Symbolic Inversion, the Topology of El Mestizaje, and the Spaces of Las Razas in Ecuador
Abstract
La met´fora de la topología étnica se presta para una discusión de las inversiones simbólicas que cuestionan las dimensiones dominantes de la ideología hegemónica del mestizaje, la mezcla de un cuerpo social nacional de ecuatorianos. El enfoque está sobre espacios sociopoliticos selectos donde los conceptos de la raza sobresalen en ciertos contextos y escenarios. El mestizaje ideológico y sus multiples inversiones estín vinculados con los cambios en el poder estructural que nacen de la acción social motivada por el simbolismo. La din´mica de las inversiones simbólicas es fundamental para la política y la poe'tica de la identidad local que contribuyen a la tranformación de las representaciones colectivas. Estas representaciones, a la vez, pueden motivar a los movimientos sociales. Este artículo explica los contrastes entre los metatropos del mestizaje y del multiculturalismo.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
