NAVARRO, Luciana Andrea. Una aproximación a la identidad boliviana. Trama comun. [online]. 2013, vol.17, n.2, pp.313-327. ISSN 1668-5628.

In this paper I intend to investigate how it is constructed in the discourse of the president of Bolivia, Evo Morales, the topic 'climate change' and the meanings assigned to them. This concern arose from observing the emergence of climate change issues as a major concern of the international community, and to inquire into the discourse of Morales, who postulates two opposing paths meet this problem: to save capitalism or life and Mother Earth. This question will allow me to make an initial approach to the construction of identity in Bolivia, from the new discursive dominances emerging with force since 2006 rescuing indigenous peoples and their values as pillars of the identity of the Bolivian people. The speeches were delivered to analyze between 2007 and 2010 under United Nations International Summit on climate change. The proposed approach will focus on an analysis of political discourse as performance practice that caters to all the speeches and that according to the problems of those who resort to split one or the other language arts and language and can operate with different theoretical and methodological perspectives (Arnoux, 2009).

Keywords : Climate change; Identity; Political discourse; Bolivia; Capitalism/Indigenous alterity.
