Penultimate publication

Relational and Social Constructionist Consortium of Ecuador (IRYSE)

And yes, we are leaving to return, probably in other ways.

When we began publishing this blog on January 26, 2018, and decided to do it every 15 days -maintaining, against all odds, that biweekly frequency- we trusted in opening spaces for reflective dialogues in our relational-professional contexts.

We also trust that some of what we have published may have been a positive, useful contribution that served our imaginary readers. It may have been like that on some occasions, perhaps.

We have committed ourselves to the dissemination, in the context of Ecuadorian society, of philosophy, epistemology, and the social constructionist/relational/collaborative/generative/dialogical perspective, as well as the significant contributions of many of its most representative authors. In Ecuador, these ideas and practices are widely unknown, ignored, or nonexistent.

It has been a relentless search for questions, an invitation to reflective pragmatics—a risk, from the edges, to propose words to make, for example, “that transformative dialogue called therapy” continuing with curiosity, respect, and creativity.

Relational dialogue -conversations are endless- the dialogical/relational process builds new futures; and, from the future, the process is transformed.

When you have time and curiosity, and if you wish, you are invited to visit this blog in its various sections: Articles (the main one), Gallery (original photos), Art and Literature, Concepts, Ideas and Phrases, and Highlights (articles translated into English).

Well, on January 26, 2025, we will close this cycle and say goodbye.

The best for you and yours.

Hugs,

Diego and Maritza
