Abstract
Desde 1989, a comunidade indígena Kariri-Xocó do estado de Alagoas, Brasil, se envolve em um processo singular de revitalização cultural. Trabalhamos para recuperar nossa língua ancestral, aproveitando as memórias da comunidade por meio de músicas, histórias e rituais, preenchendo assim lacunas em nosso vocabulário. Alguns de nós distribuímos listas de palavras para jovens e adultos da comunidade via WhatsApp, enquanto outros abriram uma escola para ensinar a língua a crianças mais novas. Este documento discutirá o processo de revitalização da língua da nossa comunidade. Em particular, veremos como nossa comunidade está aproveitando as mídias digitais para coletar, criar, disseminar e ensinar nossa língua como um meio importante de reforçar nossa identidade cultural.
Since 1989 the Kariri-Xocó indigenous community of Alagoas state, Brazil, has been engaged in a unique process of cultural revitalisation. We have been working to bring back our ancestral language by drawing on community memories of the language through songs, stories and rituals, thus filling gaps in our vocabulary. Some of us circulate word lists to young people and adults in the community via WhatsApp, while others of us have opened a language school to teach the language to younger children. This paper will discuss our community’s process of language revitalisation. In particular, we will look at how our community is harnessing digital media to collect, create, disseminate and teach our language as an important means of reinforcing our cultural identity.
