description This article is the result of a larger study that investigates elements of the Kichwa cosmological system.The theme has been explored since the 80s from the so called perspectivist ontological turn that combinestheoretical models resulting from different ethnographic works with a common interest to proposealternatives to the traditional dualism between nature / culture. Based on an ethnographic methodologybased mainly on the perceptions of local people, the article aims to show descriptively how certaincultural markers: shamanism and body building, local mythic and territorial perception are retracted.From the data collected, it is concluded that said retraction is due to the attractiveness of modernityand its technologies, mainly towards the new generations. On the other hand we have the pause in thegenerational transfer of traditional knowledge. This is inserted in a particular socio-economic dynamicin a territory located outside the urban centers of modern development.

Este artículo es resultado de un estudio más amplio que indaga elementos del sistema cosmológicokichwa. La temática ha sido explorada desde la década de los 80 a partir del llamado giro ontológicoperspectivista que conjuga modelos teóricos resultado de diferentes trabajos etnográficos con un interéscomún por plantear alternativas al tradicional dualismo entre naturaleza/cultura. A partir de una metodología etnográfica basada principalmente en las percepciones de la gente local, el artículo tiene comoobjetivo evidenciar descriptivamente cómo ciertos marcadores culturales: chamanismo y construccióndel cuerpo, mítica local y percepción territorial son retractados. De los datos recolectados se concluyeque dicha retracción obedece a lo atractiva que se muestra la modernidad y sus tecnologías principalmentehacia las nuevas generaciones. Por otro lado, tenemos la pausa en el traspaso generacional deconocimientos tradicionales. Esto inserto en una particular dinámica socio económica en un territoriosituado al margen de los polos urbanos de desarrollo moderno.
