In this article I intend to investigate the way the debate in the journal Anales de la Universidad Central de Ecuador, about various “social” pathologies affecting Ecuador and specific population groups, identified as heterogeneous, is shaped, elaborated, disseminated and finally reformulated.The article highlights the performative power of the reports, written by professors and students of that university, published in the journal, and the relationship between “expert knowledge” and different political powers to transform society, overcome the alleged state of backwardness and carry out an educational-civilizing process.The period under analysis spans from the celebrations of the Battle of Pichincha (1922) up to the end of the 1930s.
