The Minga as a communicative Practice that Guides the Social Transformation of the Indigenous People of Chimborazo, Ecuador

Abstract

Este artículo reflexiona la forma en la que la minga como práctica comunicativa permite la transformación de la realidad -en conjunto- de los habitantes de las parroquias Tixán y Totorillas, provincia de Chimborazo Ecuador. Es un estudio cualitativo que utiliza para la recogida de la información la etnografía y la observación. Entre los resultados obtenidos pudo concluirse que posibilita la acción comunitaria, la reflexión frente a una problemática, una eficiente toma de decisiones que permita intervenir colectivamente la realidad, y en especial, la interacción convertida en generadora de cambio social.This article reflects on the way in which the minga as a communicative practice allows the transformation of the reality -as a whole- of the inhabitants of the Tixán and Totorillas parishes, province of Chimborazo Ecuador.
