Desarrollo de un audiovisual low cost para documentar el patrimonio cultural de la nacionalidad Puruhá.

Abstract

At the present time, the culture heritage of the Puruhá nationality is experiencing a remarkable decreasing due to several factors, among them migration and cultural shock, therefore, the aim of this research was to collect the intangible heritage of the Puruhá nationality, by means of a low cost audiovisual to be used for the preservation of the culture. For this purpose, we researched bibliographic sources in order to collect and analyze different customs and traditions that describe the Puruhá culture. We also obtained photographic and audiovisual material in Cacha, Chimborazo, which allowed us to have an overview of the cultural elements and the present situation of its inhabitants. To develop the audiovisual product, we used Bruce Archer´s approach of this research. During this stage, we carried out audio and video recordings that, after posproduction editing, resulting in an audiovisual product that condenses, represents and reflects the culture heritage that identifies the Puruhá nationality. In conclusion, it is important to preserve and transmit the intangible culture heritage of the Puruhá nationality, since traditions and customs are the elements that not only identify them, but also give them a unique and distinctive identity. Finally, it is recommended to capture culture elements in audiovisual products, since they allow a wide diffusion and conservation over time.
