Visualidades del sello postal ecuatoriano. Contribución teórica y experiencia metodológica en el desarrollo de la indagación doctoral en diseño

Abstract

As a result of the invitation of the Coordination of the Doctorate in Design of the University of Palermo, the experience and contribution of the doctoral thesis “Nation and State in the graphics of Ecuadorian postage stamps: Images in an era of change: 1990- 2015” was socialized in the space of the Advanced Seminar on International Design. Parallel to this, the relevance of the subject matter at the beginning of the doctorate was addressed, as well as the projection of the research in the articulation with a Social Communication thesis, the result of which resulted in a significant edition on the visuality of the Ecuadorian postage stamp as a communicational graphic instrument of the State and the Nation. The research approaches the understanding of the visual narratives of the postage stamp in the Ecuadorian society, within the framework of three Constitutions, in a period of twenty-five years, where drastic political and social changes took place.
