RODAS ARANO, Carla Virginia.   Free and without borders: two cases of indigenous territorial struggles, in the Chaco (Guarani community of Ivo), and the altiplano (the aymara marka of Curahuara de Carangas) of Bolivia within the framework of the current politics of good living.

Two cases of indigenous territorial struggles in Bolivia are analyzed (in the Guaraní communities ofIvo and Aymara communities of Curahuara de Carangas), which have their own characteristics according to their history, territorial and cultural construction, and the relationship of their members to the environment. These territo-ries have been constructed through different transformations: from the pre-colony, colony, republic, to the present Plurinational State ofBolivia. My purpose is to examine and compare these different processes, considering their particularities and a specific similarity: to preserve the indigenous community linked to its territory. It is demonstrated that, throughout history, both indigenous populations have developed strategies that implied territorial reconstructions, and which, to a certain extent, have allowed them to preserve their conception ofthe its territory.
