Armed conflict and resistance in indigenous Colombia
The linguistic landscape of Toribío (Cauca)
The present proposal is to analyze the linguistic
landscape of the municipality of Toribío (Colombia) as a means of
testimony of the autonomous indigenous resistance against the
violence suffered by the Nasa communities during the Colombian
Conflict. The methodological approach proposed is based on the
cultural analysis of the units from their context referent to social
tensions, with an emphasis on its “meaning-making” (Ivkovic & Arfin, 2019)
value. This will also rely on palabrandar, a
category of the Nasa epistemology that means the ability to “walk
the word” (Almendra,
2017, p. 73) so that it may be a transformative path and
action of the community environment.
