Using a variationist and an ethnographic approach, data was collected from 32 participants in a community located in the eastern region of El Salvador. The data was collected and analyzed in order to answer the following research questions: 1- What are the internal linguistic factors that condition the pronunciation of /s/ as interdental? 2- What are the external factors, both social and stylistic, that condition the pronunciation of /s/ as interdental? 3- What social meanings, if any, do speakers associate with the interdental variant of /s/? The first and second questions were answered performing mixed effects models and pairwise comparisons. Results indicate that word/syllable position, following segment, word function and morphological status are linguistic factors that affect the pronunciation of /s/ as [Ɵ]. Specifically, there are more probabilities of observing the interdental in syllable onset position both word medially and word initially. The use of the interdental is also more common when followed by non-high vowels. The interdental rarely occurs in coda position and when it does, the following segment is typically a pause. It is also more likely to occur in content words than in function words almost exclusively with non-morphemic value. The social factors affecting the interdental are occupation and age group. Specifically, [Ɵ] is more likely to be observed in preteenagers iii and in adults over the age of 55 and less likely to be observed in the speech of professionals and civil servants. It was also found that the interdental is more commonly observed in casual style than in more formal styles. Overall, the interdental appears to be a stable sociolinguistic variable in this community. A qualitative analysis was performed to answer the third research question. It was determined that the interdental is perceived as a stigmatized variant, yet at the same time speakers embrace it as a marker of local identity. iv Table of Contents Acknowledgements .............................................................................................................. i Dedication ........................................................................................................................... ii Abstract .............................................................................................................................. iii List of Tables ..................................................................................................................... ix List of Figures .................................................................................................................. xiii Chapter 1 : Introduction ...................................................................................................... 1 1.1.

    Performing Precarity: Decolonial Performance Collaborations With Undocumented Communities Christopher Goodson A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Scott Magelssen, Chair José Antonio Lucero Stefka Mihaylova Julie Shayne Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Drama ii © Copyright 2017 Christopher Goodson iii University of Washington Abstract Performing Precarity: Decolonial Performance Collaborations with Undocumented Communities Christopher Goodson Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. Scott Magelssen School of Drama This dissertation draws upon my field work relating to contemporary performance practices in the United States that collaborate with undocumented Latina/o immigrants. Drawing on the latest scholarship regarding undocumentedness, I argue that this population, due to the economic and social realities it faces, constitutes an internal colony of the US. In this regard, I frame the various processes related to these performances as “decolonial epistemologies,” à la scholars of decolonial thought such as Walter Mignolo, Madina Tlostanova, and others. Drawing upon first- person interviews with participants and spectators, as well as my own presence at several live performances, I argue that these artistic efforts (which manifest in the diverse media of theater, experimental video, and public ceremony) are designed not only to counter the mainstream discourse that regularly criminalizes and dehumanizes undocumented immigrants, but also to provide meaningful, inter-subjective learning experiences for those involved. Closely examining the social and economic contexts (as well as the aesthetics) of these unrecognized practices, this study offers a unique lens which shows how performance both garners a greater visibility for undocumented immigrants, and also effects positive change to their state of precarity in the US.

  • Izalco Culture, History and Traditions
    IZALCO CULTURE, HISTORY AND TRADITIONS. At the foot of Izalco Volcano, you’ll find a city of the same name, whose rich history and age-old, mystical traditions will captivate you. Historically, Izalco represents the largest indigenous community of the region where the people used to farm cacao and balsam for international export. From 1880 to 1930, this region produced more than 50% of the country’s total production of coffee. Nowadays, the higher elevations are still favorable for growing coffee and the lower elevations grow sugar cane, grains, fruit and cacao. The founding of Izalco is actually the history of two towns becoming one. During colonization, Asuncion (Lower Izalco) and Dolores (Upper Izalco) were bridged together, which is why Izalco now has two colonial churches and two central parks. In the Dolores Church, built in 1716, you can find many colonial images, paintings and embossed silver tabernacles. The Asuncion Church was built in 1576 in Baroque style, but all that can be seen are the ruins left by the Santa Marta earthquake of 1773. Izalco also has a mystical allure. The town has retained its indigenous healing traditions and rituals that the Spanish conquerors once referred to as witchcraft. The indigenous healers refer to themselves “curanderos” or naturopaths with specialties in spiritual healing. Many people prefer to visit the naturopaths instead of Westernized clinics because the plants they are prescribed are readily available and the treatment is more affordable. IZALCO, CITY WITH INDIGENOUS ROOTS Izalco belongs to the department of Sonsonate. Izalco is located on the road CA 8 from San Salvador to Sonsonate, at a distance of 58 km.

  • La Chinigua 29-66:Maquetación 1
    ANTROPOLÓGICA 2010 TOMO LIV n° 114: 29-66 La Chinigua guaiquerí y sus pares mesoamericanas y caribeñas Cecilia Ayala Lafée-Wilbert y Werner Wilbert Recibido: 04/10/2010. Aceptado: 30/12/2010 Resumen: Este artículo documenta la creencia en un espíritu-femenino mortífero y tentador conocido en Venezuela, entre los Guaiquerí contemporáneos de la Isla de Margarita, y entre los habitantes de algunas localidades del cercano Estado Sucre (antiguo territorio guaiquerí), con el nombre de Chinigua. Según las fuentes históricas, narraciones y encuentros individuales recopilados in situ, se trata de una aparición nocturna seductora que suele presentarse a los hombres que retornan de una jornada de pesca, a los que deambulan por las calles o a quienes regresan a sus casas después de un encuentro extramarital o ilícito. Se les presenta a primera vista como una mujer hermosa envuelta en una manta blanca o negra, tiene los pies invertidos y posee la capacidad de transformarse en un esqueleto aterrador, produciendo entre quienes se dejan seducir enfermedades y muerte. Después de descomponer los informes históricos, narrativas y encuentros personales en elementos significativos y susceptibles de análi- sis tipológicos, el aspecto y comportamiento de la Chinigua son rastreados y comparados con seres idénticos reportados a lo largo de Mesoamérica y las Antillas. Finalmente, se discuten la distribución espacial, los aspectos simbólicos y las posibles funciones socio- culturales de esta entidad. Palabras clave: Guaiquerí, Chinigua, seductora mortífera, Venezuela, Mesoamérica, Antillas, simbolismo. The Guaiquerí Chiniguaand her peers in Mesoamerica and the Caribbean Abstract: This article documents the belief in a deadly seductress spirit known to the contemporary Guaiquerí on Venezuelan island of Margarita and to the inhabitants of their former mainland territory in the state of Sucre as Chinigua.
