Abstract	This paper presents language as a scenario where the word in its multiple manifestations constitutes a symbolic field around which reality is constructed (as it is not unusual for someone to want to control it). It is briefly explained how in the processes of cultural plundering in Latin America, the word as a technology of power was taken by the barbarians to subjugate and steal the peoples of Abya-Yala (1). To exemplify the resistance that occurs in language, some photographs of murals, graffiti and artistic interventions corresponding to the social outbreak in Colombia in 2021 are selected. And two examples of reading education programs that link political memory. However, in the struggle for the domination of words and the need to say, there is a resistance to the plundering of language that aims to take back the word, to resist the silencing of subaltern voices and to guarantee human rights. Thus, the act of resisting the violent dispossession of words is presented as a question of dignity, which is directed towards forms of communal organization where, through language, spaces can be promoted to uphold life, the human condition (2). (As Provided).
