Item type:Publication, Linguistic ideologies of authenticity and commoditization: the case of the «rescue» of the Muchik language in northern Peru(Academia Peruana de la Lengua, 2022-07-01)In this paper, the case of the «rescue» of the extinct Muchik language in the Peruvian region of Lambayeque is discursively analyzed. My proposal is that two linguistic ideologies have been configured in the attempt to recover the language. The first is the ideology of authenticity, according to which this language is represented as the legitimate language of the current descendants of the legendary Mochicas and that it is necessary to bring it back from the past to recover the essence of the Muchik people. The second is the ideology of commoditization, which instrumentalizes this language as an ethno-commodity by conceiving it as an attractive cultural asset for tourist consumption. This research is theoretically framed within sociocultural linguistics and social constructionism. It has followed a qualitative methodology, with an interpretative approach, and has used discourse analysis as the main tool for data analysis. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Visual Representations of the Loreto Landscape: From Authenticity to the Sense of Place(Universidad Cientifica del Sur, 2025-08-29)There is a significant visual tradition that, through painting and photography, has represented the Amazonian region of Loreto and the city of Iquitos. By discussing the concepts of landscape, authenticity, and sense of place, this article aims to analyze this tradition and new emerging forms of representation. To this end, canonical images have been analyzed and more than fifteen contemporary artists have been interviewed. It is argued that: i) this tradition is anchored in landscape painting, ii) that the authenticity of these images is achieved through their ability to mimic the landscape depicted, and iii) that artists have emerged who deconstruct previous landscapes, explicitly destabilizing hegemonic visual regimes. The article concludes with the need to shift from an emphasis on authenticity to an understanding of the embodied senses of place from which visual representations emerge.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Identifying the Role of Digital Self-Presentation in Adolescent Identity Formation(2025-01-01)Objective: This study aimed to identify and interpret the role of digital self-presentation in shaping adolescent identity formation among Chilean youth within the broader context of social media engagement and self-concept development. Methods and Materials: A qualitative research design was employed using semi-structured, in-depth interviews with 33 adolescents aged 14–19 years from Santiago, Valparaíso, and Concepción, Chile. Participants were selected through purposive sampling to ensure diversity in gender, socioeconomic background, and social media usage. Data collection continued until theoretical saturation was reached. All interviews were conducted in Spanish, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using thematic analysis with NVivo 14 software. The analysis involved open, axial, and selective coding to generate core themes reflecting participants' lived experiences and meaning-making processes in digital environments. To enhance the study's credibility, member checking and peer debriefing were performed. Findings: Three overarching themes emerged: (1) Digital Platforms as Identity Arenas, illustrating how adolescents strategically curate and manage their online personas; (2) Negotiating Authenticity and Social Expectation, revealing tensions between genuine self-expression and conformity to peer norms; and (3) Identity Development through Digital Interaction, emphasizing how feedback, role experimentation, and online reflection foster evolving self-awareness. The findings demonstrated that adolescents actively use social media to construct, test, and regulate their sense of self, while feedback mechanisms and social comparison dynamics significantly influence emotional well-being and self-esteem. Participants with stronger self-regulation and supportive family relationships displayed greater digital resilience and identity coherence. Conclusion: Digital self-presentation functions as both a developmental opportunity and a psychosocial challenge. It enables adolescents to explore diverse self-aspects and foster identity growth while simultaneously exposing them to social pressures and validation dependence. Conscious and reflective engagement in digital spaces can enhance identity integration and emotional balance in adolescence.5
