My doctoral research focuses on the way countercultures and protest cultures emerged in Ecuador during the Global Sixties. In this presentation, I will first focus on the theme of Disruption, as it is central to the sixties and the seventies. Secondly, I would like to show that it was a time of upheavals in the entire world, that it was a global phenomenon. Lastly, I will focus my presentation on Ecuador as a specific location to study this global phenomenon.
