Filosofía y lenguaje en el idioma quechua: cómo ciertas categorías culturales del mundo andino son expresadas mediante formas gramaticales
El pensamiento y la cosmovisión andina están conformados por categorías culturales como la noción de complementariedad o de los pares contrarios; el predominio de lo colectivo sobre lo individual; la idea de la muerte como retorno; la gravitación de las emociones en los actos del ser humano, etc. Estas categorías son expresadas en el idioma quechua a través de formas gramaticales (sufijos). El evento abordará este tema que forma parte de un libro (work in progress) que Odi Gonzales, profesor de Lengua y Cultura Quechua de NYU, escritor e investigador de la tradición oral quechua, viene preparando.
