Lecturas decoloniales de narrativas queer: La productiva vinculación del pasado arqueológico con el activismo en los Andes
Este artículo tuvo como finalidad la revisión de elementos narrativos, textuales o no, del mundo andino ancestral. Estos, presentes en la materialidad pretérita como las figurillas arqueológicas, o en textos coloniales, dejan entrever conceptos y relaciones de género y sexualidad que, mayoritariamente y sin perspectiva crítica, han sido «traducidos» desde una ideología historiográfica cerrada a la posibilidad de la diversidad sexual en pasado y p…

Cracking the Capitalist Code: Archaeology, Resistance and the Historical Present in Ecuador
El pasado es el presente: La Educación Como Práctica De Libertad
Tomando como punto de partida la exposición arqueológica diverso. "Facetas del género en el Ecuador prehispánico”, planteamos que la praxis de educación problematizante mediante el método dialógico puede articular espacios como universidades, museos y colectivos activistas, y desencadenar pasos reales hacia una arqueología pública. Además, en el presente artículo, proponemos cómo las reflexiones de Paulo Freire sobre la educación como práctica de…
Dignifying and Decolonizing Queer Histories in Ecuador: In the fight for LGBTQI+ rights and reparations, undoing centuries of transphobia calls for uplifting pre-colonial gender and sexual diversity
Purita Pelayo in her home, 2017. (PURITA PELAYO ARCHIVE)Purita speaks confidently with a slow pace and firm tone. Her voice is neither too loud nor too soft, and she keeps eye contact. Despite the

History, Capitalism, and Postcolonial Identities: Notes on Archaeologies of the Future
In the last four decades there have been critical interventions in archaeology that have engaged the issues of politics, class, and colonialism within the production of the past. A concern in this endeavor has been the role that time has played in the chronological ordering of historical narratives. This article contributes to these debates by assessing narratives of archaeologies of the future, particularly as they have been expressed in Western…

Drugs, Thugs, and Divas: Telenovelas and Narco-Dramas in Latin America
Soap opera speaks a universal language, presenting characters and plots that resonate far beyond the culture that creates them. Latin American soap operas—telenovelas—have found enthusiastic audiences throughout the Americas and Europe, as well as in Egypt, Russia, and China, while Mexican narco-dramas have become highly popular among Latinos in the United States. In this first comprehensive analysis of telenovelas and narco-dramas, Hugo Benavide…

The Politics of Sentiment: Imagining and Remembering Guayaquil
Between 1890 and 1930, the port city of Guayaquil, Ecuador, experienced a liberal revolution and a worker's movement-key elements in shaping the Ecuadorian national identity. In this book, O. Hugo Benavides examines these and other pivotal features in shaping Guayaquilean identity and immigrant identity formation in general in transnational communities such as those found in New York City. Turn-of-the-century Ecuador witnessed an intriguing combi…

Making Ecuadorian Histories: Four Centuries of Defining Power
In Ecuador, as in all countries, archaeology and history play fundamental roles in defining national identity. Connecting with the prehistoric and historic pasts gives the modern state legitimacy and power. But the state is not the only actor that lays claim to the country's archaeological patrimony, nor is its official history the only version of the story. Indigenous peoples are increasingly drawing on the past to claim their rights and standin…
Anthropology's Native 'Conundrum: Uneven Histories and Developments
This article assesses the global implications and structural limitations inherent in the history/identity production of traditionally oppressed Indian communities in the Ecuadorian Andes. This particular engagement of history is closely linked with development, since this paradigm profoundly structures all interactions between North-South global communities and nation-states. In this regard it is impossible to research historical exigencies witho…

The Representation of Guayaquil's Sexual Past: Historicizing the Enchaquirados
The article assesses the role played by the enchaquirados in the historical reconstruction of Guayaquil's sexual past. In this regard, the alternative reading of this pre‐Hispanic homosexual harem of boys questions the city's traditionally heterosexist history; however, rather than simply blaming official historiography and pretending to offer some new historical truth, the present contribution looks to interrogate the inherent problematics of hi…
Returning to the Source: Social Archaeology as Latin American Philosophy
The following article proposes reconsidering the social archaeology paradigm as a worthwhile school of thought within Latin American philosophy. Rather than critiquing social archaeology for its supposed methodological limitations, I argue that this Latin American approach has already had an enormous contribution to the anthropological and political thought of the region. Instead of assuming that archaeology is a neutral enterprise, social archae…
