CORDOVA HERNANDEZ, LORENA. Literary consumption in indigenous languages: revitalization experiences from Southern Mexico. CS [online]. 2016, n.18, pp.37-61. ISSN 2011-0324.  https://doi.org/10.18046/recs.i18.2053.

This article analyzes, from several ethnographic experiences in Southern Mexico, the way in which agents for language revitalization design the programs or projects of literacy in indigenous languages. From the field of revitalization, promotion of literacy is a prerequisite for the production and consumption of literature in these languages. Mainly, this article discusses the production of literary goods from the reading skills of potential consumers. In addition, it interrogates how literacy is imagined as an education process that at the end does not result in the training of readers.

Keywords : Language revitalization; literacy; literary consumption; literature in indigenous languages.
