Abstract [en]

This text problematizes the perceptions and visions held by leading spokespersons of the indigenous movement regarding the challenges and dilemmas related to the advancement of the Plurinational State and the intercultural society in post-2008 Ecuador. From a constructivist viewpoint, the study emphasizes that different factions of the indigenous movement nurture varying connotations of the tension-ridden plurinationality-interculturality nexus, depending on their historical relationship with the territory and the nature of their ethnocultural identity. Theoretically drawing on theories of deliberative democracy and indigeneity-territoriality, the article constitutes a synthesis of previous debates on the subject, backed up by years of ethnographic work in the field. A central finding indicates a relative consensus that Plurinational Ecuador must be built on inclusion and cross-ethnic co-operation. However, according to the interviewees, harmonious interculturality will not materialize without the grassroots-led practical implementation of the Plurinational State.

Abstract [es]

En este texto se problematizan las percepciones y visiones de los voceros del movimiento indígena respecto a los desafíos y dilemas relacionados con el avance del Estado Plurinacional y la sociedad intercultural en el Ecuador post-2008. Con una aproximación constructivista, el estudio destaca que diferentes facciones del movimiento alimentan diversas connotaciones sobre el nexo complejo de plurinacionalidad-interculturalidad, dependiendo de su relación histórica con el territorio y la naturaleza de su identidad étnico-cultural. Teóricamente basándose en teorías de la democracia deliberativa y la indigeneidad-territorialidad, el artículo constituye una síntesis de debates anteriores sobre el tema, respaldado por años de trabajo etnográfico. Un hallazgo central indica un consenso relativo de que el Ecuador Plurinacional debe basarse en la inclusión y la cooperación interétnica. Sin embargo, según los entrevistados, la interculturalidad armoniosa no se materializará sin la implementación práctica del Estado Plurinacional desde las bases.
