Cuando la democracia está en la periferia; abajo

Ahí, donde no hay cobertura mediática; ahí, donde se respira, se vive, se dialoga cara a cara, se construye comunidad, democracia horizontal; ahí donde se lucha día a día con los de a lado, encarando a los de arriba, a los invasores, a los depredadores externos, a quienes siembran “plantas (atractivas, cautivadoras, pero) invasoras” que se comen el entorno; ahí está la mirada, la reflexión, la…

Presentación con Ilse Cruz-Velasco. De sus propias palabras: "Nací en Oaxaca y curiosamente estudié “Lenguas extranjeras”. Después migré a Guadalajara y ahí me interesé más por las lenguas originarias de mi lugar de origen, entonces decidí hacer una maestría en Lingüística Aplicada en la UdG. Después de eso me apasioné por los procesos de mantenimiento- desplazamiento de las lenguas, la migración, la identidad, etc. Actualmente estoy en un doctorado en Ciencias Sociales en el CIESAS- Occidente donde desarrollo un proyecto que va sobre la resistencia lingüística de pueblos zapotecos en la Sierra Norte. También soy miembro del SEMLE (Seminario de Lingüística y Educación- Guadalajara) – COLMEX, donde en conjunto con mis compañerxs hemos trabajado con niños purépecha, nahua y mazahua en el contexto urbano."

Del 24 al 26 de octubre asistí al V Congreso Mexicano de Antropología Social y Etnología en el CIESAS. De hecho, empezaba un día antes pero yo aún estaba acabando de escribir el primer capítulo de tesis. Ir al congreso me permitió conocer a otrxs investigadores que estudian belleza, industria cosmética y cuerpo como yo, ver a compañerxs de la UAMI y amigxs, y pasear un poquito por Tlalpan. Además, ¡regalitos!

Stop the aggressions against the Zapatistas! - Manifesto signed by Noam Chomsky, Boaventura De Sousa, Raúl Zibechi, Enzo Traverso, Gilberto López y Rivas and more.

Today those who defend the environment are slaughtered every day. At a time like the one that the planet lives in which the protection of those who defend it is required, the opposite happens. Those who have resisted this destruction by the powerful have not stopped saying NO, they have always done so, although the current administration does not want to have memory.

The murder in the community of Amilcingo, Morelos of Samir Flores, a member of the resistance against the Comprehensive Plan Morelos, its gas pipeline and thermoelectric plants that put the life and territory of Nahua communities in Puebla and Morelos at risk; the massacre of 15 Ikoot indigenous people in San Mateo del Mar, Oaxaca, one of the regions that has opposed the Trans-isthmian Corridor projects; the growing paramilitary violence in Chiapas, with 56 attacks in the municipality of Aldama alone, and the kidnapping in February of members of the National Indigenous Council (CNI) of the municipality of Chenalhó are proof that the war continues.

Now the violence is becoming more and more explicit against the Zapatista communities. The growth of the activity of paramilitary groups such as “Los Chinchulines” or the Regional Organization of Coffee Growers of Ocosingo (ORCAO), as well as the appearance of new groups, is exacerbating tension in the region. The theft and burning of warehouses and houses of the Moisés Ghandi community, of the Autonomous Rebel Zapatista Municipality “Lucio Cabañas”, (in the official municipality of Ocosingo), show the increase in the intensity of the aggressions and provocations against the Zapatista Army of National Liberation. The EZLN has respected the ceasefire for years and has focused on strengthening its autonomous organizational processes with schools, clinics, and justice systems. It is serious that one of the ethical references of resistance and construction of concrete and viable alternatives for the planet continues to be under siege, and it is even more serious that the response of those who seek to “transform Mexico” is complicity or oblivion in the face of these extermination attempts. .

It is extremely worrying that this occurs in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, that there are those who seek to take advantage of the vulnerability in which everyone finds themselves to fuel their ambitions for money and power. It is more worrisome when those who are supposedly in charge of preventing such abuses allow and therefore favor them.

