Tutsá: space, identity and emotions in the origin of the Chachi nationality, Ecuador

Sammendrag

The present work is the result of transdisciplinary research between anthropology and psychology with an epistemological basis, based on southern epistemologies, and with the methodological approach of participatory action research (PAR). The fundamental objective is to provide an interpretive understanding of the origin myth of the Chachi people based on discursive analysis, with an explanatory sense of symbolic signifiers. The analysis includes historical and cultural factors for which concepts and approaches from both psychology and anthropology are used to propose a theoretical transversality that encompasses the methodological field.
