Análisis del proceso de institucionalización de la participación ciudadana en Ecuador
(2023) Pacheco Lupercio, Fernanda Lucía; Sucozhañay Calle, Dolores Catalina; Paño Yáñez, Pablo José
The extended constitutional process Ecuador has undergone since 2007 for the approval of its new Constitution and its subsequent application generated high expectations in the specific area of democratic development as the so-called citizen participation systems were implemented at the local level. This article offers a qualitative analysis based on documentary sources and infor-mation extracted from interviews and discussion groups with politicians, technicians and citi-zens, to understand the characteristics and achievements of the process of institutionalization of citizen participation and to assess its democratic quality. In spite of the good practices in the area of social participation, the results offer a scenario of highly institutionalized weak democ-racy, with little progress in terms of the direct and participatory democracy established in its Constitution.

Cuerpos políticos: los cuerpos de las mujeres en los repertorios de acción feminista en la ciudad de Cuenca-Ecuador
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2024-09-10) Palomeque Arias, Nataly Lorena; Pacheco Lupercio, Fernanda Lucía
The present thesis analyzes the ways in which the bodies of feminist women are part of the repertoires of collective action in the city of Cuenca-Ecuador; understanding that these constitute an expression of agency that, in this case, allows the struggle to achieve the objectives of feminist activists to be expressed. The repertoires of action are diverse and respond to an intergenerational feminism that is sustained through actions that are configured over time and from the body. This research, being descriptive, provides a perspective on the ways in which the body as a social being is part of the actions and through its capacity for agency allows demands to be positioned and influence a social reality. The research design is mixed qualitative, where the case study is combined, which contributes to the investigation, the construction of the case and the grounded theory as a strategy of inductive analysis, starting from the data for the creation of a substantive theory. The techniques used to obtain data were: interviews, both individual and group, and participant observation. Regarding the results obtained, an interpretation is offered on the relevance of the bodies of feminist women as repertoires of collective action, starting from understanding their corporality’s which cross the line of the physicality of the body and give meaning to the action, allowing us to understand the importance of emotions, their subjectivities and their own agency as factors that occur in and from the body.
Cuerpos, territorio y procesos de resistencia comunitarias rurales: Análisis de caso de las mujeres de la organización “Comunidades Ancestrales de San Joaquín” frente al proyecto hidroeléctrico Soldados-Yanuncay
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2023-06-07) Guichay Álvarez, María José; Pacheco Lupercio, Fernanda Lucía
This research focuses on analyzing how rural women from the "Comunidades Ancestrales de San Joaquín" organization construct community resistance against the Soldados-Yanuncay hydroelectric project located in the province of Azuay, Ecuador. The study uses an intersectional approach, which recognizes rural women as epistemological subjects, to explore their subjectivities, their participation in the organization, and their agency in community resistance through a mixed research design that combines case study and grounded theory. The techniques used to obtain qualitative data were open, semi-structured, and group interviews; participant observation; and memory encounters, framed within participatory action research methodologies. Regarding the findings, the relevance of rural women in community resistance processes has been theorized, not only to deepen the analyzed socio-environmental conflict but also to understand the influence of their subjectivities, including emotional, experiential, identity, and critical reflection aspects, for action and agency. This knowledge can have a significant impact on knowledge production, as it would contribute to future research that integrates a gender perspective in the analysis of social movements linked to infrastructure projects in rural environments promoted by the State.
La memoria colectiva en el Barrio El Vergel
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2025-02-18) Martínez Agredo, Fabián Camilo; Pacheco Lupercio, Fernanda Lucía
The city of Cuenca is home to various popular neighborhoods that constitute part of its cultural and historical wealth, with the “El Vergel” neighborhood being a clear example. This urban space is characterized by its variety of social and cultural elements, such as its relevance in identifying its traditional blacksmithing and gastronomy trades, the strong unity between its inhabitants, and its influential historical context in the city. Urban sociological studies have developed approaches to understanding the social dynamics that arise in cities and their sectors, including aspects of places of memory, neighborhood and collective memory, as well as the approach from popular culture. This study is part of the research project: “Implementation of the Recommendation on the Historic Urban Landscape: A methodology for the sustainable planning of the Ingachaca Urban Action Unit in the city of Cuenca,” which I joined for the development of this research. The study focuses on the analysis of how the inhabitants of this neighborhood build, maintain and transmit their neighborhood memory since it is important for the development of their identity and sense of belonging. The final degree work is carried out from a qualitative design, supported by open interviews, non- participant observation and the review of secondary documents. Finally, in view of the conglomerate of results collected, it was possible to show that the results found are developed from the places of memory, traditional trades, the Vergel festivals, its neighborhood organization, the pride of belonging to the neighborhood, family teaching as a transmission of memory, the generational conflict due to the lack of interest of young people and the process of building their memory from experiences, experience and meanings.
