Media reconfiguration in a decolonial key

the indigenous radio XEANT, the Voice of the Huastecas, Mexico

Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyze and reflect on the way in which indigenous people appropriate government communication spaces through communal root practices. We took into consideration the ethnographic description of the of the Anniversary of the Indigenous Broadcasting Station XEANT celebration, which belongs to the Mexican State. This celebration is a ritual event that allows to analyze the way in which indigenous people implement the socio-communicative practices with which they continue to trace their historical project through linking  principles, as opposed to Western, capitalist, white and patriarchal civilizational project, supported by excluding binary epistemological bases. We conclude that indigenous people maintain their life purposes through the appropriation of government spaces where they can manifest bonding practices that suggest their organizational communicative forms.
