The thesis examines Bolivian fiction written about the war with Paraguay (1932-35), known as the Chaco War. The study takes two different perspectives: the first considers the fiction as works of literature, and studies three major aspects of fictional writing: narrative organization, characterization arid figurative language, in order to investigate the constraints imposed upon writers who produce fiction about an historical event, (in this instance a military conflict). The second perspective views the works of fiction as historical documents and assesses their informative value by comparing factual information supplied in the novels with that provided in historiographical accounts and also by examining the kind of information which is the peculiar contribution of fiction to the understanding of an historical event. These two examinations are undertaken in Chapters V and VI respectively, and constitute the main body of the thesis. In order to place them in a wider context, the thesis considers previous critical studies of Chaco War fiction (in the Introduction). There follows a study of the relationship between the writing of contemporary history and documentary fiction (Chapter I), a brief summary of the Chaco War (Chapter II), an examination of some possible influences and precedents (Chapter III) and a survey of the writers and the works of Bolivian fiction of the Chaco War (Chapter IV). The conclusion suggests that the problems encountered by writers of documentary fiction are those faced by any naturalist writer, compounded here by the nature of the subject matter. If they cannot fully succeed on an artistic level, however, these works do provide a view of the historical facts of the war which is reasonably accurate. In addition they lead to a distinctive understanding of the war as an historical experience which no historiographical work can produce.

Marilda Aparecida Menezes / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do ABC, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Humanas e Sociais, 2016. / Essa pesquisa apresenta como mulheres bolivianas no município de Indaiatuba-SP poderiam exercer uma certa cidadania através da saúde pública ainda que elas não sejam consideradas cidadãs nos termos da lei, e levando em conta o fato de que muitas vezes estão vivendo sob condições precárias de trabalho e identidade. Para isso, esse estudo aborda as condições de trabalho e vida de mulheres bolivianas através de uma pesquisa bibliográfica além de analisar as narrativas sobre trabalho nas vozes das mulheres bolivianas e na dos agentes de saúde do Programa Saúde da Família, bem como se busca entender as percepções dos agentes de saúde sobre as migrantes bolivianas e a relação delas com o sistema de saúde; analisar o que se narra e o que se silencia sobre as relações de trabalho e condições de vida por intermédio das narrativas dos agentes, dos médicos do Programa e, também, das próprias bolivianas. A dissertação traz, no capítulo 1 aspectos teóricos das migrações e em especial a migração feminina boliviana. No capítulo 2 apresento a pesquisa bibliográfica destacando o trabalho da costura realizado pelas bolivianas, mediante uma análise da legislação trabalhista e um estado da arte que respalda e sustenta a parte empírica da pesquisa. Já no capítulo 3 descrevo a formação histórica do município de Indaiatuba, dando destaque aos grupos migratórios e, por fim, analiso o trabalho de campo sobre a migração boliviana feminina e sua relação com a política de saúde. / This research presents a way for Bolivian women in the city of Indaiatuba-SP (Brazil) to exert a certain citizenship through public healthcare, even though they aren't considered citizens by law, and taking into account the fact that many of them are living under precarious conditions of labor and identity. In this regard, this study approaches the work and life conditions of Bolivian women by means of a bibliographic review, in addition to an analysis of narratives about labor through the spoken words of the Bolivian women and of the healthcare agents of the Programa Saúde Família (Family Healthcare Program), while reaching for an understanding of the perceptions of the healthcare agents in regard to the Bolivian immigrants and their relation with the healthcare system; the analysis of what is spoken and what is made silent in the subject of the work relations and life conditions by means of the agents' narratives, the Program doctors' and also the narratives of the Bolivians themselves. The dissertation brings, in chapter 1, theoretical aspects of the migrations and in particular of Bolivian feminine migration. In chapter 2, I present the bibliographic review highlighting the sewing work performed by the Bolivians, by way of an analysis of the labor law and a state of the art that upholds and supports the empirical part of the research. As for chapter 3, in it I describe the historic formation of the city of Indaiatuba, highlighting the migratory groups and, finally, I analyze the gathered data regarding Bolivian feminine migration and its relation with the healthcare policies.

