Indigenous movements of ecuador: Between collective action and connective action

Abstract:

This article analyzes the impact of the connective action of indigenous movements by studying the content generated in the web 2.0 of organizations and the press in Ecuador during the social protest of October 2019, as a consequence of the economic measures implemented by the government of President Lenin Moreno. For this purpose, qualitative research techniques such as observation sheets, interviews, KhosraviNik's textual analysis, and (axiological) content analysis were used. It is concluded that connective action decolonizes the dominant opinion of the hegemonic media and generates discursive solidarity that reinforces collective action.
