Decolonizing Our Oral, Written, and Visual Language: The Critical Theories of Anzaldúa, Segato, and Cusicanqui to Rethink Argentina

| Sumario: | Within the framework of a neocolonial turn in Argentina, I point out the urgency of decolonizing our language. To do this, I review the reflections on language of three Latin American authors from the decolonial tradition of thought: Gloria Anzaldúa, Rita Segato and Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui. I will be making a double movement. On the one hand, I will deploy a critique of the dominant languages today in Argentina, associated with the so-called "hate speeches", and, on the other, I will deploy a strengthening of alternative languages -associated, for example, with the so-called "inclusive language." I consider that the perspectives of Anzaldúa, Segato and Cusicanqui provide elements for the construction of a "critical theory of language." Finally, I will use the concepts of this critical theory to rethink some pressing problems in current Argentina. |
