          Abstract

          A partir de la categoría teórica de la figuración estética, el autor reflexiona sobre la novela costumbrista boliviana La Chaskañawi, de Carlos Medinaceli, indagando en los elementos que le otorgarían su estatuto literario específico, detrás o más allá de su condición convencional de documento realista a la que se acercan normalmente los análisis sociológicos o históricos. En tal sentido, este ensayo postula que la novela de Medinaceli no es tan objetiva como parece, y que en ella se enquistan figuras salvajes y retornos al estado de naturaleza que, ocultos y silenciosos, no se adaptan mansamente al ascenso pujante del cholaje. Revelarlos es la tarea principal del ensayo.

          Translated abstract

          Starting with the theoretical category of 'aesthetic figuration', the author rethinks "costumbrismo", the literary interpretation of local customs, searching for the elements that would characterize La Chaskañawi, Carlos Medinaceli's well-known novel, beyond its traditional historical and sociological characterization as a realistic piece of art. To the contrary, and thinking against the grain, this essay affirms that the novel is not as "objective" as it seems, and that behind its rather straightforward plot European savages haunt the apparently progressive content of the novel, thus problematizing the rise of the Bolivian novel of mores.
