DIAZ SALAZAR, Holger Rodrigo. Dialectics of plurinationality as criticism of the state-nation liberal. Sophia [online]. 2018, n.25, pp.287-320. ISSN 1390-8626.  https://doi.org/10.17163/soph.n25.2018.10.

The article studies the dialectic as a way of investigating the plurinationality and its counterpart the ancient Ecuadorian monoethnic nation-state. Find out: 1) what is the ontological foundation of plurinationality? and 2) why does plurinationality as a socio-political approach deny the homogeneity of the liberal nation-state and its correlate external-internal colonialism? It is argued that the ontological foundation of plurinationality is found in the community society (or social being) and that in its socio-political praxis it denies the fetishization of the liberal nation-state, determined as an instrument of the external-internal colonialism of society. The research conceives and applies the dialectical analysis of concrete reality and the law of universal contradiction, as inherent in the social being and the thought that reflects that reality. The study concludes that: 1) the dialectic comprises the category of totality and is useful for the analysis and explanation of society as a whole, from the parts to the whole and from the whole to the parts, in mutual universal interrelation; 2) the community society is an ontological objectification of plurinationality and manifests itself in the ethnic-cultural diversity of Ecuador, with different historical temporalities, and in opposition to the colonial and republican economic-social formation; and 3) the fetishization of the liberal nation-state as an instrument of external and internal colonialism of Ecuadorian society is still in force and continues to fulfill that same function through the processing of the coloniality of power, the ontological invisibility of the other (alter) and the racist colonial differentiation.