Beyond the erroneous or successful changes of the executive power, which shows this escalation of violence in indigenous areas, and the worsening of paramilitary attacks in the Zapatista territory in Chiapas, is the continuity of the racist, colonial and paternalistic vision of the governments. liberals and conservatives, left and right. Projects such as the Mayan Train show the idea of ​​bringing "development" to indigenous peoples by turning them into cheap labor and contributing only the folkloric image of the Mexican indigenous.

The violence and dispossession of indigenous territories that megaprojects such as the Trans-isthmian Corridor or the Mayan Train imply and require are the ethical breaking point of the current Mexican government, it is where the moral stature that President López Obrador has awarded in front of its predecessors begins to collapse.

Those of us who signed this letter are watching carefully what is happening in Mexico, what is happening in the Zapatista communities that for decades have been a benchmark for other ways of living, health, education, justice, politics. We will not allow the extermination of indigenous peoples with the recurring excuse of development.

Letter C pronunciation’s video.

(I’m not sure I explained all this clearly and properly, but I hope so)

Ciao! Oggi voglio parlarvi della lettera C e di come pronunciarla a seconda delle vocali che la seguono, quindi A, O, U, I, E; se abbiamo la doppia CC; se è seguita dall’H; se è preceduta dalla S; e tutti gli altri casi. Quindi vediamo un po’ come fare con degli esempi. La cosa che bisogna ricordare più di tutte è che la pronuncia della lettera C dipende particolarmente dalla vocale che la segue e dalla presenza dell’H o meno. Vediamo subito: - Se la C è seguita da una vocale A,O,U, abbiamo un suono duro come una K inglese, quindi CA, CO, CU. (CASA, CORSA, CUORE) - Se invece la nostra C è seguita da vocali I ed E, avremo una pronuncia dolce, quindi CINEMA, CERCHIO, quindi C come CIAO - Se volessimo far diventare anche la pronuncia delle vocali I ed E dura (well, actually of the C near I,E) , c’è un modo: bisogna aggiungere l’H. Quindi H seguita C più H più le vocali I ed E, ci permettono di leggere anche le parole con le vocali I ed E, come se avessimo una K. Per esempio: CHIESA, CHE. Se non avessimo l’H, leggeremmo CIESA, CE (a pronoun btw). Quindi l’H è importante perché ci permette di leggere determinate parole in maniera differente, cioè ci permette di cambiare il suono della lettera C che altrimenti sarebbe C come in CIAO.

Vediamo con l’H e la S, soprattutto con la S prima. Il suono, in presenza della S, diventa SC. Quindi il suono rimane dolce se dopo la C abbiamo una vocale I od E, quindi per esempio, SCIENZA: sentite che il suono della C rimane dolce. Anche in questo caso se volessimo avere un suono duro, dovremmo aggiungere l’H, quindi SCHIENA. Se invece ci fosse una vocale A,O,U avremmo comunque un suono duro quindi SCATOLA, SCORZA, SCUSA. Non cambia molto appunto, se non il suono che dobbiamo fare SC (SK o SC, a seconda che sia un suono duro SK, o un suono dolce SC).  Nel caso in cui avessimo una doppia CC, la regola è sempre quella: dipende dalla vocale che abbiamo dopo la seconda C: l’unica cosa che dobbiamo ricordarci di fare è di allungare un attimo il suono della C, quindi ACCETTARE, ACCIAIO, ACCAPARRARSI, ACCORRERE, ACCUSARE. I suoni cambiano sempre a seconda della vocale che c’è dopo, però vengono solamente allungati quindi ACCIPICCHIA, ACCUSARE invece avremo del solito CI, CU. Bene, queste sono le cose che dovete ricordarvi per pronunciare la lettera C, quindi dipende tutto da che vocale segue la lettera C e in caso dalla presenza dell’H o meno: sono quelle che cambiano la pronuncia della nostra lettera. Credo di avervi detto tutto, nel caso in cui abbiate domande o qualcosa non sia chiaro, scrivetemi qua e vi risponderò. A presto!

