| dc.description.abstract | The neighborhood movement in Cuenca" is an anthropological research whose objective is to interpret the practices and representations around the power of the neighborhood organizations, from the ethnography realized in the neighborhoods "Virgen de Fátima" and "Eloy Alfaro" of the Parish Yanuncay The reading about power in the context of neighborhood organizations is carried out in two dimensions: the first, inside the neighborhood associations, as constitutive instances of the neighborhood movement of the City of Cuenca; and, the second, to analyze the discourses and power relations that are established between said movement and the State. A characterization of the neighborhood organizations is presented, within the framework of the construction of subjectivity in the urban space, from which the production of identities, strategies and repertoires of the neighborhood movement is described; a reading on power and politics at a neighborhood scale is made, based on the exercise of neighborhood leaderships, and the construction of discourses and practices within the framework of political culture. Finally, the interaction codes between neighborhood organizations and the state are interpreted: neighborhood management, citizen participation and media demand; as well as an analysis of the perspectives of the neighborhood movement, from the story of their own actors. | |
