In this project, the researcher will analyze the production and circulation of indigenous videos in Bolivia to understand how indigenous people organize politically and develop their expectations of the Bolivian state. In the highly contested arena of Bolivian politics, videos produced by native people bring attention to what they see as relevant, necessary, possible, imaginable, or desirable. This research builds on recent anthropology about the limitations of resistance in the context of class, gender and race, by looking at the state through local political and cultural practices. In twelve months of ethnographic work, the researcher will analyze how indigenous visual media contribute to imagining different relationships to the Bolivian state. The research will include examining the history of indigenous video production in Bolivia and its relationship to the history of indigenous movements; participant observation of video production and circulation; interviews with producers, trainers and audiences; and visual analyses of videos. One important focus of this work will be on political language in both documentary and fictional videos, noting how indigenous media makers situate themselves in relation to national culture and the state. This research adds to academic and political efforts to understand the historical conditions of underrepresented groups and to strengthen their visibility. In addition to the normal scholarly outlets, the researcher plans two main forms of broadly disseminating the results: (1) a workshop with indigenous communicators; and (2) an interactive cd-rom with extracts of the research process and results for public dissemination in both Spanish and English.

在该项目中，研究人员将分析玻利维亚土著视频的生产和流通，以了解土著人如何在政治上组织并发展对玻利维亚国家的期望。 在玻利维亚政治的竞争激烈的舞台上，土著人制作的视频引起了他们所认为的相关，必要，可能，可以想象或可取的视频。这项研究以阶级，性别和种族背景下的抵抗局限性，通过当地的政治和文化实践来研究国家的局限性为基础。 在十二个月的人种学工作中，研究人员将分析土著视觉媒体如何促进与玻利维亚国家不同的关系。该研究将包括研究玻利维亚的土著视频制作的历史及其与土著运动历史的关系；参与者观察视频制作和流通；与制片人，培训师和观众的访谈；和视频的视觉分析。 这项工作的一个重要重点将是纪录片和虚构视频中的政治语言，并指出土著媒体制造商如何将自己与民族文化和国家有关。 这项研究增加了学术和政治努力，以了解代表性不足的群体的历史条件并加强其知名度。除了正常的学术渠道外，研究人员还计划了两种主要传播结果的主要形式：（1）与土著交流者的研讨会； （2）互动的CD-ROM，带有研究过程的摘录，并在西班牙语和英语中均以公共传播结果进行公共传播。
