Resumen

 El estudio de los etnónimos —o nombres que identifican a grupos y comunidades— revela una interacción entre lenguaje, poder e identidad. Este trabajo introduce el concepto de contra-exónimos para analizar los actos de personas desde identidades marginalizadas que resisten categorizaciones impuestas. Los contra-exónimos son actos de nombramiento que delinean identidades percibidas como dominantes —ya sea manifiestas en individuos, grupos simbólicos o posturas discursivas— y que emergen de la disociación de haber sido construidos como otro (el exónimo), convirtiendo esa designación impuesta en un espacio para reescribir la narrativa. Como huella lingüística de estos actos, pueden tomarse como ejemplo “yori” (de identidad yoreme), “chabochi” (rarámuri) y “oyente” (lengua de señas). Se propone una perspectiva enactiva que concibe el lenguaje como un acontecimiento situado en la interacción vivida y no en un sustrato representacional, enfatizando la necesidad de estudios empíricos multimodales. Fundamentalmente, esta conceptualización se alinea con enfoques posdualistas que entienden las prácticas de nombramiento no como categorías referenciales, sino como patrones disipativos de significación: estabilizaciones momentáneas de sentido que emergen y se disuelven en interacciones situadas.
