INDIGENOUS LANGUAGES IN THE PRODUCTION OF ACADEMIC KNOWLEDGE: A CRITICAL REVIEW FROM THE ARGENTINE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM

Abstract

This article analyzes the indigenous languages in the production of academic knowledge based on a critical review carried out from the Argentine university system. Thus, we advanced in an analysis of the Study Plan of the Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educación at  Universidad Nacional de La Plata (Argentina). This particular case allows us to carry out a greater analysis of the place of languages, and in particular of indigenous languages, in university education. Finally, this analysis allows us to investigate the absence of indigenous languages (and also of their literature and historical knowledge) from university curricula.
