This article explores the legacy of Jorge Sanjinés' cinema in current Latin American cinematography, specifically in Bolivia. The central idea argues that despite the favourable political situation Bolivia is at the present experiencing, with the arrival of Evo Morales to the Presidency in the year 2006, the declaration of Bolivia as a multinational State, and the growing prominence of aymaras and quechuas in the national political arena, indigenous film as envisioned by Sanjinés has not been fully developed. The article puts forward the difficulties which the national and international film industry face in incorporating a type of film that does not respond to the expectations of a mainstream public, makes no concessions to the Western viewer, and provides no cultural filters to pave the viewer's understanding and persuade him or her cinematically. ; Este artículo explora la herencia del cine de Jorge Sanjinés en el cine latinoamericano actual y muy específicamente en el boliviano. La idea central argumenta que a pesar de la favorable coyuntura política que vive Bolivia con la llegada de Evo Morales a la presidencia en el año 2006, la declaración de Bolivia como un Estado plurinacional y el creciente protagonismo de aymaras y quechuas en la esfera política nacional, el cine indígena, como lo vislumbró Sanjinés, no se ha desarrollado lo suficiente. El artículo plantea la dificultad de lograr que la industria cinematográfica nacional e internacional sea capaz de incorporar un tipo de películas que no responde a las expectativas de un público convencional más o menos mayoritario, que no hace concesiones al espectador occidental ni recurre a los filtros necesarios para allanar su comprensión y persuadirle cinemato- gráficamente.

AbstractThis article attempts to explore the relationship between social change and literature in present‐day Peru. It argues that the emergence of new fiction‐writers and poets from large social sectors historically marginalised from Peruvian public life is part of a dramatic process of social change by which these sectors are gaining an important role in the transformation of their society. The article concludes that the work of these new writers reflects their search for a distinctive independent expression which mirrors their origins and their attitude towards their surrounding world.
