The Tintiando en La Aurora project seeks to collect and disseminate the stories of the Caldas oral tradition that arise in the coffee farms of the state and to make known the socio-cultural practices of this population. From the audio corpus compiled (Coffee Conversational Narratives) and later examined according to the model of William Labov (1988), it was possible to understand and describe the linguistic and sociocultural aspects that underlie the collected narratives. Input and output surveys were applied to verify the degree of knowledge of Modern Languages students about these stories and other cultural elements. As a result, bibliographic material is created and socialized through the modality of workshops, which disseminates and protects the Caldas coffee cultural heritage. Finally, new resources are obtained to preserve and disseminate this knowledge and motivate its appropriation for students' personal and professional training. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research article presents considerations about aspects such as space and identity in the speech of male and female individuals from Tunja. The questions approached in this document include: how do men and women identify themselves with places? What do they value in their environment? How are their feelings expressed with respect to place? What kinds of places do they create? What kind of space is culturally assigned to them? What type of discourse do they construct in accordance with the place assigned to them? Hence, this research aimed at describing the imaginaries appearing in discourse uttered by these speakers, related to the conception they have of their living space and their identity. First of all, a succinct inquiry into gender and space relationships was carried out. Next, some concepts of space and identity were restructured and finally, the imaginaries found in the speech of men and women from Tunja were correlated with space and identity, through the categories of neighborhood, house, city and rural areas.
