Abstract

YARZA DE LOS RIOS, Alexander. Aɨdaɨza and baa wa waljai wa wa: Stories, Visions, and Frameworks on "Disability" from two Indigenous Worlds in Colombia. Nómadas [online]. 2020, n.52, pp.81-95. ISSN 0121-7550.  https://doi.org/10.30578/nomadas.n52a5.

This article describes some interconnections or dynamic frameworks around "disability" of two indigenous worlds in Colombia, the Murui Muina-Mɨnɨka (Amazonas) and the Êbêra Eyábida (Antioquia), using as reference their stories of origin and their concepts within their ancestral language (aɨdaɨza and baa wa wa / jai wa wa, respectively). The text explores some singularities in each world from the anthropoecogenic and theoecogenic perspectives, which differ from and interfere with the paradigms of the modern / colonial matrix around "disability".

Keywords : Disability; Ethnicity-Indigenousness; Emerging Paradigms; Ancestral Knowledge; Native Languages; Decoloniality.
