This is carried out by revisiting commemoration practices and speeches deployed by the so-called “Cultural and Democratic Revolution” during the country’s celebrations which took place on May 25, 2009 in El Villar (bicentennial of the “Revolution of Chuquisaca”) and on July 16, 2009 in La Paz (bicentennial of the Junta Tuitiva revolutionary government).
