| Sumario: | In this article we recover as a critical resource the expression “commercial aestheticism” that the quechuaymara thinker Fausto Reinaga (1906-1994) enunciates in his book El indio y el cholaje boliviano. Proceso a Fernando Diez de Medina (1964). Reinaga criticizes the production of the Bolivian writer Fernando Diez de Medina (1908-1990), for judging it a “fantasized aesthetic” and for being the basis from which a fiction of Indian subjects is made through an aesthetic-political reconstruction of reality, in response to the interests of a pro-American Bolivian oligarchy. To broaden our understanding of the position of Diez de Medina we review his publications in the Mexican magazine Cuadernos Americanos in the period 1951-1964 (from the dawn of the Bolivian National Revolution to the Coup d'Etat led by Barrientos) and we also explored his relationship with the military René Barrientos Ortuño. |
