The Power of Testimony in a Post-Conflict Society: Documenting Cases of Rape in El Salvador in the Aftermath of its Armed Conflict
This presentation examines El Salvador’s armed conflict (1981–1992) through the testimonies of sixty women who experienced wartime rape perpetrated by both state security forces and guerrilla forces. By documenting experiences frequently excluded from official and dominant historical narratives, the research contributes to a more inclusive understanding of the conflict and its enduring legacies.
The Grammar of Conversion: An Analysis of Early Nahuatl and K’iche’an Artes / Nicolas Barnum
While early dictionaries of Indigenous languages in New Spain have received consistent scholarly attention, the early grammars (artes) have, until recently, been dismissed as error-filled, prescriptivist texts. In other words, previous scholars have argued that these grammars did not accurately describe Indigenous languages because of their reliance on Latin grammatical frameworks. However, scholars of missionary linguistics, a subfield of historical linguistics, began to challenge this notion in the 1990s.
