Linguistic Symbiogenesis: Towards an Ecopolitical Proposal

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. Grou...

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.” Este artículo pretende ser un aporte a las indagaciones en torno a tres perspectivas (problemas, conceptos, enfoques) que presentamos de manera articulada: políticas, ecología y derechos lingüísticos. Para eso, primero revisamos algunos postulados sobre los derechos lingüísticos y la sugerencia de pensarlos como derechos de tercera generación. Así, desde la modulación lenguas-territorios, repasamos varias corrientes de la lingüística ecológica y de la ecología del lenguaje para presentar lo que hemos llamado “simbiogénesis lingüística” desde Margulis (1998) y Haraway (2019). Esbozamos, entonces, nuestra propuesta que implica otras conceptualizaciones del binomio naturaleza/cultura y desestabilizar la centralidad de la lengua en su relacionalidad con los procesos de (re)territorialización (Despret, 2022). Este enfoque nos permitirá situarnos desde la lingüística indígena americana para problematizar el continuum lenguas-territorios e invitarnos a “volver posibles otras historias”, como reclama Despret.
