Abstract

This academic article proposes to make visible the communicative identity practices of the inhabitants of the parish of Tumbaco through an ethnographic approach, for which we use interviews and participant observation, as methodological techniques to get involved with the inhabitants of the parish of Tumbaco and thus, to demonstrate the identity communicative practices that have developed under a close relationship to the urban: markets, fairs, sports fields, squares, where the identity practices (culinary, oral, dance, music and digital environments) remain as symbolism and own identity of the tumbaqueños that recreate communicative bonds of longing and desire of coexistence that denote affectivity, companionship, solidarity and neighborhood. Particularly the communicative identity practice of orality persists in the yearning of the oldest residents of the parish, who in contrast to modernity convey their identity. And more deeply the personification of the muleteers who communicates a spirit of struggle, tenacity, knowledge, strength and resistance in its inhabitants. Allowing concluding that orality, muleteers, dance, music, digital environments and are culinary. They are still alive in the social memory of its inhabitants and reproduce in an environment contrasted with the globalization, urbanization and modernization of Ecuadorian peoples.