El movimiento barrial en la ciudad de Cuenca
(2019-07-19) Pacheco Lupercio, Fernanda Lucía; Paño Yáñez, Pablo José
The neighborhood movement in Cuenca" is an anthropological research whose objective is to interpret the practices and representations around the power of the neighborhood organizations, from the ethnography realized in the neighborhoods "Virgen de Fátima" and "Eloy Alfaro" of the Parish Yanuncay The reading about power in the context of neighborhood organizations is carried out in two dimensions: the first, inside the neighborhood associations, as constitutive instances of the neighborhood movement of the City of Cuenca; and, the second, to analyze the discourses and power relations that are established between said movement and the State. A characterization of the neighborhood organizations is presented, within the framework of the construction of subjectivity in the urban space, from which the production of identities, strategies and repertoires of the neighborhood movement is described; a reading on power and politics at a neighborhood scale is made, based on the exercise of neighborhood leaderships, and the construction of discourses and practices within the framework of political culture. Finally, the interaction codes between neighborhood organizations and the state are interpreted: neighborhood management, citizen participation and media demand; as well as an analysis of the perspectives of the neighborhood movement, from the story of their own actors.
Orden de género en la vida académica de los y las estudiantes en instituciones de educación superior. Un estudio de caso de la Facultad de Ingeniería en la Universidad de Cuenca periodo 2022-2023
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2023-03-09) Fajardo Tigre, Verónica Marisol; Palomeque Naula, Ana Cristina; Pacheco Lupercio, Fernanda Lucía
The objective of this degree work is to analyze how the gender order is produced and reproduced in the academic life of the student body of the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Cuenca in the academic period 2022-2023. The study corresponds to a qualitative approach, whose design corresponds to a descriptive case study in which the Faculty of Engineering was taken as a specific unit. The selected qualitative sample was of the combined type: intentional and snowball. As information collection techniques, semi-structured interviews were applied to male and female students from the fifth cycle onwards; a documentary review of the graduation papers presented by students in recent years was carried out; and, non-participant observation was developed at the Balzay and Central Campus. From the analysis of the information collected, it is concluded that the gender order is produced and reproduced in the Faculty of Engineering through the following mechanisms: symbolic restriction of the technical area for female students, gender discrimination within the classroom, control over the body of the students and normalization of inequalities. In the same way, the gender differentiation of the discourses, opportunities and limitations experienced by male and female students is identified. In addition, it is suggested that the students carry out strategies of resistance and adaptation in their training in the technical area, as a masculinized space.
Producción de capital social en el contexto de las organizaciones pro vida en la ciudad de Cuenca en el año 2019-2020: análisis de caso de la organización Impulso Joven
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2021-10-12) Sacaquirín García, Daniel Sebastián; Pacheco Lupercio, Fernanda Lucía
The objective of this research was to understand the dynamics of production and use of social capital in the Impulso Joven organization in the year 2019-2020. To meet this objective, firstly, I analyzed the construction of their identity and organizational values and then formed themselves as a symbolic resource to be mobilized. Second, analyze your social capital through the articulation of both material and symbolic resources that allowed the organization to consolidate. Finally, I established how the organization used its social capital to influence public policies regarding sexual and reproductive rights. To accomplish this task, I used the qualitative approach together with the methodological design of the case study: simple and holistic of the descriptive type. Consequently, the techniques used are the preferred ones of the case study model, which are the semi-structured interview, the documentary review and the non-participant observation. The results reveal that the construction of identity took place in the trainings, which meant a space for negotiation, reflection and optimization of identity to understand the reasons why they are a pro-life group. There, I found the relationship: the higher the level of training there is a greater identification. Then, the identity and the organizational values are symbolic resources that mobilized the efforts of the members so that there is internal cohesion and they can position themselves in the field of sexual and reproductive rights. On the other hand, the material resources show us that the Impulso Joven network is reduced exclusively to relationships with other pro-life groups and actors. However, these relationships provided our subject of study with sufficient resources to influence the spheres of the State. So, finally, at the agency level, we identified that Impulso Joven came to connect with groups that have the exercise of power
Puente “Vivas nos queremos”: un estudio sobre la toma y resignificación del espacio público en la ciudad de Cuenca-Ecuador
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2024-03-21) Pizarro Peña, Alexandra Marisol; Poma Chocho, Doménica Vanessa; Pacheco Lupercio, Fernanda Lucía
The following study aims to analyze how feminist organizations have redefined the "Vivas Nos Queremos" bridge as a space for struggle, mourning, and memory. This analysis covers the period from 2020 to 2023. The methodology employs a qualitative design that combines case study methods with grounded theory. The case study approach contributed to the selection and delimitation of the "Vivas nos Queremos" bridge as a study case due to its significance, social impact, and connection with important social issues, particularly in relation to feminist struggles. Grounded theory principles, as an analytical method, guided the construction of theorization regarding the redefinition of this urban space based on empirical data provided by participants. Data collection involved various techniques, including semi-structured interviews, non-participant observation, and documentary analysis. These data were systematized and analyzed with the assistance of the Atlas.Ti software. Findings theorize how the process of redefining the "Vivas nos Queremos" bridge is a political and dynamic process that represents a significant space for women. This space is crucial as it brings together dimensions of mourning, struggle, and memory. The feminist struggle transforms these public spaces into places where visible acts of resistance take place.
