SUMMARY:The Power of Partnership: Revitalizing Limonese Creole (Costa Rica) Through Joint Action
DESCRIPTION:Despite being Costa Rica’s most widely spoken minority language\, Limonese Creole lacks constitutional recognition and continues to bear a legacy of social stigma. In response\, a collaboration between the Programa de Lingüística Centroamericana (PROLINCA) at Universidad Nacional and the speaker community has pursued a strategy of direct empowerment and revitalisation. This partnership has produced an official alphabet\, new legislation advancing language recognition\, and community-led immersion projects. This presentation reflects on lessons from this collaboration\, illustrating how such partnerships can restore visibility and dignity to a language and its speakers. \nProf. Dr. René Zúñiga Argüello is Professor\, researcher and Coordinator of the Centroamerican Linguistics Program (Programa de Lingüística Centroamericana) at the School of Literature and Language Sciences at the National University\, Costa Rica. \nModerated by Prof. Jaime Pérez González (Dept. of Linguistics\, UCSB). \nThis lecture is part of the Series of Indigenous Languages of Latin America (SILLA) organized by the Awakening Languages; Actions for Revitalization and Maintenance (ALARM) Lab\, with co-sponsorship from CLAIR.

SUMMARY:Connecting Archaeological Legacies\, Memory\, and Communities in the Northern Peruvian Andes
DESCRIPTION:Archaeology in the Northern Peruvian Andes is not only about the past—it is about how memory continues to live in bodies\, territories\, and everyday practices. In this talk\, I draw on more than a decade of research and community-based work in Cajamarca. I examine urban and community-centered archaeological projects developed in collaboration with local governments and residents\, highlighting how archaeological practice participates in the construction of local and regional identities. I also explore my collaborative work with master artisan weavers and other knowledge keepers\, foregrounding textiles and embodied practices as critical modes of transmitting memory\, knowledge\, and identity beyond written archives. I argue for an archaeology grounded in practice—one that seeks to challenge hierarchies of knowledge by recognizing community expertise as central to research\, interpretation\, identity-making\, and shared authority.
