| Sumario: | During the first half of the 20th century, Bolivian anarchism reached an important and original development. Despite this, its peculiar print culture and absent collection prevented it from first producing and then preserving its documents, which has been decisive for the elaboration of the history, historiography and memory of that movement. Based on these documentary gaps or “silences” that find an explanation in an archival approach situated in a framework of power, in this article we propose to advance in a theoretical and historical definition of these concepts and to reflect on the strategies developed in Bolivian and foreign repositories that allowed us to build a corpus composed of documents (bibliography, hemerography and archival fonds) capable of replenish some of these missing parts. From this exploration, we will try to demonstrate that it is possible to contest and subvert, at least partially, the power in the archives. |
