreros masculinos elaborado en este material al comienzo del s. XX, para luego decaer hasta los años 80, cuando el CIDAC-Artecampo incentivó la creación de la Asociación de Tejedoras de Palma de Ichilo, para fomentar la conservación e innovación del trabajo artesanal. Esta investigación se enfoca en la realidad actual (2018) de la actividad artesanal en Buenavista, destacando la problemática relacionada al acceso a la materia prima, los cambios realizados en la tipología de productos y la estructura de producción. De esta, se señala el carácter familiar, intergeneracional e intercultural, que tiene como finalidad la creación de objetos comercializados afuera de la comunidad, diferenciándose así de otras formas de actividades artesanales patrimonio de las comunidades indígenas de Bolivia.
The jipijapa handicraft in Buenavista probably owes its origin to the workshops promoted in the 18th Century by the Jesuit missionaries who founded this town. Its greatest development coincides with the rise of men's hats made from this material at the beginning of the 20th Century. From then on, it experienced a decline in production until the 80s, when CIDAC-Artecampo encouraged the creation of the Association of Palma Weavers de Ichilo, to promote the conservation and innovation of handcrafted work. This research focuses on the current reality (2018) of the handcrafted activity in Buenavista, highlighting the problems related to the access to raw materials, the changes made in the typology of the products, and the production structure. It explores the latter, potting out its family based structure, intergenerational and intercultural character, whose goal is the creation of products, to market them outside the community. Thus, differentiating itself from other forms of artisanal activities, heritage of the indigenous communities of Bolivia.