Orientadora: Profa. Dra. Ana Keila Mosca Pinezi / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do ABC, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Humanas e Sociais, 2016. / Na virada do século XX para o XXI, a questão da entrada de imigrantes no Brasil ganhou novamente destaque. Na cidade de São Paulo destaca-se a imigração boliviana, que remonta à década de 1950 com a chegada de bolivianos participantes do Programa de Intercâmbio Cultural Brasil-Bolívia. O aumento da presença estrangeira se dá em todos os espaços sociais e, obviamente, não é diferente no ambiente escolar. De acordo com dados da Secretaria Municipal de Educação de São Paulo, no ano de 2016 havia quase 3700 alunos estrangeiros matriculados na rede, sendo 2358 bolivianos. Tendo isso em mente e diante da constante presença de crianças bolivianas na rede municipal de São Paulo, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar as relações sociais que acontecem entre elas, seus colegas brasileiros e os educadores no espaço escolar. Em síntese, buscou-se compreender como se dão as relações interculturais no ambiente escolar a partir da presença de estudantes bolivianos no ciclo de alfabetização de uma escola pública paulistana, tendo como fundamentação os princípios da educação intercultural, além das questões da teoria social relacionadas à alteridade e ao processo de construção da identidade. A metodologia utilizada foi o estudo etnográfico, em que realizamos observação participante nas atividades escolares de sete turmas de 1º a 3º ano de uma escola pública municipal, localizada no bairro da Mooca, zona leste da cidade de São Paulo, que possui alunos bolivianos em seu corpo discente. Destas, foram selecionadas duas turmas (1º e 2º anos) e propostas atividades de leitura, roda de conversa e elaboração de ilustrações com o intuito de observar e compreender como os alunos entendem a questão da diversidade em sala de aula. Também foram realizadas entrevistas com cinco professores do ciclo de alfabetização, uma auxiliar de classe e uma das coordenadoras pedagógicas da escola. Os principais pontos que trabalhamos neste estudo foram as questões relacionadas à discriminação e ao preconceito, com exemplos em situações cotidianas e nas falas dos sujeitos da escola. A análise dos dados foi feita à luz da teoria social no que se refere à diversidade, interculturalidade e alteridade e da educação intercultural. Concluímos que é imprescindível que a escola repense seu papel para possibilitar uma socialização adequada e o aprendizado de todos os estudantes. / In the turn from the 20th century to the 21st one the immigrant entrance issue in Brazil gained prominence again. At the city of São Paulo stands out the Bolivian Immigration, calling back to the 1950s, with the arrival of the Bolivians participants of the Brazil-Bolivia Cultural Interchange Program. The foreign presence raise happens in all social spaces and, obviously, it¿s not different in the school environment. According to data from the São Paulo¿s Secretary of Education, in 2016 there were almost 3700 foreign students registered in the network, about 2358 being Bolivians. Keeping this in mind and facing the constant presence of Bolivian children in São Paulo¿s network, the objective of this research was analyze the relationship happening between them, their Brazilian colleagues and educators in the school space. In summary, we seek to comprehend how cultural interaction happens in the school environment by the presence of Bolivian students in the literacy cycle of a São Paulo public school. Having as fundaments the principles of intercultural education, in addition to issues of social theory related to otherness and to the process of identity construction. The used methodology was the ethnographic study with participating observation. The school activities of seven classes from 1st to 3rd years that possess Bolivian students in their student body were observed and accompanied. These were selected two groups (1st and 2nd years) and proposed activities of reading, conversation circle and preparation of illustrations in order to observe and understand how students understand the issue of diversity in the classroom. Interviews were also held with five teachers from the literacy cycle, an auxiliary class and one of the school¿s coordinators, located in the neighborhood of Mooca, east of the city of São Paulo. The data analysis has been made by social theory as it relates to diversity, intercultural and otherness and intercultural education. We conclude that it is essential that the school rethink its role to provide adequate socialization and learning of all students.

