Resumen

TEJERINA VARGAS, Verónica Stella. Estado Plurinacional y herencia colonial Alternativas a la de-construcción de estructuras coloniales de poder. Rev. de Inv. Educ. [online]. 2010, vol.3, n.1, pp.213-227. ISSN 1997-4043.

Bolivia is heir to a colonial tradition embodied in the practices of everyday relatíonships of its political and social agents. In turn, the current historical moment poses the challenge of the re-configuration of a new state, which contributes to the de-construction of the existing colonial structures. However, the question arises, could structures and colonial practices of power get repeated in the context of the new plurinational state? The "internal colonialism" has kept the "social classes" introduced in the colony, segmenting society: dominant and dominated classes, upper and lower, generating what Zabaleta Mercado called an "Apparent State." While the State should exercise the role of representing the "collective self', to build a sense of "belonging" by articulating diversity creating an optimal organic social relationship, this reality has not been possible with colonial bases in place. Colonial practices have been mimicked in the current state structures by the tendency of the current government to want to impose its hegemonic political project and visión, subsuming and subordinating the will of social movements to the authority of the state, establishing a new social classification: those who favor the change process, and those against it, running the risk of imposing a homogeneous society. In this way interculturalism is presented as a practical emancipation alternative to structures of colonial domination from society, and as an experience to be considered from the current plurinational state, to break with the former colonial heritage.

Palabras clave : Plurinational state colonial; power structures.
