| Sumario: | This article contributes to ongoing discussions at the intersection of three interrelated perspectives: language policy, linguistic ecology, and linguistic rights. To do so, we first review some postulates on linguistic rights and the suggestion to conceptualize them as third-generation rights. Grounded in the modulation between linguistic and territorial dimensions, we examine key currents within ecological linguistics and language ecology to introduce the concept of linguistic symbiogenesis, drawing on the work of Margulis (1998) and Haraway (2019). We then develop our proposal, which reconsiders the nature/culture dichotomy and challenges the centrality of language in its relation to (re)territorialization processes (Despret, 2022). This framework allows us to engage with Indigenous American linguistic perspectives, problematize the language–territory continuum, and follow Despret’s call to “make other histories possible.” |