abstract: The purpose of this study was to: (1) record and describe a brief history of the life and career of Bolivian composer Dr. Nicolás Suárez Eyzaguirre, and (2) write an analysis from a vocal performer's perspective of Suárez's song cycle for soprano and piano, Monólogos del Desierto, with texts by Dr. Guillermo Mariaca Iturri. In August of 2013, I traveled to La Paz, Cochabamba, and Coroico, Bolivia, with translator Dr. Marie Cooper Hoffman for thirteen days in order to conduct interviews with Suárez, his family, his colleagues, his composition professors, and other professional musicians. In addition to both in-person and e-mail interviews, I reviewed television productions, videos, and newspaper/magazine articles that featured interviews with Suárez and/or reviews of his works. Also, I familiarized myself with Suárez's compositional style by performing a leading role in the 2011 world premiere of his opera El Compadre; collecting and listening to as many recordings of his works as I could find; and reading the transcript of Suárez's Doctor of Musical Arts Lecture Recital. For this study, I focused specifically on the compositional style of his three-song cycle Monólogos del Desierto. A performance of the work will be part of my defense of this paper. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Music 2015

The Brazil, seen today on the world stage as an emerging country, has been increasingly sought by immigrants in search of better living conditions. These are attracted to positive expectations and sighted here employment opportunities, acceptance, tolerance and life changing. However, the expected is not always true because, despite being a signatory to the main international human rights treaties and advances in the treatment of this subject, there are still several flaws in the management of migrants in our country. There are still commonplace cases of a large number of Bolivians, especially those who are undocumented, working in conditions analogous to slavery and suffering various types of human rights violations. There is thus the interest in understanding the Brazilian position as to face these degrading situations. The hypothesis in this paper is that it takes place due to several factors, among which we highlight the absence of targeted public policies and the inconsistency between theory and practice. In this way, it will be investigated the reasons for the absence in Brazil of a current Migration Act and its opposite position to ratify the UN Convention on the Rights of Migrant Workers and Their Families Protection. It will also be checked so that institutions and civil society act to protect these labor migrants. Finally, this study aims to bring the limits, challenges and advances that Brazil has to build a satisfactory migration policy. / Os fluxos migratórios são um fenômeno constante na história da humanidade, que são potencializados por diversos fatores, tais como a globalização e o complexo ciclo de crise econômico-financeira. O Brasil, visto hoje no cenário mundial como país emergente, tem sido cada vez mais procurado por imigrantes em busca de melhores condições de vida. Estes são atraídos por expectativas positivas e enxergam aqui oportunidades de emprego, acolhimento, tolerância e mudança de vida. Porém, nem sempre o esperado é concretizado, pois, apesar de ser signatário dos principais tratados internacionais de direitos humanos e dos avanços no trato deste assunto, ainda existem diversas falhas na gerência dos migrantes em nosso país. Ainda há casos corriqueiros de um grande contingente de bolivianos, principalmente os que se encontram em situação irregular, trabalhando em condições análogas à escravidão e sofrendo diversos tipos de violações de Direitos Humanos. Daí advém o interesse pela compreensão do posicionamento brasileiro quanto ao enfrentamento a estas situações degradantes. A hipótese levantada neste trabalho é a de que isto decorre devido a vários fatores, dentre eles, destacam-se a ausência de políticas públicas com viés de direitos humanos e a incoerência entre a teoria e a prática. Desta forma, serão averiguadas as razões da inexistência no Brasil de uma Lei de Migrações atualizada e do seu posicionamento contrário à ratificação da Convenção da ONU sobre a Proteção dos Direitos dos Trabalhadores Migrantes e Suas Famílias. Além disso, será verificada a maneira que as instituições e sociedade civil atuam para a proteção destes migrantes laborais. Ao final, este estudo pretende trazer os limites, desafios e avanços que o Brasil possui na construção de uma política migratória satisfatória.

