The Ecuadorian criminal and criminal procedure system has been built under the mantle of the guarantee doctrine. However, we can question whether the fundamental precepts of this deontological ideal play a leading role in the practical resolution of specific cases or if they are rather part of a normative ideal, far removed from pragmatic reality. The a priori reality shows us that the guarantee proposal continues to be a goal, the fulfillment of which is immersed in perpetual tensions as a result of the momentum of efficiency and the expansion of authoritarian criminal law, protected by populist criminal proposals, far from the enlightened ideal. The objective of this work will be to highlight the origin of these contradictions and the problems to which it subjects the criminal process that prides itself on respecting fundamental rights, and within the fundamental conclusions we will find that the normative structure of Ecuador does not empirically ensure compliance with the postulates in each specific case. The research method will be legal exegesis, and through bibliographical exploration it will be possible to reveal the origin, nature and tension produced by this dichotomous model.

Transmedia narrative universes and their multiverses have become the largest sources of audiovisual productions in the film and video game industries. Star Wars, the Tolkien universe, DC Comics, Harry Potter, and Marvel are examples of transmedia narratives that contain numerous storyworlds interconnected through transmedia, thus forming universes capable of creating new cinematographic productions and new multiplatform content incessantly. Much of their success is due to expansion and depth as crucial elements of transmediality and media convergence. The article discusses the distinctive aspects of these narrative universes through the case study of The Avengers saga, a nuclear part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (UCM), from a multidisciplinary perspective involving discourse analysis and semiotics. Analyzing the content of the four films that are part of the saga allows us to identify the constant use of intertextual resources that come from the humanities (literature, history, philosophy, mythology, and film culture) and their relationship with the capacities for expansion and depth of transmedia narratives. The text proposes the need to highlight the importance of the humanistic foundations to create a deep, organic, and constantly expanding narrative universe of the saga, receivers’ holistic understanding of its meaning that can lead to the increased active participation of the fandom, and the creation of user-generated content and its link with this universe.

In this article we address the resistance expressions against mining expansion which are based on the socio-environmental conflicts, in the framework of policies that promote the mining sector in Colombia. It highlights strategic issues that offer a platform, in a geopolitical context, to support the advance of this sector towards foreign direct investment (fdi). Among these strategies, resistors create fissures and undermine capital and its system of domination1 in order to counteract the territorial emptying this extractive phenomenon causes.
