GRIECO, Alfredo y MURILLO, Bavio*Mario. Biography and anti-biography in 1952 Bolivian Revolution: Some narrative answers to a methodological question. Rev Cien Cult [online]. 2012, n.29, pp.87-100. ISSN 2077-3323.
Starting with a reflection on biography and anti-biography in 1952 Boli-vian Revolution, this article analyzes a few narratives that countered the nationalist version that the governing party, MNR, built on the facts of April 1952. The authors argue that this partywas able to set up successfully a narrative on the 1952 Holy Week facts thanks to the didactic binaries in the Álbum de la Revolución, in the murals in the Revolution's Museum-Monument, in José Fellman Velarde and Carlos Montenegro writings as well as in many other texts backed upon a national state. Nonetheless, there were other narratives seeking to "deconstruct" or directly to negate the nationalistic version. The article focusses on such narratives -Tristán Marof 's Breve Biografía de Víctor Paz Estenssoro: Vida y trasfondo de la política boliviana or Marcelo Quiroga Santa Cruz Los deshabitados- intending to understand some "adversary logic" strategies that counter that popular historiography created by the MNR.