abstract: In the last years of the twentieth century, while the narrative of women in other Latin American countries has received critical attention, Bolivian women's narrative has been widely ignored. The fact that the voice of Bolivian women in Latin American feminist discourse is rarely discussed in Latin American criticism is enough to justify the present study. This work focuses on three prominent Bolivian writers: Gaby Vallejos, Giovanna Rivero Santa Cruz, and Erika Bruzonic. The short stories of these three authors are characterized by accentuating certain telluric features revealed in the background of their feminine/feminist narratives. At the same time, based on the American and European feminist literary critique, this work analyzes the feminine/feminist themes mounted in the narrative of these authors. Gaby Vallejos, with a cinematic style, chronicles the life and customs of the "valluno" context, building a mosaic of different voices in dialogue. Her topics revolve around binaries: life-death, and pain and pleasure, voicing condemnation for a patriarchal society. Ericka Bruzonic deals with women and identity, memory and the breaking of lineage as an imposing structure. Her themes are built around the cosmopolitism of "paceña" urban life, and her voice transgresses the binomials established by a patriarchal society. Finally Giovanna Rivero Santa Cruz takes the life and customs of the Santa Cruz and the Guarani culture and her plots weave these elements reaching for myths and taboos, involving the reader into her stories. In this manner, her narrative makes an incursion into the conscious and unconscious realm of the readers questioning their wealth of moral and social values, their notions of heterosexuality, and sexual taboos. The three writers, with different narrative styles yet dialogical, narrate various experiences of women from different regions, social classes, ages, education, and sexual orientations. Our authors give high value to the word and the body embedded in the culture, thereby affirming their woman's voice as Bolivians and their literary presence in the context of Latin American literature. / Dissertation/Thesis / M.A. Spanish 2013

Cette thèse analyse le surgissement des Tacana, un groupe indien qui s’est formé il y a quelque vingt ans dans le nord de l’Amazonie bolivienne, au moment même où se mettaient en place un ensemble de réformes étatiques visant à construire un modèle de citoyenneté dans le respect de la diversité ethnique. L’apparition des Tacana est un évènement moderne et contemporain ; ses acteurs sont des descendants des gens qui arrivèrent dans cette région à la fin du XIXème siècle, venant de différents départements du pays, et qui fournirent la main-d’œuvre d’un système d’extraction forestière qui exploita d’abord le caoutchouc, et ensuite d’autres ressources de la forêt amazonienne. L’étude a ainsi pour toile de fond les interactions entre les travailleurs forestiers et les industriels qui contrôlent l’économie régionale. Ce phénomène de conversion ethnique est vu sous trois angles. On analyse la façon ! dont les travailleurs se sont approprié l’ethnonyme « Tacana » et l’ont utilisé pour se faire entendre et pouvoir profiter des réformes étatiques. On montre comment ils ont cherché à affirmer et à justifier leur existence en tant groupe spécifique au travers des recensements organisés par les organismes de l’État et par les instances internationales qui travaillent à la défense des droits indigènes. Enfin, la particularité de ce phénomène apparaît dans les actions collectives qu’ils ont entreprises dans le but de devenir propriétaires d’une aire territoriale indigène collective, ce qui était la raison fondamentale de leur choix de « devenir Indiens ». Par-delà le cas des Tacana, il est démontré que les politiques étatiques qui cherchent à gérer les différences ethniques ne sont pas le résultat de demandes sociales mais que, tout au contraire, ces demandes sont la conséquence de l’application de ce type de politiques. / This thesis studies the rise of the Tacana, an indigenous group formed in Bolivian Amazonia two decades ago, when different State reforms aimed at constructing a citizenship model based on respect for ethnic diversity. The emergence of the Tacana is a contemporary phenomenon involving part of the descendants of those groups who arrived in the region during the late 19th Century coming from different parts of the country. These people formed the labor force for a forest extraction system which initially exploited rubber but later extended its activities to other forest resources. Against this background, the situation has been analyzed in this study interms of the interactions between the forest laborers and the business management that controls the local economy. The thesis explores how, in this ethnic conversion process, forest laborers have used the “Tacana” identity to achieve visibility as well as benefit from the ethnic State reforms. The study shows how these laborers sought to justify their differential existence formally through census registrations made by State institutions which were backed up by international institutions involved in the defense of Indigenous Rights. The particularity of this process is also examined from the point of view of collective action undertaken by the new ethnic group to become the legal owners of a collective indigenous land –the primary factor that explains why they chose to become ethnic subjects. Our investigation shows that State policies that seek to manage ethnic differences are not triggered by social demands; rather, this sort of demand is a direct consequence of policy application.
