  • Gioconda Coello

摘要

This chapter explores the (hi)storying of “the rural” as a genre of being/living supposedly in need of “improvement/bettering” through education. The main source analyzed is Rubio Orbe’s 1966 “The rural Population of Ecuador” and the categories it built for people through images and text which were taken to be ontologies to be managed and improved by the government. Those same categories have been also taken by social movements to reclaim spaces of autonomy and respect to difference from the national government.
