Digression on the right-wing and new cultural elites in Ecuador

Abstract

This work reflects on how the field of action of the new Ecuadorian elites is not only attentive to the process of capital accumulation and political control over the State. But that, currently, they have extended to other territories that, formerly, were not part of their interest, that is, the cultural sphere. In this way, it is proposed that at present, the cultural field is also a geography in dispute by the younger elites of the country, who having the singularity of their formation -many of them outside Ecuador- and even when their projects are different, converge certain technocratic specificities. Likewise, the ways in which the elites understand the State and its actors are shown, based on certain documents and visual supports that are a way of showing themselves in the public sphere.
