          Abstract

          ESTE ARTÍCULO RESPONDE INTERROGANTES SOBRE LAS OPORTUNIDADES Y PROBLEMAS QUE SE PRESENTAN al hacer ciencia social en lugares política y económicamente inestables, sobre la inserción del investigador en los procesos sociales y políticos que analiza, y sobre las dificultades de la producción y la participación académica de los antropólogos indígenas en la antropología ecuatoriana. Uno de sus hallazgos es que los actores que contribuyeron a la organización del movimiento indígena en el Ecuador, la iglesia progresista y la izquierda, son también los principales productores de pensamiento antropológico; por tanto, cuestiona la creencia generalizada de que la izquierda no comprendió la importancia de la cultura y la etnicidad. Finalmente, analiza la relación ambigua de los académicos con el movimiento indígena y sus posibles efectos políticos.

          Translated abstract

          THIS ARTICLE IS AN ATTEMPT TO ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITIES AND OBSTACLES faced when doing social science in politically and economically unstable places; the insertion of the researcher in the social and political processes that he/she is trying to analyze; and the difficulties faced by indigenous anthropologists regarding academic participation and production in Ecuadorian anthropology. One of the findings of this article is that the same actors that helped organize the indigenous movement in Ecuador, the progressive Catholic Church and the left, are also the main producers of anthropological knowledge. Thus, the article questions the common assumption that the left did not understand the importance of culture and ethnicity for contemporary politics. Finally, the complex relationship of Ecuadorian academics with the indigenous movement and the political effects of these tensions are analyzed.
