“…Salasacas culture substantially avoids Mestizo (descendants of Europeans and Indigenous Americans) culture, limiting their participation (Beck & Mijeski, 2000). However, Wogan (2018) found that the Salasacas community has high future expectations, is willing to have non-discrimination, and is under equal participation. Although there is a well-known migration of Salasacas culture to the Galapagos Islands, where Galapagos Islands Mestizos' culture could influence Salasacas culture, the Salasacas have been enforcing their Indigenous traditions (Hidalgo Armijos & Maldonado, 2016).…”

“…For the Salasacas, the chaguarmishqui is a liquid extracted from the blue agave. The chaguarmishqui is important for Salasacas because, in times of need, it gave them food and drink, and clothing (Wogan, 2018). In addition, Allauca (2013) found that blue agave has essential health properties suitable for liver maintenance.…”

“…Although the Salasacas's agricultural production is primarily based on horticulture, they practice a hybrid nomadic farming system that includes more than 70 crop species, including corn, potatoes, beans, peas, and alfalfa. The crops are planted using rudimentary tools, produced locally, and are separated by ordered lines of agave plants (Corr & Powers, 2012;Wogan, 2018).…”

Latin America’s Indigenous are as varied as the place they live in and focus on past, beliefs, and culture. In Ecuador, the Indigenous Salasacas are famous for being strict in their cultural preservation, language, customs, agricultural practices, and costumes, which are considered unique. This ethnographic study aimed to understand the Salasacas’s agricultural identity across different generations and reports the experiences and perceptions of 12 Salasacas participants. Participants reported that many Salasacas have changed from agriculture to other economic activities, such as textiles, due to the limited agricultural programs and the influence of Hispanic culture. Participants informed the researchers that cultural pride and unity are fundamental Salasacas traits. They encourage new generations to continue studying to overcome racial issues with academic preparation. Program implementers must know how to honor Indigenous knowledge while introducing new knowledge and consider participants’ characteristics, such as age and gender, which is imperative for successful outcomes.

“…LSP studies highlight the analysis of literacy-mediated events-situations where reading and writing practices are essential to participating in broader social activities. In these studies, scholars make explicit connections between the use of literacy to broader, more "macro" issues (Blommaert, 2009;Kell, 2011) and examine issues of power and inequality (Wogan, 2004;Zavala, 2019). Finegrained analyses reveal that official procedures are loaded with precarious interactions and negotiations (Basu et al, 2009;Gebre et al, 2009;Maddox, 2007;Méndez-Arreola, 2019).…”

This article examines how participants in literacy events mediate the validation and legitimacy of official documents. Through articulating the perspectives of literacy as a social practice, paperwork studies, and the analysis of administrative burdens, we argue that the value of official documents is unstable and can fluctuate between valid and invalid each time applicants and frontline workers redefine the context of use. Through ethnographic observation, we gathered data on the historical production of birth certificates and the social construction of their meaning. We documented a participant’s unsuccessful efforts to renew her voter’s ID card over several years and in different government offices. We show how government employees rejected or accepted the same official birth certificate she presented, depending on how she framed her paperwork. Its meaning relied on the articulation of the negotiated administrative purpose, the definition of the context of use, and the document’s materiality.

“…Street (1984) afirma que todas las formas de hacer, usar, significar, interpretar y relacionarse a través de la escritura son profundamente ideológicas. En esa línea, estudios como el de Wogan (2004), Kalman (1999) y Castanheira (2013) han mostrado una gran variedad de prácticas, representaciones y usos de la lectura y la escritura en América Latina. Esta misma perspectiva se ha utilizado también para enfocar de manera particular las prácticas numéricas (denominadas numeracy en inglés).…”

En este artículo se analizan las técnicas de registro numérico utilizadas por trabajadores de campos agrícolas en México. Se identifica que esas técnicas están determinadas por aspectos como: los propósitos de la actividad agrícola específica, los intereses y la jerarquía laboral de quienes participan en ella. Los conocimientos matemáticos implicados en el desarrollo de la actividad también están influenciados por esos aspectos. Para esta investigación se adopta una postura teórica que dialoga con diversas perspectivas, particularmente con la Teoría Antropológica de lo Didáctico y los Nuevos Estudios de Literacidad. Numerical Records in an Agricultural Field. Writings in Tension and Labor Conflict EnvironmentsAgricultural workers number registration techniques are analyzed. These techniques are determined by a set of diverse aspects, such as the purposes of the specific agricultural activity and the interests and hierarchies of those who work in the activity. These aspects have also main influence on the mathematical knowledge involved in the development of the activity. The theoretical perspective adopted on this study looks for a dialog between diverse perspectives, particularly with the Theory the Anthropological Theory of Didactics and the New Literacy Studies.
