Preview Language and Revolutionary Magic in the Orinoco Delta
Description:
Exploring the ways in which the development of linguistic practices helped expand national politics in remote areas of Venezuela, this book situates language as a mediating force in the creation of the 'magical state'. Focusing on the Waraos speakers of the Orinoco Delta, it explores center–periphery dynamics in Venezuela through an innovative linguistic anthropological lens and a semiotic framework. Through the collision between Warao and Spanish, it highlights how language ideologies can exclude or integrate indigenous populations in the public sphere and how they were transformed by Hugo Chavez' revolutionary government to promote loyalty to the regime.
