The Central Andean Origin of the Aimara LanguageTraditionally, it has been thought, especially on the Bolivian side, the Andean High Plateau as the original homeland of the Aymara language. What is more, it has been maintained that this language could have been spoken by the Tiahuanaco civilization founders. In this paper attempt will be made in order to show the Central Andean provenience of Aymara, and therefore its relatively recent occupation of the Peru-Bolivian High Plateau, thus questioning its correlation with Tiahuanaco. The main argument in support of this hypothesis (otherwise formulated previously by scholars such as Middendorf) comes from diachronic processes of Proto-Aymara branching and further evolution into its modern dialects. / Tradicionalmente, en especial en el lado boliviano, se acepta como un hecho el origen altiplánico del aimara. Es más, se ha sostenido que la lengua de Tiahuanaco habría sido esta. En este trabajo se buscará demostrar, teniendo en cuenta los estudios diacrónicos recientes, que el aimara es una lengua de procedencia centroandina y de ocupación relativamente tardía en el territorio collavino, y que, consecuentemente, mal podría asociársela con el desarrollo y expansión de la civilización tiahuanaquense. Por consiguiente, habrá que pensar en otras alternativas lingüísticas para la zona altiplánica.

Sendo assim, A voz feminina na literatura de ascendência africana: Hibridismo de mitos e ritos nos romances Niketche de Paulina Chiziane e A cor púrpura de Alice Walker é um estudo que aponta reflexões literário-culturais a respeito da construção das identidades presentes nestas obras. A pesquisa centra-se na construção do sujeito por meio do seu discurso e na relação que estabelecem com imagens marcantes na busca da alteridade a saber o espelho, desdobrado na carta, e a cama além de apontar a problemática dos mitos e ritos como matrizes para uma nova voz marcada pelo hibridismo cultural e alicerçada na oralidade. Enfim, a pesquisa ambiciona esboçar as semelhanças e diferenças no que tange a opressão e exclusão de vozes marginais no caso a voz feminina e de ascendência africana analisando-as naquilo em que elas têm de desafiador e transgressor perante os pressupostos eurocêntricos, patriarcais e teológicos, apresentados nestas obras
