Historia de la resistencia lingüística en Asturias (1974-2022). Una aproximación desde los Estudios para la Paz

Abstract

This research studies the historical process of the social movement for the linguistic officiality in the Principality of Asturias from 1974 to the present. The research, of a qualitative nature, uses the theoretical framework of both, Peace and Civil Resistance Studies as well as Sociolinguistics, with the aim of building a bridge between both disciplines. As a data collection method, mainly use the bibliographic review and the realization of 5 qualitative and semi-structured interviews. The results show a large number of resistances and peacebuilding processes that can be added within a process of nonviolent transformation of the linguistic and cultural conflict found in the Principality. These processes are characterized by various factors, among them, a generational change that has allowed the entry of new cultural processes dedicated to the fight for the dignity of the Asturian language.
