Resumo: Há uma presença e protagonismo crescente das mulheres indígenas na América Latina nas lutas e reivindicações relacionadas com diversas problemáticas sociais. No entanto, pouco se tem de produção escrita na qual essas mulheres manifestem, com voz própria, o que para elas significou ou significa sua participação nessas lutas . Neste sentido, o presente estudo centra-se na produção de pensamentos, perspectivas, reivindicações e lutas das mulheres mayas da Guatemala e aymara da Bolívia, na época atual. Os seus seus interesses e reivindicações de prioridade com base em suas experiências e na interpretação que elas têm de suas próprias realidades, são examinados Os dois eixos temáticos principais são os direitos individuais das mulheres e direitos culturais coletivas. Ambos tipos de direitos estão interligados no caso das mulheres indígenas, devido a sua condição de gênero, bem como por sua identidade étnica, mas como se demonstra no estudo, o trenzado de relações de poder abrange outros tipos de relacionamentos (de classe ou geracional, por exemplo) que podem produzir conflitos de interesse para as mulheres indígenas e os conflitos com seus colegas do mesmo grupo étnico. Para o movimento feminista atual, é preciso compreender em que sentido o gênero e a diversidade cultural afeta o pleno exercício da cidadania para as mulheres indígenas. O seja, não se analisa a situação das mulheres indígenas frente à cultura dominante (mestiça ou não indígena), mas sim, sua condição de atoras sociais dentro dos movimentos que lutam para fazer valer os seus direitos como mulheres indígenas, em seus respectivos entornos
Abstract: There exists a growing presence of and role for Latin American indigenous woman in the struggles and affirmations related to diverse social issues. However, there is limited written production in which said women manifest themselves, through their own voice, expressing what their participation in these struggles implies or signifies for them. This study focuses on the creation of thoughts, perspectives, claims and struggles by Mayan women from Guatemala and Aymaras from Boliva, in present times. Their prioritized interests and demands are examined based upon their experiences and the interpretation that they have of their own realities. The two main themes are individual rights and collective cultural rights. These both types of rights are intertwined in the case of indigenous women because of their gender and ethnic identities. Furthermore, as is demonstrated in this study, the intertwine of relations of power encompass other types of relationships (class and generational, for example), that can lead to the production of conflicts of interest for indigenous women and also conflicts with peers of the same ethnic group. For today¿s feminist movement, it is necessary to understand in what sense gender and cultural diversity affects the full exercise of citizenship for these indigenous women. In other words, this does not mean analysis of the situation of these women from the point of view of the dominant culture (landino/mestizo) but rather their status as social actors within movements of social change to make validate their rights as indigenous women in their respective environments

Full textThis thesis deals with the links between the educational system and the birth of a national identity in the Guatemala of the Liberal Reform. From the first laws establishing a state-funded educational apparatus(1875) to the first occurrence of the nation as one of public school’s objectives (1927-1928), this study analyses the laws, speeches, school books and activity reports of the Public Instruction Secretary to examine their ideological significance and grasp the progressive construction of a complex national identity.After studying the foundation of the system and its declared objectives in the late 19 century, this analysis focuses on the “Indian issue”, then the “Central-americanism” mirrored by school, then the educational policy of Estrada Cabrera, and finally the reforms of 1927-1 928, which made the establishment of a national identity one of public school’s official objectives

Full textIf Central American literature seems to be emerging from the ghetto it has been confined to until recently, its writers don’t equally benefit from this improvement of the isthmus’ cultural practices’ visibility. Starting from the study of the short-story or cuento, a literary genre widely developed in Central America, our research seeks to identify the multiple intra and extratextual processes which allow discerning a coherent whole inside different productions from marginalized writers, a whole that could be identified as a writing of the margins. Through a regional and transnational approach, we analyse the historical marginalization of indigenous and afro-descendant populations as well a women, before gazing at the transfer of this marginalization from reality to fiction in the literary texts. Afterwards, we take an interest in the evolution of the literary representations of these marginalized groups, allowed by the (r)evolutions of the Central American societies, relying on the confrontation between a pre-corpus of short-stories that recount the representations of the alterity from the outside, and a corpus made of eight collections of short-stories by writers coming from these marginalized groups. Finally, we observe through these collections by the Panamanian Moravia Ochoa, the Afro-Costa-Rican Quince Duncan, the Guatemalan Kaqchikel Luis de Lión, the Belizean Garifuna Zoila Ellis, the Salvadoran Jacinta Escudos, the Nicaraguan Marisela Quintana, the Honduran Lety Elvir, and the Guatemalan K’iche’ Humberto Ak’abal, how this coherent whole of writings of the margins causes a destabilization of the literary canon by trembling or even inverting its hegemonic values

