[English version follows]

Hola ecuatorianistas,

Unos anuncios y recordatorios para comenzar la semanaâ€¦

1) MembresÃa: Tenemos la meta de hacer crecer la secciÃ³n. Para mantener los miembros que ya tenemos, ustedes tienen que reinscribirse en la secciÃ³n cuando renuevan su membresÃa de LASA. Esto se puede hacer aquÃ: https://lasa.international.pitt.edu/auth/jru/<https://ucmail.uc.edu/owa/redir.aspx?REF=O-FPg93cffH2v7R1XpeqAa6TunLGroLuk1hzWAylTnBa9Od5HUnUCAFodHRwczovL2xhc2EuaW50ZXJuYXRpb25hbC5waXR0LmVkdS9hdXRoL2pydS8.>
Para ampliar la base de miembros, necesitamos invitar a nuestras amistades, colegas, y contactos a unirse a la secciÃ³n. Una invitaciÃ³n personal de ustedes como miembros actuales vale mÃ¡s que cualquier invitaciÃ³n oficial que yo difunda. Por favor, renueven su membresÃa en LASA y la secciÃ³n, e inviten a nuevas personas a formar parte de nuestra secciÃ³n.

2) Premio de artÃculo: Sus nominaciones pueden ser entregadas hasta el 17 de febrero. Contactos: jramos at holycross.edu<mailto:jramos at holycross.edu> y carlos.gallegosanda at anu.edu.au<mailto:carlos.gallegosanda at anu.edu.au>

3) Actividades en el Congreso de Lima: Tenemos varias actividades planificadas para ustedes en Lima.
La ReuniÃ³n de la SecciÃ³n serÃ¡ el sÃ¡bado, 29 de abril de 20:00 a 20:45. Es importante porque en esa reuniÃ³n hacemos los planes para el prÃ³ximo congreso y otras programaciones.

Yo entiendo que LASA ha planificado un concierto para la misma noche a partir de las 20:30â€¦ he hablado con ellos y no estÃ¡n dispuestos a cambiar el concierto para acomodar las reuniones de las secciones. Vamos a intentar hacer una reuniÃ³n breve para que puedan asistir al concierto tambiÃ©n. Gracias por su comprensiÃ³n.

Si no tenemos asistencia suficiente (quÃ³rum), se pone en riesgo la existencia de la secciÃ³n. Tenemos que colaborar todos para que siga existiendo este grupo dedicado a temas ecuatorianos.

La RecepciÃ³n de la SecciÃ³n serÃ¡ el domingo, 30 de abril de 20:15 a 21:45. Aprovechen la oportunidad de conocer a mÃ¡s ecuatorianistas y compartir el momento del Congreso juntos. Â¡Espero verlos ahÃ!

El Panel Auspiciado por la SecciÃ³n serÃ¡ el lunes, 1ero de mayo de 12:00 a 13:45. Tenemos un panel fabuloso sobre idioma y cultura en Ecuador: Knowing through Indigenous Verbal Art: Production, transmission, and transformation of local knowledges.

Resumen: This panel considers how Ecuadorian Quichua verbal artistry continues to be an important medium for knowledge production and transmission at a time when well-intentioned language revitalization strategies are often disconnected from local practices. What are the intersections of lived experience and ancestral knowledge, between truth and factuality? What insights do linguistic features, speech pragmatics, and discursive content provide into the ways that Quichua speakers (re)produce various kinds of knowledge? How is knowledge made legible in interaction? How does verbal artistry trouble literacy/orality divide in knowledge production? Finally, how are new knowledge forms and spheres of use shaping indigenous verbal art?

4)  Anuncios: Si tienen algÃºn anuncio de convocatoria o publicaciÃ³n nueva, etc. pueden enviÃ¡rmelos a: erynn.casanova at uc.edu<https://ucmail.uc.edu/owa/redir.aspx?REF=ghb3cpLrtVfUj3wIXNqs-lxdw6c6rpnW-RwmREESqee6Vep5HUnUCAFtYWlsdG86ZXJ5bm4uY2FzYW5vdmFAdWMuZWR1>

Greetings Ecuadorianists,

A few announcements and reminders to start off the weekâ€¦

1) Membership: Our goal is to grow the section. To keep the members we have already, you need to renew your membership in the section when you renew your LASA membership. You can do this online here: https://lasa.international.pitt.edu/auth/jru/<https://ucmail.uc.edu/owa/redir.aspx?REF=qJpUbFAyqm2sPbzsWKXlADsNUSMPrfoENOQ1XAhftpm6Vep5HUnUCAFodHRwczovL2xhc2EuaW50ZXJuYXRpb25hbC5waXR0LmVkdS9hdXRoL2pydS8.>
To broaden our membership base, we all need to invite our friends, colleagues, and contacts to join the section. A personal invitation from you as current members is more valuable than any official invitation that I can send out. Please, renew your LASA membership and your section membership, and invite new people to become part of the section.

2) Article Prize: Nominations are accepted until February 17.

Contact: jramos at holycross.edu<mailto:jramos at holycross.edu> y carlos.gallegosanda at anu.edu.au<mailto:carlos.gallegosanda at anu.edu.au>

3)  Activities at the Lima Congress: We have several activities planned for you all in Lima.
The Section Meeting will be Saturday, April 29 from 8:00 to 8:45 pm. It is important because in this meeting we make plans for the next Congress and for other programs and activities.

I understand that LASA has planned a concert for the same evening at 8:30â€¦ I have been in contact with them and they are unwilling to change the concert time to accommodate the section meetings. We are going to try to have a short meeting so that you all can go to the concert too. Thank you for understanding.

If we donâ€™t have enough attendance (quorum), it puts the existence of the section at risk. We all have to work together so that this group dedicated to Ecuadorian topics can survive.

The Section Reception will be Sunday, April 30 from 8:15 to 9:45 pm. Take advantage of the opportunity to meet more Ecuadorianists and celebrate the Congress together. I hope to see you all there!

The Section-Sponsored Panel will be Monday, May 1 from 12:00 to 1:45 pm. We have a fabulous panel about language and culture in Ecuador: Knowing through Indigenous Verbal Art: Production, transmission, and transformation of local knowledges.

Abstract: This panel considers how Ecuadorian Quichua verbal artistry continues to be an important medium for knowledge production and transmission at a time when well-intentioned language revitalization strategies are often disconnected from local practices. What are the intersections of lived experience and ancestral knowledge, between truth and factuality? What insights do linguistic features, speech pragmatics, and discursive content provide into the ways that Quichua speakers (re)produce various kinds of knowledge? How is knowledge made legible in interaction? How does verbal artistry trouble literacy/orality divide in knowledge production? Finally, how are new knowledge forms and spheres of use shaping indigenous verbal art?

4)  Announcements: If you have an announcement such as a call for papers or a new publication, etc., you can send them to me at: erynn.casanova at uc.edu<https://ucmail.uc.edu/owa/redir.aspx?REF=ghb3cpLrtVfUj3wIXNqs-lxdw6c6rpnW-RwmREESqee6Vep5HUnUCAFtYWlsdG86ZXJ5bm4uY2FzYW5vdmFAdWMuZWR1>
