description From the creation and dissolution of two peasant communities in Nono, a rural parish of Quito, this article reflects on the political and economic role assigned to peasant and indigenous communities in the Ecuadorian Constitution of 2008 and in the Law of the Popular and Solidarity Economy. In the article, the notion of community is read critically as it maintains that communities are not essential attributes of peasants, indigenous peoples, or popular sectors, but rather the result of possible political arrangements and negotiations put forth by those who comprise communities. Debates over community are covered and the academic and political values community can have in Ecuador today are analyzed.

From the creation and dissolution of two peasant communities in Nono, a rural parish of Quito, this article reflects on the political and economic role assigned to peasant and indigenous communities in the Ecuadorian Constitution of 2008 and in the Law of the Popular and Solidarity Economy. In the article, the notion of community is read critically as it maintains that communities are not essential attributes of peasants, indigenous peoples, or popular sectors, but rather the result of possible political arrangements and negotiations put forth by those who comprise communities. Debates over community are covered and the academic and political values community can have in Ecuador today are analyzed. A partir de la creación y disolución de dos comunidades campesinas de Nono, una parroquia rural de Quito, el artículo reflexiona sobre el papel político y económico asignado a las comunidades campesinas e indígenas en la Constitución del Ecuador de 2008 y en la Ley de Economía Popular y Solidaria. En el artículo se lee críticamente la noción de comunidad, al tiempo que se sostiene que las comunidades no son atributos esenciales de los campesinos, los indígenas o los sectores populares, sino el resultado de posibles arreglos y negociaciones políticas adelantadas por quienes las componen. Se recogen debates sobre la comunidad y se analiza el valor académico y político que puede tener en el Ecuador de hoy.
