Diritti e doveri morali, attivismo e agency: oltre i confini cronotopici del griko


Abstract


In this chapter, I address issues of language ideologies that affect agency by presenting the case of Griko, or Salentine Greek, a Greek variety used in the Southern Italian province of Lecce (Salento) in the region of Apulia. I will argue that agency is constantly contested and negotiated among a multitude of social actors and enacted with reference to morality in its dual articulation: as the recognition of the moral right to represent Griko, and as a fulfilment of a perceived moral duty towards the language and its speakers, past and present.