ENG:

Ciao! Today I want to talk with you about the letter C and how to pronounce it according to the vowel that follows it, basically A, O, U, I, E; if we have the double CC; if it’s followed by the H; if it’s preceded by the S; and all the other cases.  So let’s see what to do with some examples. The thing you have to remember is that the pronunciation of the letter C depends particularly upon the vowel that follows it and on the presence of the letter H (or absence).  Let’s immediately see: - If the letter C is followed by a vowel A,O,U we have a strong sound, like a K in English, so CA, CO, CU. (CASA = house, CORSA = running, CUORE = heart). - If instead our C is followed by the vowels I and E, we’ll have a soft pronunciation, so CINEMA = cinema, CERCHIO = circle, so C as CIAO = hi - If we wanted to make strong also the pronunciation of the vowels I and E (well, actually of the C near I,E), there’s a way: we have to add the H. So H followed C plus H plus the vowels I and E, make us able to read also the words with the vowels I and E as if we had a K. For example: CHIESA = church, CHE = that/what. If we didn’t have the H, we would read these as CIESA, CE (a pronoun btw). So the H is important because it helps us reading particular words in a different way, i.e. it let us change the pronunciation’s sound of the letter C that otherwise wouls be as in CIAO.

Let’s see with the H and the S, especially with the S in front. The sound, with the letter S, becomes SC. Basically the sounds keeps being soft if after the C we have a vowel I or E, so e.g., SCIENZA = science: you can hear the sound of the C staying soft. Also in this case if we wanted to have a strong sound, we should add the H, so SCHIENA = back. If instead we had a vowel A,O,U we would have a strong sound anyway so basically SCATOLA = box, SCORZA = rind, SCUSA = sorry. It doesn’t change much in fact, if not the sound that we have to make SC (SK or SC, depending on if we have a strong sound SK, or a soft sound SC). If we had a double CC, the rule is still that one: depends on the vowel that we have after the second C: the only thing we have to remember doing is to extend a little the sound of the C, so ACCETTARE= to accept, ACCIAIO = steel, ACCAPARRARSI = to grab, ACCORRERE = to hasten, ACCUSARE = to accuse. The sounds always change according to the vowel that follows, but generally they are extended so ACCIPICCHIA = dang, ACCUSARE = to accuse instead of the usual (short) CI, CU. Alright, these are the things you have to remember about the pronunciation of the letter C: everything depends on the vowel that follows the letter C and eventually on the presence of the H (or absence): these are the ones that change the pronunciation of our letter. I believe I told you everything, if you have questions or if something isn’t clear, write me here and I’ll answer you. See ya!

MÉXICO PROFUNDO. UNA CIVILIZACIÓN NEGADA

MEXICO PROFUNDO. UNA CIVILIZACION NEGADA Bonfil, B., Guillermo, CIESAS/SEP, Foro 2000, M6xico, 1987,250pp. 

Por Verónica Valenzuela

Situarse en otro lado para mirar la historia, obstinarse en ver lo que otros niegan, intentar una refiexi6n critica y pretender "fundar una nueva esperanza" para un proyecto nacional que reconozca la pluralidad 6tnica y que integre en el Estado-naci6n la representaci6n de los grupos indios como entidades politicas. Esto es lo que propone Bonfil Batalla en su (iltimo texto: Mexico Profundo, que bien puede considerarse una sintesis de las preocupaciones y problemSticas en las que ha venido trabajando incansablemente a lo largo de muchos anos. La propuesta de Bonfil no es otra que la de colocarse en la perspectiva de "los vencidos" para refiexionar la historia e identidad nacionales. Descuadrar el enfoque comun del pensamiento indigenista oficial y cuestionar la concepci6n de una naci6n que niega y reniega de su cualidad india. Y esto es asi pues el concepto de etnicidad que propone el autor esti lejos de circunscribirse finicamente a la poblaci6n tradicionalmente considerada indigena. La etnicidad es, por el contrario, descubierta actuante en una amplia gama de sectores "urbanos" y "mestizos", y todos ellos constituyen lo que Bonfil ha denominado el "M6xico profundo". El autor sugiere — y todo el tendido capitular lleva a ello— el reconocimiento del M6xico profundo como parte medular de la identidad nacional, pero este reconocimiento de indianidad rebasa, y en este sentido rompe con la tradici6n indigenista gubernamental, con las fronteras de las llamadas "regiones de refugio", con los criterios de adjudicaci6n de identidades indfgenas manejados por los censos nacionales, asi como con las postulaciones discursivas de reconocimiento de lo indio en las rai'ces u origenes de la cultura nacional. 

