This article analyses the disputes over images related to indigeneity and plurinationalism in the post-electoral crisis in Bolivia, focusing mainly on the realm of social media. It pays particular attention to how images such as memes, photographs, and videos produced and circulated by the movement for “democracy” opposed to Evo Morales and by sectors of the Right, project ideals of national unity based on racialised imaginaries that tend to obliterate references to plurinationalism. I also analyse the dichotomous ways in which multitudes and episodes of violence were represented by the two main sides in the conflict, such as the references to “mobs” and “hordes” versus “civic movements” and “resistance” respectively. I conclude by considering examples of promotional materials that the current interim government of President Jeanine Añez has developed since its inauguration, in order to reflect on the ways in which these display certain images of the “permitted Indian” for the national project that the social sector represented by her government is beginning to outline.

从 2019 年玻利维亚政治危机看土著、种族和媒体

本文分析了玻利维亚选举后危机中与土著和多民族主义有关的图像争议，主要集中在社交媒体领域。它特别关注由反对埃沃·莫拉莱斯的“民主”运动和右翼部门制作和传播的模因、照片和视频等图像如何基于倾向于抹杀参考的种族化想象来投射民族团结的理想到多民族主义。我还分析了冲突中两个主要方面代表大量暴力事件的二分法，例如分别提到“暴民”和“部落”与“公民运动”和“抵抗”。
