In memoriam
Dirigentas, intérpretes, acompañantes
El propósito de este artículo de reflexión es doble: en primer lugar, damos cuenta de la metodología participativa que aplicamos en el proyecto "Mejorando la vida de las mujeres a través del rol de las traductoras sociales en el Perú rural". Este proyecto, desarrollado entre los años 2018 y 2019, tuvo como objetivos visibilizar y resaltar el rol desempeñado por lideresas comunitarias de Puno y Ayacucho, en el sur andino del Perú, como intérpretes…
Las lenguas quechuas en tres países andino-amazónicos
En este artículo, se examinan distintos aspectos de la situación actual de las lenguas quechuas en tres países andino-amazónicos: Ecuador, Perú y Bolivia. Después de estudiar las cifras censales más recientes y la distribución regional de esta familia lingüística en los tres países mencionados, se aborda el escenario social de uso del quechua y el quichua, y se describen los cambios que se están experimentando en los últimos años en este terreno.…
Nosotras le llamamosacompañamiento
Este artículo analiza la interpretación ad hoc en un contexto de colonialidad multilingüe desde perspectivas sociolingüísticas y etnográficas. Se centra sobre la mediación lingüística-cultural que realizan rutinariamente dirigentas bilingües de Ayacucho y Puno para facilitar la comunicación entre miembros de sus comunidades (hablantes de quechua y aimara) y los/las funcionarios/as estatales (por lo general, hablantes monolingües de castellano). A…

Miscommunication in the Covid-19 Era
This article discusses issues around the communication of preventive health messages related to COVID-19 to indigenous language-speaking communities in Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. Official communication is primarily in Spanish, and the many translation initiatives that have arisen do not always succeed in getting the message across due to the lack of cultural interpretation that needs to accompany the linguistic message. This situation compounds t…
Los "mil rostros" del quechua en el Norte de Potosí
Este artículo examina la interrelación entre las lenguas aimara, quechua y castellano en los valles centrales de Bolivia tal como la autora la observó durante varias estadías de trabajo de campo en los años 1990. Se basa en la premisa de que la distribución socio-geográfica y los patrones de uso de estas lenguas se deben explicar en términos de las relaciones de poder sociales, económicas y políticas desiguales entre el sector urbano y el sector …
Evidence and Evidentiality in Quechua Narrative Discourse
This chapter discusses the working of evidentiality in Quechua narrative performance from the central highlands of Peru. In the Quechua narratives analysed, the grammatical marking of source and status of knowledge, and discursive ways of expressing evidence for knowing what is known, are shown to vary strikingly according to performance related factors. On the one hand, narrators base discursively expressed evidence for knowledge, and the veraci…
Translators’ Perspectives
An urgent need is emerging in contemporary Latin America for the translation of legal texts from the languages of former European colonial powers into the many indigenous languages spoken across the region. This article addresses the issue in relation to the rise of legislation that requires States to uphold the principle of linguistic human rights. It takes as a case study the translation of the Peruvian Indigenous Languages Act (2011) from Span…
Translation policy and indigenous languages in Hispanic Latin America
This article examines the status of translation policy as it relates to public service interfaces between the dominant Spanish-speaking sectors of society and speakers of some of the many indigenous languages of Latin America. The article focuses on Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia and Paraguay, and Peru is used as a case study based on recent first-hand research. Translation policy is inherently bound up with language policy, where the latter …
Shifting voices, shifting worlds
This paper examines evidentiality and epistemic modality in Quechua narrative discourse from the central highlands of Peru. Huamalíes Quechua falls into the broad Quechua 'I' dialect grouping established by Alfredo Torero (1964); evidential usage here can be compared to that of southern Conchucos Quechua as studied by Diane and Daniel Hintz (2007; 2006) while it differs in interesting ways from the Quechua 'II' dialects of southern Peru as studie…
Language, Signs, and the Performance of Power
The spread of the term "decolonization" in Bolivian political discourse since the coming to power of Evo Morales is an example of the ways in which shifts in the use of language may constitute the processes of change of which they are part. Opposing ideologies are being expressed through various channels (language, dress, symbolism, and ritual) in the struggle for dominance in the public sphere. The mass media play a dual role, both providing ill…
Education reform, indigenous politics, and decolonisation in the Bolivia of Evo Morales
Beyond the Lexicon of Difference
This article argues for a performative approach to the analysis of cultural identity in the Andes, drawing on empirical evidence in the form of verbal discourses recorded during field research in Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. Inspired by deconstructionist theory and method, the author explores the means by which speakers constitute their subject positions in the act of speaking, by means of certain discursive strategies that do not necessarily incl…

Quechua in Tantamayo (Peru)
This paper examines the use and status of the Quechua language in central highland Peru, where varieties of the Quechua I subgroup are spoken. The discussion centers on a case study of Tantamayo Quechua, spoken in the province of Huamalies, department of Huanuco. After a brief overview of formal features of the language, the paper complements Hornberger and Coronel-Molina's article by exploring issues of language attitudes, language shift and lan…
