Abstract

LOPEZ ANDRADE, Adrián Raúl. Times encountered: colonization front and the judgment of the case of the Kichwa indigenous people of Sarayaku vs. Ecuador, 2012. E&c [online]. 2019, vol.2, n.9, pp.333-357. ISSN 2477-9245.  https://doi.org/10.37228/estado_comunes.v2.n9.2019.132.

The incorporation of the Ecuadorian Amazonian space into the national territory reveals an uneven, incomplete and fragmented process. The narratives constructed from the patriotic histories regarding their peripheries have reinforced the interpretive frameworks developed by urban centers, which has been functional to the logic of power imposed by the State. The displacement of the conflict and the resistance to institutionalized spaces of the national and international justice system has been well received as a possibility for the exercise and validity of collective rights. This research, however, questions its limits, from a historiographic analysis on the processes of incorporation of the Amazonian space to the national dynamics of the Ecuadorian State, which has contributed to an imaginary that recreates veiled forms of exclusion. To do so, it studies the 2012 judgment of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in the case of the Kichwa Indigenous People of Sarayaku v. Ecuador. It finds out how, by exception, this dynamic ratifies and reinforces state power as well as the expansion of its colonization front.
