QUISHPE LEMA, Cristóbal Lorenzo. Literature of the kichwa ethnic of Ecuador. Horizontes Rev. Inv. Cs. Edu. [online]. 2021, vol.5, n.20, pp.193-204. ISSN 2616-7964.  https://doi.org/10.33996/revistahorizontes.v5i20.264.

In the ancestral Kichwa communities of Ecuador, their rich ethno-literature, to date, has almost been limited to orality, due to the lack of concern for education, it appears as irremediably divided between two generally independent practices: writing and orality. The objective of this research was to analyze what happens to literature in the ancestral Kichwa communities of Ecuador and the scarce written production appears to be irretrievably split between two generally independent practices: writing and orality. The study was developed under the qualitative-interpretive paradigm. The results revealed that geoliterature and ethno-literature have as their purpose the study and analysis of the evolution of linguistic and ethno-literary expression through time and space. It was concluded that it is necessary to emphasize the fact that the ancestral Kichwa peoples of Ecuador are committed to decolonization not only from the socio-political sectors, but also from the artistic-literary sectors.
