description This article analyses the relations between politics and society during the so-called citizen’s revolution in Ecuador. Drawing on ethnographic research focused on political brokerage or the ‘art of serving’, the article analyses the particularities of political work by analysing the linkages and tensions that are constructed between the population of a suburb of the city of Guayaquil, the members of the governing political party of the Citizen’s Revolution, Movimiento Patria Altiva i Soberana (Alianza PAIS) and State functionaries. Meetings of political socialization and sectorial events- understood as institutional rituals- are taken as scenes in which to observe the interactions and the public performance of the protagonists of the pre-dominant political party in contemporary Ecuador.

Este artículo analiza las relaciones que se instituyen entre sociedad y política en el contexto de la denominada revolución ciudadana en Ecuador. A través del estudio etnográfico de la práctica de la intermediación o arte de servir, el texto propone comprender la especificidad del trabajo político, los vínculos y las tensiones que se construyen entre los habitantes del suburbio de la ciudad de Guayaquil, los miembros de Movimiento Patria Altiva i Soberana (PAIS) y los funcionarios del Estado. Las reuniones de socialización política y las ferias sectoriales –como rituales de institución– son los escenarios seleccionados para observar las interacciones y la performance pública de los actores protagónicos del actual régimen de predominio político en Ecuador.
