Abstract
La presente investigación estudia la subcultura homosexual ecuatoriana con el objetivo
de encontrar cómo se relacionan el género, la subcultura de consumo, las imágenes, los
textos y los objetos en la cultura de consumo. La investigación realizada es descriptiva y
cualitativa, utiliza el método netnográfico; se adopta la red social Twitter como
instrumento para recabar conversaciones publicadas por usuarios que pertenecen a
organizaciones o grupos de activistas de la subcultura homosexual ecuatoriana. El
resultado de la categorización y clasificación de las conversaciones devela cómo se
construye la información y cual es el objetivo del mensaje en la audiencia que consume
dicha información.
Los hallazgos principales evidencian temas comunes cuyo contenido son tópicos
relacionados a noticias, derechos humanos e igualdad de género. La conceptualización de
los temas se construye a partir del consumo de información en ambientes de tipo social,
cultural y político. Las ideologías culturales se fundamentan en el análisis crítico del
discurso tecnocultural sobre tópicos abordados de manera recurrente. Se concluye que, la
vinculación de imágenes, textos y objetos en las conversaciones proporciona información
significativa del comportamiento de consumo de la subcultura homosexual. Con base a
los resultados y hallazgos se propone un modelo que describe factores culturales de la
subcultura homosexual y lo convierte en un esquema dinámico que podría adaptarse para
analizar y graficar el flujo de conversaciones que conlleve a descubrir elementos
culturales, con el propósito de reaccionar de manera congruente con el entorno de las
subculturas minoritarias.
