Abstract
Talking or referring to citizenship in today's world involves some conjectures and common senses.. It is an issue that is deployed in the political, cultural, symbolic and social strata. We would even say that it has become the legitimate mortar of governmental regimes in recent years. However, there is something underlying this notion, something that escapes the very understanding of politics and is its own statement, on the one hand, semantic and, on the other, pragmatic. That is to say, the concept implies a journey, in order to better delimit, from modernity, configured in the creation of the nation-states, their subsequent development and in republican societies.
However, citizenship was not always present in political languages and linguistic expressions, as performativities that erect acts, materialities and formalizations. There were certain periods, for example, when the notion of people was the expression on which a series of mechanisms and institutions were established, and at the same time, subjects that tensed the ways of questioning or sustaining a type of order. Whether in the form of liberalism or conservatism at the end of the nineteenth century, and in the twentieth century, grouped in socialism. All three types of nomenclatures and systems have appealed to the idea of the people, as language and corporeality.
However, what happens when the people become obliterated by another conceptual notion? What kind of operations are set in motion to defenestrate it and exhibit it, as part of the past, as a kind of expression of atavisms, disorder and archaisms? How does citizenship (re) appear in Ecuador, first as a determinant of mobilizing processes, and later, as a governmental and administrative axis of rules and laws in the twenty-first century?
To resolve these questions, this paper studied the (re)emergence of the concept of citizenship based on two events. The first was the fall of Lucio Gutiérrez in 2005 and the second was the approval of the Magna Carta in the Constituent Assembly in 2008. These two events are linked in a Siamese way by the citizen emergency, which outlined a whole normative-representative path on new and traditional social movements. Thus, the debate between new and traditional social movements problematized a horizon of understanding about the primacy of citizenship. However, this edge elides something extremely vital, and that is the very conceptual dynamics and political languages with which citizenship vindicates its importance.
In this perspective, the discursive and conceptual geographies of this expression have been little addressed in the Ecuadorian academic literature. Therefore, explaining the (re)emergence of the concept of citizenship, its environs, its disjunctions and disciplines on other sectors considered traditional, would express the possible answer to understand the genealogy of one of the most important political processes of recent times, such as the Citizen Revolution. In this line, the objective was to see how the concept of citizenship was not thought in a deep way, but rather it was randomly imbricated in the guilds, political parties, unions and social movements of the left, being accepted in an uncritical way to modernize the political culture. However, the circulation of ideas and conceptual debates on this term was not collected by academic texts, but it was the written press who disseminated it and picked up the ways in which it was being established in progressive and conservative actors, to question the traditional sectors, as rudiments of the past.
Finally, this movement of the concept conveyed by the Ecuadorian press, culminated not only with the construction of a Constituent text, but this reaffirmed and converted a type of citizenship in tutelage, which regulated and controlled the subjects that did not enter it, through forms of infantilization and displacement to the world of irrationality. Consequently, analyzing this concept in the heat of two recent events, through discourses and languages, opens other perspectives of study, debates and reflections.
