Geosemiótica y orden de interacción en comunidades indígenas de reciente creación

Abstract

This paper describes, from geosemiotics — the study of social meaning in the material location of signs, discourse and actions in the material world —, the documentation of the Chuj and K'anjob’al languages in two border communities of Chiapas (Mexico) for the elaboration of bilingual calendars (2020). Two interaction resources were elicited collaboratively: the sense of time and perceptual spaces. Since both communities are recently created in Mexican territory and have a dispersed location, cultural knowledge and interaction orders have been updated and diversified concerning other communities where these indigenous languages are spoken.
