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?</p>
