Uyuni, capital turística de Bolivia. Aproximaciones antropológicas a un fenómeno visual posmoderno desbordante
Résumé
Tourism is analyzed as a new economic agent in a city that is reconverted after a crisis. In this process, narratives and post-modern attitudes of tourists - centered on visuality and an exoticized craft-like idea- make it possible to understand the cultural processes in Uyuni and surrounding areas from an Eurocentric and essentialist point of view. As a strategy for local development, tourism has contributed in the construction of a static ethnicity and to a state of martyrdom and glorification of history as a narrative developed on the base of models induced by tourism.
