    Manifesto
    (Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Letras e Linguística, 2023-11-15)
    Buscamos discutir alguns pressupostos sobre o uso do inglês como “língua franca” em contextos acadêmico-científicos, identificar o impacto destes pressupostos nas trajetórias de produção e recepção de conhecimentos, e legitimar o uso de múltiplas línguas para a troca acadêmica transnacional. Propomos dez princípios: o uso do inglês quanto “língua franca” acadêmico-científica não sempre promove a inclusão; uma suposta “língua franca” acadêmicocientífica pode atuar como língua de dominação; uma política de inglês como “língua franca” pode desincentivar as traduções e limitar a participação; as políticas que posicionam o inglês como a “língua franca” acadêmico-científica contemporânea podem sugerir que o conhecimento produzido em inglês é o único que existe; a imposição do inglês como suposta “língua franca” acadêmico-científica é uma manifestação da distribuição desigual da produção e recepção do conhecimento; as línguas/variedades funcionam como recursos potentes para a criação de conhecimento; a escolha de uma língua de publicação ou apresentação é um direito sociolinguístico; a escolha de uma língua de publicação ou apresentação é um ato político; os organizadores de congressos deveriam ter o direito de eleger qual(is) língua(s) fomentar; os organizadores e participantes em congressos deveriam ser criativos e atentos para incluir audiências tão diversas quanto possível.

    Disentangling (de)colonial teacher education in the Andes: Dilemmas and possibilities
    (Wiley, 2025-09-01)
    Based on recent discussions on language and decoloniality and employing an ethnographic approach, this article examines a teacher education program in “primary intercultural education” at a public university in the Southern Peruvian Andes, in a context with a majority Quechua‐speaking population and youth with diverse bilingual trajectories. The goal of this article is to complexify the categories of coloniality and decoloniality of language by studying a reflection‐based action conducted by grassroots Quechua activists and teacher educators, which involves developing an academic Quechua register with the aim of empowering students as authors of their texts in the Indigenous language. These activists assume their intervention as a decolonial and critical strategy to neutralize hierarchies with respect to the oppression of the Spanish language, deracialize mother tongue education, and incorporate a social justice approach to counteract a depoliticized view of interculturalism. However, simultaneously, these activists promote a neat, autonomous, and disembodied Quechua; disfavor translanguaging practices; and erase the signifier of bilingualism, reproducing the coloniality of language and disempowering many of the students. These results confirm the need for further cycles of critical reflection when developing reflection‐based actions.

    Decoloniality and language scholarship – a critical intervention
    (De Gruyter, 2025-11-01)
    In this article, we argue that the way decoloniality is invoked in sociolinguistics runs the risk of becoming a buzzword that is sometimes deployed with inadequate attention to how its conceptual and political premises need to be critically contextualized. We propose three interconnected challenges that critical applied/sociolinguists would need to address more seriously in order to avoid the depoliticization of the discussions around language and (de)coloniality: (1) the insistence on an incommensurable non-western alterity outside modernity; (2) the production of new binaries despite trying to undermine them; and (3) the decontextualization of the studied phenomena from on-the-ground situations in highly complex circumstances. We claim, on the one hand, that 'Northern' appropriation of decoloniality can offer self-deluding comfort that one is engaging in a politics of emancipation, yet all that is taking place is a form of withdrawal from the messiness of contemporary politics. On the other hand, this depoliticized decoloniality is also instrumentalized in the Global South to romanticize indigeneity/minorities and exploit them for insidious political purposes, generating recursive internal differentiations and inequality.
