description The core of perspectivism –as the key assertion underlying this work– claims that social movements construct their own reality from their principles and program, and the resulting reality and discourses concern the set of everything that exists, from nature to technology including those strictly social elements. This view of perspectivism, however, will constitute a limited novelty, already seen in other processes. It is important to add –what is fundamental, that which is its essence in the strategic sense of the word– that the construction of such ontological perspective –and no only cognitive– is based on “devouring” the other culture, and the other civilization, with which it is confronted. Only then it will have a full sense of the diverse components of perspectivism that are analyzed here as structuring elements for social movements: performativity –that has been mentioned before– vincularity and aspectuality.Therefore, the central thesis is that when indigenous people live and narrate their experiences from their own perspective, they are not only representing themselves, but also effectively creating their cultures; they allow the emergence and the continuity of their ways of life. In this sense we move pass the thesis of Jose SanchezPraga, to move from recognition to the constitution of indigenous communities.

Perspectivismo indígena performatividad vincularidad forma de vida The core of perspectivism –as the key assertion underlying this work– claims that social movements construct their own reality from their principles and program, and the resulting reality and discourses concern the set of everything that exists, from nature to technology including those strictly social elements. This view of perspectivism, however, will constitute a limited novelty, already seen in other processes. It is important to add –what is fundamental, that which is its essence in the strategic sense of the word– that the construction of such ontological perspective –and no only cognitive– is based on “devouring” the other culture, and the other civilization, with which it is confronted. Only then it will have a full sense of the diverse components of perspectivism that are analyzed here as structuring elements for social movements: performativity –that has been mentioned before– vincularity and aspectuality.Therefore, the central thesis is that when indigenous people live and narrate their experiences from their own perspective, they are not only representing themselves, but also effectively creating their cultures; they allow the emergence and the continuity of their ways of life.

El núcleo del perspectivismo, como afirmación clave de este trabajo, sostiene que los movimientos sociales construyen su propia realidad desde sus principios y programa, y que esta realidad y discursos resultantes atañen al conjunto de todo lo existente, desde la naturaleza hasta la tecnología pasando por los aspectos estrictamente sociales. Sin embargo, este perspectivismo así visto constituiría una novedad bastante limitada y ya vista en otros procesos. Hay que añadir –lo que es fundamental, lo que es su esencia en el sentido estratégico de este término- es que la construcción de dicha perspectiva ontológica –y no solo cognoscitiva– se hace en base de “devorar” a la otra cultura, a la otra civilización, con la cual está confrontada. Solo así tendrá pleno sentido los diversos componentes del perspectivismo que se analizan aquí, como estructuradores de los movimientos sociales: performatividad –que ya ha sido señalada antes–, vincularidad y aspectualidad. De allí que la tesis central sea que cuando los indígenas viven y narran sus experiencias desde ellos mismos, no solo se están representando, sino que efectivamente crean sus culturas, permiten la emergencia y la continuidad de sus formas de vida. Y en este sentido avanzamos sobre las tesis de José Sánchez-Parga, para ir desde el reconocimiento a la constitución de las comunidades indígenas.  Universidad Politécnica Salesiana (Ecuador) 2015-06-30 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://universitas.ups.edu.ec/index.php/universitas/article/view/22.2015.01 10.17163/uni.n22.2015.01 Universitas; No. 22: (january-june 2015); 15-35 Universitas; Núm. 22: (enero-junio 2015); 15-35 1390-8634 1390-3837 10.17163/uni.n22 spa https://universitas.ups.edu.ec/index.php/universitas/article/view/22.2015.01/146 Derechos de autor 2015 Universidad Politénica Salesiana
