Alongside the emergence and consolidation of nation-states in Latin America, history as a school subject was born and developed. In that context, its purposes aimed to strengthen a national identity in territories still in the process of defining themselves, grounded in a patriotic ideal strongly rooted in the deeds of Independence and its protagonists—military and political heroes.

Read more about Dossier “Indigenous Languages for an Intercultural History of the Americas”Linguistic rights have been a central part of the history of Indigenous peoples since the beginning of colonial processes worldwide. For several decades, the current of epistemologies of the South has emphasized the need for epistemic justice, which entails the recognition and appreciation of Indigenous languages in the construction of knowledge beyond Eurocentric paradigms. At the same time, Indigenous peoples have demanded that states protect and value their languages, leading to the establishment of international treaties aimed not only at protecting them, but above all at promoting their revitalization.

CALL FOR PAPERS – DOSSIER
INVENTED TRADITIONS AND CULTURAL STEREOTYPES IN LATIN AMERICA, 19TH AND 20TH CENTURIES
Coordinators:
Matías Emiliano Casas, Universidad Nacional Tres de Febrero/CONICET
Karen Esther Donoso Fritz, Universidad de Santiago de Chile/Universidad Alberto Hurtado
Invented traditions are a set of regulated practices intended to instill values and standards of conduct. Its creation has also been linked to the interests of the ruling class that strives to govern the selection process. In Latin America, studies on the invention of traditions also reflected on the creation of cultural stereotypes. Every stereotype is a simplification aimed at homogenizing and fixing in time. Throughout history, both constructions, invented traditions and cultural stereotypes, have modeled behavioral patterns, promoted a common identification and established bonds of solidarity. Cultural stereotypes promote mechanisms of differentiation between "us" and "others". The consecration of stereotypes causes tensions, negotiations, disputes and impositions that are processed in different ways.
