摘要
This article draws on notions of networked
and multiscalar globalities to explore recent developments around
indigenous and
Afro-Caribbean media in Nicaragua’s Atlantic Coast
region, whose inhabitants are reasserting their collective autonomy by
reinvigorating and reformulating a centuries-old
ideal of cosmopolitanism forged through a long history of intercultural
exchange
and the indigenization of foreign elements. The
authors argue that their activities are advancing the development of
convergent
cultures associated with counterinscriptions of a
grassroots globalization and the expansion of contexts in which new
forms
of indigenous and Afro-Caribbean cultural
citizenship can emerge and become effective. Hence, mediated practices
of cultural
persistence on Nicaragua’s Mosquito Coast intensify
and broaden the revivification and circulation of relational, nonmodern
ontologies whose epistemic force contributes to
wider Latin American movements for social transformation and illustrates
in
new ways the importance and the potential of
indigenous media operations and the intercultural global networks within
which
they are implicated.
