linguistic landscape, chilean social uprising, graffiti, polyphony, discourse analysisAbstract
Based on a corpus of 1500 photographs of graffiti, posters, and other written texts, collected in November 2019 in different central neighbourhoods of Santiago, this paper analyses the imbrication between space, linguistic practices, and the process of the politicisation of protest. Firstly, the transgressive semiotics of graffiti (Pennycook, 2009) and its role in the process of de- and re-territorialisation will be explored; secondly, the analysis will focus on the phenomenon of discursive polyphony (Bakhtin, 1981; Ducrot, 1986). From this perspective, the Linguistic Landscape of the Chilean social uprising can be seen as a heteroglossic set of voices, in connection with the immediate context, with Chile’s past since the Pinochet dictatorship, and with global, past, and contemporary protest movements.
