The Shadow Presence of U.S. Models of Parental Involvement in Postcolonial Multilingual Language and Literacy Reforms in Western Highland Mayan Rural School Districts in Guatemala
This study offers a critique of imperialist relations implicit in U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) pedagogical texts and capacity‐building resources designed to support decolonial Indigenous Mayan language and literacy instruction. Storybook reading and other literate practices in Mayan ancestral languages were something that Indigenous linguist‐activists supported as part of long‐term efforts to realize bilingual and intercultur…
Enregistering the voices of discursive figures of authority in Antonero children’s socio-dramatic play
This study examines how boys from San Antonio Aguas Calientes, Guatemala develop their own perspective about what it means to be moral human beings in the world via discursive practices that contrast enregistered voices within an emergent performance genre that simultaneously doubles as socio-dramatic play-frame. This emergent genre exhibits both mimesis and alterity; children have appropriated a popular adult genre, within which their participat…
Forms of Talk
“Forms of talk” reflects a 1960s‐era interdisciplinary regrouping of approaches to the study of language use within the social sciences and humanities. Scholars in anthropology, folkloristics, sociology, and sociolinguistics rallied around “talk” and forms of “speaking” as conceptual emblems to expand the range of phenomena that fell within the purview of language sciences during a period when North American linguists were restricting their scope…
Language and Creativity
In linguistic anthropology “play” – as interactional frame or sociocultural activity – is considered a special form of social action, a source of metacultural revelation and reflection, and generative of emerging forms of (socio)linguistic structures and sociocultural organization. Current research addresses how all forms of play (e.g. speech play, verbal art, pretense, and many other non‐literal frames of interaction) mediate identities and iden…
Structuralism (Linguistic Anthropology)
Linguistic anthropologists approach language as a complex, variable system that must be understood in relation to and through sociohistorical and ideological context(s) of use. This perspective is distinct from disciplinary trends in the related field of linguistics, which tend to delimit “language” as an abstract system that has its own internal logic, exhibiting universal, formal properties that are most effectively studied in isolation. This e…
In the service of surveillance
Cet article examine des situations où des enfants traduisent des rencontres parents-enseignants entre les familles d’immigrants mexicains et les enseignants américains. Avec une approche ethnographique et de l’analyse du discours, l’article met l’accent sur le positionnement des enfants immigrants dans ces interactions, en accordant une attention particulière à la façon dont les enfants négocient les différents niveaux de surveillance de la part …
Translanguaging within Enactments of Quotidian Interpreter-Mediated Interactions
This article provides a critical review of the interdisciplinary literature on child language brokering (CLB), employing a Bakhtinian translinguistic perspective. The extant literature isolates the child language broker as a particular kind of vulnerable speaking subject, without regard to the ways in which ideologies of language shape cross-generational linguistic exchanges in zones of cultural contact. Broader attention to bilingual communicati…
Figuring youth citizenship
Refracting articulations of citizenship, delicuencia and vigilantism in boys' sociodramatic play in postwar Guatemala
(Be)laboring Childhoods in Postville, Iowa
By examining a flagrant case of "child" migrant labor in a meatpacking facility, this article addresses the cultural politics of global childhood. Conflicting constructions of childhood first emerged informally within kin and community networks. Community-based constructions were later overshadowed and delimited in a child labor trial that took place two years after Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents (ICE) raided Agriprocessors, the town'…
Maya Ethnolinguistic Identity
New Immigrant Youth Interpreting in White Public Space
Bilingual children are frequently called on to use their linguistic and communicative virtuosity to interpret for monolingual speakers. In this article, we theorize child interpreters' positionalities within the interstices of several borderlands: as children; as interpreters and translators interpreting different languages, registers, and discourses; and as immigrants seeking services within white public space. We analyze how youths are position…
Cultural Modeling
In this article, the authors use and further elaborate a cultural modeling framework to juxtapose two distinct yet analogous literacy practices: The out‐of‐school practice of translating and interpreting across languages, or “para‐phrasing” The cross‐disciplinary and school‐based practice of paraphrasing or summarizing written texts Data are from field notes based on two years of ethnographic observations conducted in the homes and classrooms of …
Socializing Puros Pericos (Little Parrots)
This article examines family and peer practices of socialization that illuminate a culture specific social ontology of intentions (Duranti 2006). An interpretive approach to the study of children's language socialization and peer talk is adopted to analyze how local beliefs concerning children's socialization and development are afforded within multiparty participation frameworks that involve teasing and shaming routines. These routines are power…
Buenos Días/((Military Salute)
In this article, I adopt an interpretive approach to the study of Maya children's peer talk to examine how Maya children's verbal arsenal of types of conflict talk-namely, teasing, shaming, and insulting nicknames-comprise powerful discursive strategies within caregiver and peer practices in the everyday negotiation and co-construction of peer politics and kin group social relationships. I specifically examine how children from 3 different househ…

S In this article we report on ethnographic research that explores the range of ways in which Spanish‐English bilingual immigrant youth interpret English language texts for their families. Drawing on participant observation in the homes and classrooms of 18 young adolescents who serve as interpreters for their families, 86 transcripts of theseinterpreters' oral Spanish translations of English texts, and 95 journal entries written by the youth abo…
Phonological and cultural innovations in the speech of Samoans in Southern California
Bilingualism is a concept that critically relies on and interacts with a variety of other theoretical constructs, including the notions of ”language”, ”speakers”, and ”community”. Subjecting these key notions to new empirical and theoretical challenges, this study struggles to invent a new language able to describe what we are learning to see without the faulty presuppositions of earlier labels. This is particularly difficult in the study of what…
