Resumen
This paper is an analysis of the implications of “modernity” and its entrance into La Paz’s urban space together with its relationship with the configuration of indigenous identities and stories in the early twentieth century. It focuses on the interconnection between the discourses of modernity, civilization and progress with physical, urban operations. Aspects to be considered are based on an analysis of the opening of La Paz spaces and its influence on the specialization of public spaces, the staging of bodies in these spaces and the hierarchy, regulation and practices of the same, starting from the incorporation of new means of transport and the construction of roads.
