Zonas de paz y acogida, conflictos y movilización social: Ecuador octubre 2019

Abstract

This essay is of an analytical/interpretive type, and it is a narrative analysis based on the study of peace and humanitarian shelter zones. Its objective is to contribute to the visibility of care tasks as political actions that sustained the protest in the processes of social mobilization and resistance of October 2019. The structure of the work in the first part approaches a conceptual and methodological framework that allowed us to define and delimit the scope of the study. Methodologically, my direct involvement as an active part in the organization of aid groups during the days of the protest allowed the participant observation technique to become a tool of personal experience in the recovery of information. In a second moment, we describe and characterize the nature of the mobilization as part of the protest. In this context, the role played by the Peace and Humanitarian Shelter Zones and Care Tasks constitute the thread that runs through the narrative.
