Habitus de la población indígena en relación a sus condiciones de habitabilidad

Abstract

This research project investigates the habitus of the Puruhá indigenous population of the city of Riobamba, based on the concept of habitus from the notion of the French sociologist and anthropologist Pierre Bourdieu, who mentions that habitus helps to understand action and thought in space, it is thus that through this conception it is sought to investigate how the meaning of the things that are practiced on a daily basis is generated and its relation with its habitability conditions, which can be considered as symbolic elements of the Pompeya indigenous community. Thus, research seeks to analyze thoughts, behaviors, expressions and actions and how they influence your lifestyle. For this, a very thorough investigation has been carried out by extracting information through the ethnography method, where the life of the indigenous people in their natural environment has been deeply investigated through a field work as the main objective the discovery and registration of certain patterns of behaviors in their indigenous dwellings, surveys with open questions have also been prepared in order to know their ideology in relation to their condition of life, so with the interpretation of these results generate a document where the correlation in their habitability conditions is evidenced. The realization of this research work allows revitalizing the Puruhá indigenous habitus in relation to their habitability conditions in their homes to make known to future generations and professionals all this symbolic value so that it can be used as an exploration instrument to be give the value you require and make meaningful designs that convey identity.
