Meio ambiente: Alterações Antrópicas No Leito De Rios E Efluentes Urbanos Podem Promover Efeitos Ecotoxicológicos Na Ictiofauna E De Saúde Pública, Um Estudo De Caso
Os rios são sistemas aquáticos integrados que estão sujeitos a ações abióticas e bióticas. Quando um rio sofre alterações, isso acarreta mudança no fluxo natural de nutrientes e sedimentos. Somado a isso, a utilização de organofosforados em monocultivos próximos a córregos e rios, pode culminar na sua contaminação. Alterações físicas no leito do rio, somado a contaminação através de substâncias com potencial mutagênico, podem gerar efeitos deleté…
Rethinking Language Barriers & Social Justice from a Raciolinguistic Perspective
The trope of language barriers and the toppling thereof is widely resonant as a reference point for societal progress. Central to this trope is a misleading debate between advocates of linguistic assimilation and pluralism, both sides of which deceptively normalize dominant power structures by approaching language as an isolated site of remediation. In this essay, we invite a reconsideration of how particular populations and language practices ar…

Undoing raciolinguistics
In this commentary, we discuss common pitfalls associated with the study of race and language, focusing specifically on the recent emergence of raciolinguistics as a frame for these efforts. We examine how raciolinguistics can be taken up in ways that silo discussions of race from the rest of linguistics-as something that the "raciolinguists" do-such that careful study of issues including colonialism, power, and societal hierarchies is perpetuall…
Deshaciendo la raciolingüística1
En este comentario, discutimos las trampas comunes asociadas con el estudio de la raza y el lenguaje, centrándonos específicamente en la reciente aparición de la raciolingüística como marco para estos esfuerzos. Examinamos cómo la raciolingüística puede ser abordada de maneras que aíslan las discusiones sobre la raza del resto de la lingüística -como si fuera algo que solo hacen los "raciolingüistas"- de modo que el estudio cuidadoso de cuestione…
Rejecting abyssal thinking in the language and education of racialized bilinguals: A manifesto
Following Boaventura de Sousa Santos, the authors of this article reject the type of “abyssal thinking” that erases the existence of counter-hegemonic knowledges and lifeways, adopting instead the “from the inside out” perspective that is required for thinking constructively about the language and education of racialized bilinguals. On the basis of deep personal experience and extensive field-work research, we challenge prevailing assumptions abo…
Introduction: Language and White Supremacy
The introduction to this special issue frames White supremacy as a central concern within linguistic anthropology, both as a focus of analysis and as a power structure that has profoundly shaped the field's logics and demographics. We emphasize how carefully attending to language, discourse, and signs can productively illuminate White supremacy's slippery logics, organizing principles, dynamic infrastructures, and diverse practices. Centering the…
Language and Race/Ethnicity
Linguistic anthropologists have carefully studied race and ethnicity in relation to distinctive demographic groups and nation‐state contexts, connecting examinations of language patterns associated with particular populations to endemic structures of power. Whereas initial inquiries into language, race, and ethnicity sought to challenge stigmatizing assumptions about minoritized language varieties on the one hand, and track linguistic practices s…
Raciontologies: Rethinking Anthropological Accounts of Institutional Racism and Enactments of White Supremacy in the United States
This article presents a theory of raciontologies-the fundamentally racialized grounding of various states of being-that sheds light on complex forms of institutional racism and white supremacy. We are interested in exploring not only how institutional contexts and processes function as sites or vehicles for the reproduction of white supremacy but more specifically how institutions become endowed with the capacity to act in their own right. This a…
Looking like a Language, Sounding like a Race: Raciolinguistic Ideologies and the Learning of Latinidad
Looking like a Language, Sounding like a Race examines the emergence of linguistic and ethnoracial categories in the context of contemporary US constructions of Latinidad. The book draws from more than 24 months of ethnographic and sociolinguistic fieldwork to analyze the racialization of language as a central form of modern governance. It focuses specifically on youth socialization to US Latinidad as a contemporary site of political anxiety, “ra…
Diaspora and language
This chapter illustrates how poststructuralist approaches to the analysis of language, diaspora, and migration can critically reframe understandings of linguistic practices and social identities. It identifies some of the ways that poststructural approaches to the analysis of language and diaspora can contribute powerfully to broader efforts toward denaturalizing stereotypes that equate linguistic patterns, social categories, and geographical con…

Unsettling race and language: Toward a raciolinguistic perspective
This article presents what we term araciolinguistic perspective, which theorizes the historical and contemporary co-naturalization of language and race. Rather than taking for granted existing categories for parsing and classifying race and language, we seek to understand how and why these categories have been co-naturalized, and to imagine their denaturalization as part of a broader structural project of contesting white supremacy. We explore fi…
Deprovincializing Trump, decolonizing diversity, and unsettling anthropology: Deprovincializing Trump
After Donald Trump's victory in the 2016 US presidential election, there was widespread public and scholarly outcry that particularized this historical moment. But the tendency to exceptionalize Trump obscures how his rise reflects long-standing political and economic currents, both domestically and globally. By contrast, the effort to deprovincialize Trump effectively locates his electoral win within broader historical, political, and economic a…

Racializing language, regimenting Latinas/os: Chronotope, social tense, and American raciolinguistic futures
Rethinking Gaps: Literacies and Languages in Participatory Cultures
Growing efforts in the study of digital literacies push for continued (re)shaping of policy and pedagogical interventions. In this column, we take up concerns in participatory cultures to revisit a longstanding issue pertaining to language. Evident in the literature on digital literacies is an implicit treatment of language, particularly around whose languages are included. In our respective research, we are challenged by questions that seek to i…
Undoing Appropriateness: Raciolinguistic Ideologies and Language Diversity in Education
In this article, Nelson Flores and Jonathan Rosa critique appropriateness-based approaches to language diversity in education. Those who subscribe to these approaches conceptualize standardized linguistic practices as an objective set of linguistic forms that are appropriate for an academic setting. In contrast, Flores and Rosa highlight the raciolinguistic ideologies through which racialized bodies come to be constructed as engaging in appropria…
Invited Forum: "Bridging the "Language Gap
This Forum provides a range of voices on the Language Gap, as our aim is to shed light on the need for more critical dialogue to accompany the proliferation of political initiatives, policymaking, educational programs, and media coverage. We highlight some relevant background on the Language Gap and describe some of the research used to support the concept. The diverse slate of Forum contributions that we have assembled approach the Language Gap …
Ferguson: Digital protest, hashtag ethnography, and the racial politics of social media in the United States
As thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of Ferguson, Missouri, to protest the fatal police shooting of unarmed African American teenager Michael Brown in the summer of 2014, news and commentary on the shooting, the protests, and the militarized response that followed circulated widely through social media networks. Through a theorization of hashtag usage, we discuss how and why social media platforms have become powerful sites for docum…
