This paper applies literary criticism to a cultural phenomenon of the 1930s and re-projects such criticism to the extra-literary present in order to provide alternative routes for the understanding of a possible “nuova Bolivian culture.” Against the sociological, historical, ethnological, and/or pedagogical analysis that until now have framed the study of Warisata’s Escuela- Ayllu, this work is, first of all, an invitation to discuss Bolivian politics from the specific angle of a discipline different from that of the social sciences. This is nothing more than a first outline of possible discursive bonds between some artistic works of Warisata and Evo Morales’ education reform program. 

Este trabajo aplica las pautas metodológicas de la crítica literaria a un fenómeno cultural de los años 1930 y las re-proyecta al presente extraliterario con el propósito de abrir una vía alternativa para el entendimiento de las bases de una posible “nuova cultura” boliviana. Frente a los análisis sociológicos, históricos, etnológicos, pedagógicos, etc., que hasta ahora se han hecho sobre la Escuela-Ayllu de Warisata, este trabajo es ante todo una invitación a discutir la política boliviana desde el ángulo específico de una disciplina distinta a las ciencias sociales. El texto presente no es más que un primer esbozo de los posibles vínculos discursivos entre algunas obras artísticas de Warisata y el proyecto educativo-estatal de Evo Morales.
