| description | The extractivist political tendency, evident in Ecuador, has triggered diverse reactions from communities, activist groups, and civilians. Inhabitants express different positions regarding local realities. This article discusses the process of resistance that Intag has lived through for 25 years in opposition to metallic mining. This type of extractivism is linked to capitalism, and to the permanent struggle of the population in defense of their way of life. The contents are analyzed from Political Ecology, Post-structuralist, and Constructivist theory (Escobar, 1996; Gutiérrez 2006; Gupta, 2006; Gudynas, 2014). The ethnographic work was carried out in the Junín reserve. Local testimonies were collected on socio-environmental problems that families live through. The objective of the research is to highlight the problems that arise in the communities of Intag in the context of extractivism and community resistance which, amid the mining activity of certain mega projects, have given rise to the creation of the Intag Community Reserve. |

La tendencia política extractivista, evidente en el territorio ecuatoriano, ha desencadenado diversas reacciones por parte de las comunidades, grupos activistas y civiles. Los pobladores manifiestan posicionamientos diferentes respecto a realidades locales. El presente artículo hace un acercamiento al proceso de resistencia que Intag han vivido durante 25 años, en oposición a la minería metálica. Este tipo de extractivismo se encuentra ligado al capitalismo, y a la permanente lucha de la población en defensa de su modo de vida. Los contenidos son analizados desde la Ecología Política, la teoría Posestructuralista y Constructivista (Escobar, 1996; Gutiérrez 2006; Gupta, 2006; Gudynas, 2014). El trabajo etnográfico se realizó en la reserva de Junín. Se recopiló testimonios locales sobre la problemática socio-ambiental que atraviesan las familias. El objetivo de la investigación es poner en evidencia los problemas que se suscitan en las comunidades de Intag frente al extractivismo y la resistencia comunitaria que, en medio de la actividad minera de ciertos megaproyectos, ha logrado materializar la creación de la Reserva Comunitaria Intag.
