Description (in English)
There exists a rich legacy
of research that investigates themes related to languages and sociolinguistic
and sociocultural identities in the Andes. This collection of essays written in Spanish
adds one more piece to that legacy. The novelty of this contribution arises
from the multiplicity of perspectives and theoretical approaches that
characterize these essays, which explore diverse aspects of Andean languages,
cultures, ideologies and identities. This collection of essays not only
encompasses several fields within the humanities and social sciences, but also
diverse time periods from colonial times to the present, and includes studies
from nearly all the Andean countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, Peru
and Venezuela.
The unifying thread woven
through all of the essays is the interrelationship that exists between languages,
cultures and ideologies, and the impact that these have on the construction and
reconstruction of regional, national, ethnic and gendered identities. In this
way, the authors of the various essays approach from a wide range of
perspectives the diverse ways in which power dynamics have historically
affected the multiple layers of identity found in the Andean region. The
results of these interdisciplinary studies have contributed a wealth of new
details to the understanding of the relationships that exist among the
different forms of knowledge of the world in which we live.
The book is divided into
three sections. The first, “Vigorizando lenguas, vigorizando culturas” focuses on issues of indigenous language planning
and revitalization, with one article addressing practical and theoretical
issues of technology use in such efforts, and the other articles providing case
studies from specific times and places. The second section, “Ideologías e identidades (socio)lingüísticas”, examines the numerous ways that individuals
or groups express their identities and beliefs through their language choices,
both in terms of what language they speak, and the forms of discourse they
employ. Finally, the third section, entitled “(De)construcción
de identidades socioculturales”,
shifts the focus from linguistic aspects to the more strictly sociocultural realm. These essays deal with manifestations
of indigenous identity from a variety of perspectives, including literary,
religious, historical and sartorial.
This collection of essays is
of relevance to anyone interested in linguistic anthropology and indigenous
language and identity issues in the Andes: anthropologists, sociolinguists,
sociologists, language planners, historians, semioticians,
and other scholars of Andean cultural studies. It could also be of interest to
researchers in other areas of the world who are looking for novel approaches to
apply to their own regions.
