description | Where can we find Marxism today? Answering this question raises a problem that Jacques Derrida assumed when he said: “there is more than one of them, there must be more than one of them (them meaning Marx´s ghosts)” Then, which is the Marx that Althusser invites us to read and to translate into political action? The aim of this text is to trace the guidelines of the Marx that Althusser shapes (through the concepts of political practice and theoretical practice) in Álvaro García Linera´s thought.These althusserian concepts allow us to propose Álvaro García Linera as the “heir” (Derrida, 1995) of Marxist philosophy and as a theorist of revolution today. His militant condition and his position as Bolivia´s vice-president determine his theoretical production because he does not develop this production in the middle of nothingness but writes in a very particular political situation. Thus, we can understand that García Linera addresses in his theoretical practice something that is objectively present in the historical process during which, and about which, he is writing: the liberating power of the indigenous people.We are going to focus on Linera´s re-reading of the Communist Manifesto though these althusserian concepts in order to get a deeper scope of a thought that invokes Marx at the same time that it highlights the necessity of thinking within the political situation. By doing this, we are not aiming to make conclusions about its truthfulness or falsehood; instead, we are trying to produce a political analysis of his discourse in order to research the contradictions which emerge when Marx is read through the variants that the political situation proposes and, by doing this, we are also trying to deepen the studies in communication and politics. We will also go through interviews, conferences and other texts written by the vice president of Bolivia to locate the most recent developements of his thoughts. Our aim is to start tracing a series of interlocutors with which García Linera contends and argues, in order to set the basis of a research process that will deepen the analysis of his works. |

Contestar esta pregunta suscita el problema que Jacques Derrida (1995: 40) asume cuando sostiene: “hay más de uno, debe haber más de un (Marx)”. ¿Cuál es entonces el Marx que Althusser nos invita a leer y a llevar a la acción política? El objetivo de este texto es rastrear los lineamientos del Marx que sugiere Althusser (a través de los conceptos de práctica política y práctica teórica) en el pensamiento de Álvaro García Linera.Estos conceptos althusserianos nos llevan a plantear a Álvaro García Linera como “heredero” (Derrida, 1995) de la filosofía marxista. Por su condición de militante y vicepresidente de Bolivia, su producción teórica se desarrolla dentro de una coyuntura muy particular. Es así como podemos entender que García Linera no hace más que abordar en su producción teórica un problema que está objetivamente planteado por el proceso en el que se encuentra: la potencia emancipadora del componente comunitario indígena.Pondremos el foco en la relectura del Manifiesto comunista que propone García Linera a través de estos conceptos althusserianos para adentrarnos en un pensamiento que invoca a Marx al mismo que tiempo que resalta la necesidad de pensar dentro de la coyuntura. De esta manera, no buscamos sacar conclusiones sobre su verdad o falsedad sino más bien producir un análisis político de su discurso con el fin de rastrear las contradicciones que surgen de leer a Marx a través de las variantes que propone la coyuntura, y así profundizar los análisis en comunicación y política.También nos valdremos de entrevistas, conferencias y otros escritos suyos para situar su pensamiento en la actualidad. Finalmente nos proponemos rastrear una serie de interlocutores con los que discute y argumenta para sentar las bases de un proyecto de investigación que profundice el análisis de su obra. 2016-12-27 2022-03-17T13:26:37Z 2022-03-17T13:26:37Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo revisado por pares https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/astrolabio/article/view/13243 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/35558 spa https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/astrolabio/article/view/13243/16211 application/pdf Centro de Investigaciones y Estudios sobre Cultura y Sociedad Astrolabio; Núm. 17 (2016): PASADO Y PRESENTE DE LAS POLÍTICAS Y PRÁCTICAS DE CONTROL Y VIGILANCIA DE LA MIGRACIÓN EN SUDAMÉRICA; 284-306 1668-7515 |