Este trabalho é resultado da pesquisa com a comunidade indígena Maia Achí de Rio Negro, localizada no município de Rabinal, província de Baja Verapaz, Guatemala. A problemática central é discutir sobre as identidades coletivas dos sujeitos que lutam por reconhecimento, depois de ter sobrevivido a cinco massacres, no contexto de sua resistência organizada ante a implantação da usina hidrelétrica .Chixoy. em seu território. Na abordagem, se considera a categoria nativa .vítima sobre-vivente. como forjadora da identidade dos sujeitos, cuja luta e protago-nismo têm origem num sentimento coletivo de injustiça. Assim, sob a pespectiva de Axel Honneth, a luta é analisada a partir da gramática moral dos conflitos, pois detrás de muitas reivindicações fica sempre uma condição que tem a ver com o plano da reparação moral. No entan-to, o reconhecimento centrado na reparação moral não nega as exigên-cias legítimas de reparação material (conforme a abordagem comparti-lhada entre A. Honneth e N. Fraser), que são, além da busca da justiça, demandas exigidas pelos sujeitos.
This work is the result of research with the Indigenous community Maia Achí of Rio Negro, located in the municipal district of Rabinal, province of Baja Verapaz, Guatemala. The central problem is to discuss the col-lective identity of the citizens who struggle for recognition after have suffered five massacres, in the context of their organized resistance the deployment of the .Chixoy. hydroelectric dam in their territory. In the approach, the native category "surviving victim" is as a forger of the identity the individuals, whose strength and leadership comes from in the collective feeling of injustice. Thus, under the perspective of Axel Honneth, this struggle analyzed by the moral grammar of the conflicts, because behind for many claims of these movements, there is always a condition associated with the issue of the moral reparation. However, the recognition centered in the moral reparation not deny the legitimate of the material reparation (according to the shared approach between A. Honneth and N. Fraser), which are, beyond the quest for justice, de-mands required by the subjects.

Full textThroughout the 20th century, Costa Rica built its own national identity on the “purity and whiteness” of the Costa Rican race. This is the identity paradigm in which the Jamaican population found itself upon arriving on the Caribbean coast in 1870 in order to work on the construction of railways and the banana plantations. This black, non-Spanish-speaking community was a barrier to the Costa Rican national identity project. However, the year 2015, marked a turning point. In virtue of an amendment to the first article of the Constitution, Costa Rica redefined itself as a “multiethnic, multicultural Republic”. This thesis retraces the complex process of integration undergone by the Costa Rican Afro-Caribbean community from 1870 to 2015. This study claims that the existence of this recent reconfiguration of the Costa Rican identity paradigm was in part fostered by one of the country’s most peripheral areas: Limon. The works of linguists such as Robert Le Page and André Tabouret-Keller have proven that linguistic choices can be considered as “identity claims or acts” by means of which a given speaker demonstrates his identity, his background and his aspirations. The people from Limon, by means of their sociolinguistic and identity claims, have thus helped start the aforementioned process of reconfiguration. The well-established use of Creole English clashes with the government’s official policy regarding the use of the official language of Spanish and the indigenous languages. Even though Creole English is spoken in Limon, in 2010 UNESCO classified it in its Atlas of the World’s Endangered Languages. Is there thus a campaign of revitalization in Costa Rica concerning Creole English? In an attempt to analyze the changing identity paradigm from an intersemiotic perspective, this study has chosen to focus on Caribbean literature and art as they both represent powerful mediums through which the expression of the Caribbean identity is portrayed and claimed
