The same historical documentation that provides evidence for the reasons why the Puquina language disappeared, also provides linguistic information which, in combination with archaeological studies, allows us to interpret its history in the period prior to the Inca conquest of Collasuyu, as well as during the time under Incas domination. Using the method of regressive history, and making use of various disciplines (history, archaeology, linguistics), this paper proposes an interpretation of the history of the last Puquina-speakers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents an analysis of the political violence brought about by abuse of power and military revolutions in La Paz, Bolivia during the mid-19th century. It focuses on the Loreto Massacre in which approximately 55 political prisoners and followers of ex presidents Manuel Isidoro Belzu and Jorge Córdova were assassinated. The aim of the paper is to investigate the processes of legitimization and de-legitimization as carried out through violence by politicians against the general public. The article concludes with a discussion on state institutionalization as it was influenced by civic and political violence.
