Abstract
La presente investigación doctoral analiza el rol de la red social X como un artefacto sociotécnico en la movilización indígena de junio de 2022 en Ecuador. Este estudio aborda cómo las dinámicas digitales y sociales interactúan para configurar narrativas, organizar acciones y legitimar demandas en un contexto de protesta social. A través de un enfoque metodológico mixto, se combinaron técnicas cuantitativas, como el Análisis de Redes Sociales (ARS) mediante herramientas como TweetBinder y NodeXL, con métodos cualitativos, como entrevistas semiestructuradas y análisis de contenido. Se recopilaron y analizaron 9.991 tuits, además de 154 posts emitidos desde la cuenta oficial de la CONAIE (@CONAIE_Ecuador), identificando patrones de interacción, nodos clave y tendencias discursivas. A partir del marco conceptual que integra el análisis sociotécnico, el ciberactivismo, la comunicación para el cambio social y la teoría de los movimientos sociales, esta investigación explica el papel estratégico de la red social X en la movilización social del movimiento indígena. Los hallazgos muestran cómo X facilitó la construcción de una red sociotécnica en la que interactuaron actores humanos (líderes, seguidores, opositores) y no humanos (plataforma digital, hashtags, contenido multimedia). Estas interacciones configuraron y amplificaron las dinámicas de movilización, consolidando a X no solo como un canal de comunicación, sino como un ensamblaje sociotécnico que conecta actores diversos y reconfigura relaciones de poder en contextos de protesta...
This doctoral research analyzes the role of the social network X as a sociotechnical artifact in the indigenous mobilization of June 2022 in Ecuador. This study examines how digital and social dynamics interact to shape narratives, organize actions, and legitimize demands in a context of social protest. Using a mixed-method approach, quantitative techniques such as Social Network Analysis (SNA) with tools like TweetBinder and NodeXL were combined with qualitative methods such as semi-structured interviews and content analysis. A total of 9,991 tweets were collected and analyzed, along with 154 posts published by @CONAIE_Ecuador, identifying interaction patterns, key nodes, and discursive trends.Based on a conceptual framework that integrates sociotechnical analysis, cyberactivism, communication for social change, and social movement theory, this research explains the strategic role of the social network X in the indigenous movement’s social mobilization. The findings reveal how X facilitated the construction of a sociotechnical network where human actors (leaders, followers, opponents) and non-human actors (digital platform, hashtags, multimedia content) interacted. These interactions shaped and amplified the dynamics of mobilization, positioning X not only as a communication channel but as a sociotechnical assemblage that connects diverse actors and reconfigures power relations in protest contexts...