Mixico Profundo nos presenta el pasado y el presente de la realidad india, considerando en ella la infinidad de rasgos culturales que dan fe de su presencia en la mayor parte de la poblacion mexicana. Bonfd empieza desmontando esta identidad dfrada y plasmada en la naturaleza, en el paisaje, en la leng;ua,en la raza. Analiza lo que considera los rasgos generales de lo indio y sus formas de expresi6n en la cultura indigena y en la que no se identifica como tal, tanto en el campo como en las ciudades. Cuestiona la raz6n de ser de un "M6xico imaginario" montado sobre una negaci6n, que al proponer un proyecto civilizatorio occidental, exalta un ser que no somos,provocando una naci6n escindida, que equipara la identidad con la igualdad y que, mientras no se reconozca en su diversidad cultural, en su multiplicidad y alteridad civilizatoria, no le serS posible "superar la esquizofrenia a que ha dado lugar el desencuentro entre el M6xico profundo y el Mexico imaginario"(p.lll). El trabajo de Bonfil impone la referenda obligada a tantos otros pensadores, muchos de ellos colegas suyos, que se han empenado en reivindicar la pluralidad 6tnica, desenmascarar las diferencias y defender su derecho a existir y desarrollarse sin menoscabo de la integridad nacional, pues un estado solo puede ser nacional si asume y vive la diferencia en su seno. Mexico Profundo es un texto accesible y dirigido a todos, pues uno de sus no menores logros es su claridad expositiva, su intenci6n realmente comunicativa de una concepci6n, de una propuesta, de un proyecto de civilizaci6n, que no incumbe s61o a acad6micos, sino a todos aquellos preocupados e interesados en las profundidades nacionales.

[useless-catalanfacts]

Today’s topic can seem to be a bit far away from what we usually post about, but you’ll see it’s not. I want to talk about this book, Adivinanzas en mixteco, la lengua de la lluvia (“Riddles in Mixtec: the language of rain”), and a surprise I found in it.

When I was a child, my father used to go to Mexico often for his job, and one year, he brought me this book.

It’s a book about riddles in different dialects of the Mixtec language, an indigenous language from Mexico, and it also has a translation to Spanish, English and… what was my surprise when I opened the book and saw it’s also in Catalan!

Apparently, the Government of Catalonia gave the funds to publish this book.

[Image: back of the book. You can see the logos of the institutions that have funded it: the Catalan NGO linguapax, the Mexican anthropology association CIESAS, the Government of Catalonia, and the publisher Artes de México]

I’ve never been able to find any information on what kind of aids our government has been giving, but I think it’s great that it helped/helps (this book is from 2005, I don’t know if it’s still going on) indigenous languages get published. As a country who has also suffered the illegalization and persecution of our languages (Catalan and Aranese), it’s common to be involved in solidairty projects with other stateless nations, most commonly Euskal Herria and Galiza and sometimes Occitania, but we should expand this further away. It’s especially important to contribute to amplifying the voice of the indigenous people from the Americas and help provide some of the economical resources they need for this from, since our ancestors took part in the shameful colonization of their continent. It’s the least we can do.

So, today is October 12th and marks the anniversary of the day Christopher Columbus arrived to the Bahamas thinking it was India. Years later, after his death, Europeans found out that it was a new continent, and some European countries, most importantly Castille (Spain), Portugal and England, sent their most bloody generals to invade the continent, starting a genocide and a process of eliminating local languages and cultures that would last for centuries. And, even nowadays, Spain celebrates its national day called Día de la Hispanidad (“Spanishity” Day) on October 12th with a military parade, showing with no shame that they have learnt nothing. This year, like every year, many city councils and individual people in Catalonia went to work as any other day as a protest againt this celebration, but we still have people on trial for having worked on last year’s October 12th. We’ll see what happens this year.

So I think the least we can do as Europeans (and European descendants in the Americas) is to listen to listen to what indigenous people have to say, promote their media in indigenous languages, and try to contribute when we find an initiative that needs foreign help.

By the way, if you want to buy the book, you can do so in Artes de México’s website
