SUMMARY:

This doctoral thesis in law investigates what the October 2019 protests in Ecuador reveal about the process of spatialization of the New Latin American Constitutionalism, investigating the scales, strata and layers of legality produced with it, the mediation mechanisms between them, the way they are being formalized and functionalized on the Ecuadorian national scale and their tension or harmony with other normative spatialities. The general objective is to problematize the limits and potentialities of the New Latin American Constitutionalism and to contribute to the efforts of elaborating a legal geography and a geographical constitutionalism. The basic theoretical framework of the investigation is the conception of space as a socially and historically produced relationship composed of an inseparable set of object systems and action systems, as well as the assumption that norms are products and producers of space, acting through naming, classifying, regulating, governing, and ordering practices. In turn, the constitutions have the functions of mediating the relationship between the geographic scales constitutive of a socio-spatial formation, of colonization and making viable the expansion of national States and, finally, of utopia and the avoidance of dystopias. The work is justified by the context of questioning the Latin American protagonism in rethinking canonical contents of constitutional law and elaborating world-wide proposals thought from the periphery of the modern colonial capitalist world-system. In this sense, the chosen event is a sample of this context and makes it possible to test the categories proposed by legal geography and geographical constitutionalism. Methodologically, the study uses a situated, multi-scale analysis, attentive to the legal imaginations and maps that the law anticipates through representations, assumptions and silences, in an exercise of experimentation in which the law intends to be reterritorialized through geography and from the encounter between different geographic scales that constitute the selected event (axis of coexistence), each belonging to different temporal scales of duration (axis of succession). The research is based on books, articles, reports, newspapers, magazines, maps, photographs, documentaries, state regulatory documents, and court decisions.
