The topic is approached through the analysis of metaphors and other lexicalised items stemming from a variety of historical sources used to frame the Indies. First, we discuss and summarise current trends and developments in ecolinguistics. Second, we outline the basic aspects of an ecological and diachronically sensible theory of metaphor that third is applied to paradigmatic examples taken from our corpus of historical sources. The final section outlines the results and explores how a diachronic perspective in ecolinguistics holds the potential to function as an add-on in the context of environmental research.

Fundamental topics on the thread between society, politics, development and the environment will be addressed, such as the development agenda’s language on people and the environment, social and academic discourses on gender, identity, indigeneity and the land, “hope movements” issues, environmental and human rights, economic, ecological and social justice, and natural and cultural resources’ conservation and sustainability in the light of climate change, poverty, dignity and well-being (buen vivir). Papers will theoretically and methodologically contribute towards our understanding of how Latin American communities are prefiguring these joint perspectives, and how international scholars are discussing and framing them.

Also, the growing of social, alternative, indigenous, collective, rural and urban “hope movements” involving both cultural and environmental perspectives in their claims for an inclusive wellbeing is fostering innovative ways of looking at this complex landscape. Why is it necessary to join nature and culture studies, especially as regards Latin America? How are scholars from correlated research areas reflecting on this? What specific case studies are being analyzed? Which new discourses are created? Which main strands are emerging? How can we apply these examples to other areas of the world? And finally, how can we take this further?
