Abstract [en]

This text problematizes the perceptions and visions held by leading spokespersonsof the indigenous movement regarding the challenges and dilemmas related to the advancement ofthe Plurinational State and the intercultural society in post-2008 Ecuador. From a constructivistviewpoint, the study emphasizes that different factions of the indigenous movement nurturevarying connotations of the tension-ridden plurinationality-interculturality nexus, depending ontheir historical relationship with the territory and the nature of their ethnocultural identity.Theoretically drawing on theories of deliberative democracy and indigeneity-territoriality, thearticle constitutes a synthesis of previous debates on the subject, backed up by years ofethnographic work in the field. A central finding indicates a relative consensus that PlurinationalEcuador must be built on inclusion and cross-ethnic co-operation. However, according to theinterviewees, harmonious interculturality will not materialize without the grassroots-led practicalimplementation of the Plurinational State.

Abstract [es]

En este texto se problematizan las percepciones y visiones de los voceros delmovimiento indígena respecto a los desafíos y dilemas relacionados con el avance del EstadoPlurinacional y la sociedad intercultural en el Ecuador post-2008. Con una aproximaciónconstructivista, el estudio destaca que diferentes facciones del movimiento alimentan diversasconnotaciones sobre el nexo complejo de plurinacionalidad-interculturalidad, dependiendo de surelación histórica con el territorio y la naturaleza de su identidad étnico-cultural. Teóricamentebasándose en teorías de la democracia deliberativa y la indigeneidad-territorialidad, el artículoconstituye una síntesis de debates anteriores sobre el tema, respaldado por años de trabajoetnográfico. Un hallazgo central indica un consenso relativo de que el Ecuador Plurinacional debebasarse en la inclusión y la cooperación interétnica. Sin embargo, según los entrevistados, lainterculturalidad armoniosa no se materializará sin la implementación práctica del EstadoPlurinacional desde las bases.
