The Basque language, Euskara, is one of Europe's most ancient tongues and a vital part of today's lively Basque culture. Reclaiming Basque examines the ideology, methods, and discourse of the Basque-language revitalization movement over the course of the past century and the way this effort has unfolded alongside the simultaneous Basque nationalist struggle for autonomy. Jacqueline Urla employs extensive long-term fieldwork, interviews, and close examination of a vast range of documents in several media to uncover the strategies that have been used to preserve and revive Euskara and the various controversies that have arisen among Basque-language advocates.

Extrait: \"Lorsque le Basque est étonné par la vue de quelque chose d'inusité et de bizarre, il emploie un proverbe que l'on peut traduire ainsi: « Celui qui veut voir de drôles de choses doit venir dans ce monde. » Nous pourrions parfois placer à propos ce proverbe en écoutant raconter certaines vieilles légendes du pays basque, en constatant le persistance d'usages dont on a de la peine à découvrir la raison d'être et l'origine.\" À PROPOS DES ÉDITIONS LIGARAN: Les éditions LIGARAN proposent des versions numériques de grands classiques de la littérature ainsi que des livres rares, dans les domaines suivants: • Fiction: roman, poésie, théâtre, jeunesse, policier, libertin. • Non fiction: histoire, essais, biographies, pratiques.

How does the European Union affect devolution and nationalist conflict in member states? Does the EU reduce the scope of regional self-government or enhance it? Does it promote conflict or cooperation among territorial entities? These are pressing questions in Spanish politics, where devolution has been an important tool for managing nationalist disputes, and for the Basque Country, where protracted and sometimes violent nationalist conflicts persist. Addressing these issues, this book explores prospects for an autonomous Basque role in EU politics; institutional arrangements for autonomous community participation in EU decision making; Basque government alliances with other regions and the EU's supranational bodies; EU incentives for collaboration among Basque and central state authorities; the impact of EU decisions on politically sensitive Basque competencies; and the incidence of EU issues in nationalist disputes. It presents a new theoretical framework for analysing the impact of the EU on regional power and will be of interest to students, researchers and general observers of Basque, Spanish and EU politics.

In 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, four thousand children escaped by ship from Bilbao and were given sanctuary in Britain. The book focuses on the experiences of the exiles who came to Wales where four Homes were established; it includes several first-hand accounts from surviving refugees. In one camp unrest by some of the boys became headline news, but overwhelmingly the children’s experiences were of generosity and solidarity from ordinary people, even though Wales was itself suffering from extreme poverty.

Este libro reflexiona sobre las representaciones y tensiones en las relaciones culturales entre los Estados Unidos y el País Vasco. La puesta en marcha del Museo Guggenheim Bilbao (1997) demostró fehacientemente las diversas capacidades de capital simbólico que se ponían en juego en la sociedad vasca. Los trabajos que aquí se presentan analizan los distintos elementos de identidad cultural que se debaten hoy en día. En la primera parte se ofrece una interpretación de las imágenes que los vascos han producido en la literatura escrita en los Estados Unidos. La segunda parte aborda la influencia de la cultura americana en la sociedad vasca actual. Se muestran nuevos caminos en el estudio de los sistemas culturales, de los que se obtiene una perspectiva que va más allá del análisis de la literatura y toma en cuenta otras prácticas artísticas, como la pintura y la escultura, el cine, el cómic, el arte transmedia y la canción. El libro se cierra con la aportación de tres conocidos creadores vascos que cuentan su experiencia en tierras americanas. [Texto de la editorial]

Curchin explores how, why and to what extent the peoples of Central Spain were integrated into the Roman Empire during the period from the second century BC to the second century AD.He approaches the question from a variety of angles, including the social, economic, religious and material experiences of the inhabitants as they adjusted to change, the mechanisms by which they adopted new structures and values, and the power relations between Rome and the provincials. The book also considers the peculiar cultural features of Central Spain, which made its Romanization so distinctive.

La cerámica celtibérica, especialmente la numantina, ha sido objeto de estudio desde principios del siglo XX, despertando un notable interés entre destacados investigadores de la época. Aunque a lo largo de los años se han publicado diversas tipologías específicas, se carecía de una clasificación general que integrara las distintas formas identificadas en las investigaciones. Este trabajo ofrece un compendio actualizado de las formas de cerámica celtibérica, que incluye un análisis de los tipos cerámicos, con énfasis en sus características tipológicas, así como en la distribución, tecnología y funcionalidad de los grupos elaborados tanto a mano como a torno.

El objeto de este trabajo es la presentación de varios fragmentos inéditos de cinco estelas procedentes de Lara de los Infantes. Dos de ellos conforman una pieza cuadrangular que formó parte de una estela de dimensiones considerables. Otros dos provienen de sendas estelas discoideas, uno con una escena de guerrero y otro con un jinete con lanza. Un fragmento más procede de una estela de cabecera semicircular. El último de los fragmentos proviene de una estela discoidea con jinete, que quizás podría tratarse de una estela celtibérica. The purpose of this paper is to present several unpublished fragments of five stelae from Lara de los Infantes. Two of them form a quadrangular piece that was part of a stele of considerable dimensions. Two others come from discoidal stelae, one with a warrior scene and the other with a horseman with a spear. Another fragment comes from a stele with a semi-circular head. The last fragment comes from a discoid stele with a horseman, which could be a Celtiberian stele.
