MARTINEZ NOVO, Rodrigo. Unsustainable Time and Time Sense in Kichwa Canelos Community. Desacatos [online]. 2012, n.40, pp.111-126. ISSN 2448-5144.

This article provides a theoretical approach to the temporal sense of the Kichwa Canelos communities in the Ecuadorian Amazon. It will be held by confronting this sense with the temporal notion that underlies the modern discourse of sustainable development in an indigenous context of increasing institutionalization and conflict. As we will see through discourse analysis and the "before" and "behind" metaphors, the Kichwa concept of time is based on analog and concurrently character. A time not alienated, such as modern western unsustainable time.
