Sumario: | The article’s main objective is to contest the layered hegemonic narrative accu- mulations that have been traditionally used to define an Ecuadorian national identity. Through the analysis of three distinct national narratives (literary, musical and of identity) I propose more autonomous and transgressive ways of representing ourselves within the national body. Further, the article also seeks to assess the relationship between territorial extractivism and the racist and femicide violence that is exerted upon our bodies. Ultimately the text argues that the fight against territorial and corporal extractivism should be one of the primary objectives of any social, academic and/or artistic contribution.
