Abstract
Este artículo explora el papel de los intelectuales en el escenario de las estrategias
políticas de la Bolivia contemporánea. El propósito es mostrar tanto las características
que los hacen piezas estratégicas de la política como los constreñimientos que se
ciernen sobre su práctica y rol. Para ello, se asume una perspectiva biográfica
tomando los casos icónicos de los vicepresidentes Carlos Mesa Gisbert y Álvaro
García Linera. Estos actores, situados en antípodas ideológicas y protagonistas de
dos momentos de signo político diferente, enfrentan condicionamientos similares en
cuanto a la producción del discurso. De manera simultánea se muestra cómo los
cambios en el proceso hegemónico los lleva a ajustar su discurso en relación a las
transformaciones del contexto.
This paper adressess the role of the intellectuals in the political struggle that characterizes the most recent period of bolivian history. The main purpose is to show that intellectuals play a strategic function while constrained by the raw logic of the political power that is imposed over its practice. Using the biographical method, this paper takes two of the most prominent intellectuals of the last years: Carlos Mesa Gisbert and Álvaro García Linera. Nevertheless both academics have been in opposed parties and in several occasions they polemicized with each other; however, it is possible to describe the influence of the same structural constraints that affects the production of their respective discourses. At the same time it is shown that the hegemonic process forces the modification of the discourses in order to better adjust to the volatile political context.
