    Procesos y materialidad en el estudio del lenguaje en sociedad
    (De Gruyter Mouton, 2021-03-01)
    In this brief essay, and making use of my own research in Peru, I raise two issues that I have been reflecting on throughout my career and that I believe constitute challenges in addressing language in society. The first refers to the importance of studying the processes of meaning production from an ethnographic perspective, and the second, to the centrality of articulating the production of these meanings with the material conditions of existence that make them possible or difficult. These two points are committed to combining ethnographic sociolinguistics and glotopolitics, as critical perspectives that are enhancing sociolinguistics in Latin America.

    The Quechua of Some and the Quechua of Others: Challenges of Learning the Indigenous Language in the City
    (Universidad Nacional de Colombia::will be referenced::ROR-ID, 2023-07-01)
    In the context of an initiative to disseminate Quechua in the city of Lima called Quechua for All, I will discuss the growing demand to learn Quechua by young students or professionals, many of whom come from upwardly mobile middle-class Quechua migrant families. Although these interventions are making Quechua visible in the city, they are simultaneously constructing new divisions between types of citizens who speak the indigenous language: those who are vulnerable and racialized Quechua speakers and these new learners, for whom Quechua adds to their identity as multilingual citizens. From the paradigm of critical sociolinguistics, I will show how speaking Quechua in the city is being articulated with other signs, such as having knowledge of English and being a professional or in the process of becoming one, to enregister a multicultural citizenship in a context of neoliberal economic growth.
