Abstract
El objeto de esta tesis es la escritura del mixe, lengua de tradición oral hablada en el estado mexicano de Oaxaca. Con la finalidad de valorar la relevancia de este producto cultural en la sociedad mixe, investigo las transformaciones en la lengua y la cultura que provoca la adopción de esta tecnología a través del estudio de sus usos, sus formas y sus representaciones. La relación de los pueblos amerindios con la escritura a lo largo de la historia se asienta en una relación de poder. Desde finales de la década de los setenta del siglo XX, la necesidad de escribir las lenguas indígenas, motivada hasta entonces por agentes externos por afán de controlar a los pueblos, es asumida como propia por algunos hablantes y la consecución de este objetivo se convierte en punta de lanza de las reivindicaciones lingüísticas del movimiento indígena que en esos momentos se está gestando. Este trabajo describe cómo se concibe y se desarrolla el proceso de estandarización de la lengua mixe protagonizado por sus hablantes e indaga sobre el impacto sociocultural que de él se deriva. Representa un estudio de caso sobre las relaciones que establece con la escritura una de las poblaciones originarias de México. Desde una perspectiva histórica y con un enfoque antropológico, se atiende a las causas, los fines y los efectos de la escritura en la lengua y en la sociedad mixes. Se trata de una etnografía de la escritura mixe, entendida como representación escrita de la interpretación de un fenómeno cultural...
The object of this thesis is Mixe writing, a language of oral tradition spoken in the Mexicanstate of Oaxaca. In order to assess the relevance of writing as a cultural product in Mixe society, this study investigates the changes in language and culture caused by the adoption of written language, through the study of its uses, forms and representations. The relationship of Amerindian peoples with writing throughout history is based on a relationship of power. Since the end of the 1970s, the need to write indigenous languages—which until then had been motivated by external agents in an effort to controlindigenous peoples—has been made as their own by some speakers and the achievement of this has became the spearhead of the linguistic demands of the indigenous movement that was blossoming at the time. This work describes how the process of standardization of the Mixe language carried out by its speakers was conceived and developed, and investigates the sociocultural impact derived from it. It represents a case study on the relationships that one of Mexico’s original populations established with writing. From a historical perspective and with an anthropological approach, the causes, ends and effects of writing in the Mixe language and society are addressed. It is an ethnography of Mixe writing, understood as a written representation of the interpretation of a cultural phenomenon...
