Resumen

Este artículo examina cómo las representaciones visuales del emprendimiento en Ecuador configuran las bases simbólicas de sus futuros imaginados. A partir de un corpus de 120 imágenes y mediante la aplicación de Causal Layered Analysis, el estudio revela un régimen visual dominado por actividades de baja complejidad productiva, la presencia ceremonial del Estado y narrativas moralizadas sobre el esfuerzo individual. Estas capas limitan la aparición de futuros basados en el conocimiento y naturalizan imaginarios orientados a la subsistencia. No obstante, el panel de expertos identificó señales tempranas de un arquetipo de Transformación sustentado en la colaboración, la capacidad científica y la experimentación creativa. Estos hallazgos evidencian las condiciones culturales necesarias para reorientar la trayectoria emprendedora del país.
