How would you assess the situation of Basque historical archives? The Basque historical archives, those constituted by documents of solely historical interest, were born as early as the 15th Century. Skimming over the history of Euskadi until today, the main reference appeared in the Hshape of the Basque Cultural Heritage Act, approved in 1990, and which readjusted the archivistic panorama. The result of this Act was the creation of Irargi, the Basque Government Documentary Archive and Heritage Center, responsible for designing and developing an archive policy in Euskadi. On the other hand, the three Regional Governments and the plans are currently underway to create a "Basque Government of Spain maintain ownership and authority digital memory" program, resulting from coordination in their respective areas, while the local and integration of the action taken by the different administrations are gradually setting up their own agents involved (archives, libraries, document centers, archive services. The panorama is rounded off by museums) dedicated to the preservation of cultural privately-owned archives, such as those belonging to the heritage and its digital diffusion. Catholic Church, archives belonging to entities of historical tradition such as the Royal Basque Society of What is the meaning of the role played by archives Friends of the Country, archives belonging to families as far as identity is concerned? and company archives.

Year 2005 THE BASQUE ARCHIVES, A SOURCE OF IDENTITY The Basque archives, open to globalization The Basque Documentary Heritage Center, located in Bergara, Gipuzkoa, and dependent on the Basque Government’s Department of Culture, is responsible for all Basque archives, except for those corresponding to the three regional governments, which each have their own systems. Borja Aginagalde is the Director of this Archive Service responsible for public, private and church archives. Ever since its creation in 1986, the Documentary Heritage Center has been channeling efforts into three main areas: the creation of a National Archive, an archive digitalization project making information accessible online, and the creation of a stable archive network.

    PREVENTING TERRORISM?

Conflict Resolution and Nationalist Violence in the Basque Country Ioannis Tellidis Thesis submitted for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY In the School of International Relations, UNIVERSITY OF ST. ANDREWS September 2007 i Abstract This study examines the debates on nationalism, terrorism and conflict resolution, and intends to identify, on the one hand, the reasons why and the instances in which nationalist discourses usurp the notions of political violence and present it as a legitimate option for opposing a State, and on the other, whether there exist circumstances where conflict resolution techniques and approaches can be useful in isolating terrorist discourses from the nationalist ones, without necessarily criminalising the latter. The study employs a critical and discourse analysis approach to explaining ethno-nationalist and terrorist phenomena, arguing that a contextualisation of the nationalist and terrorist objects of study is necessary in order to comprehensively analyse the relationship between the two, and the instances where the former gives rise to the latter. The purpose of the study is to develop a theoretical framework for the understanding of nationalism and terrorism as interconnected practices, and looks into ways in which conflict resolution can intervene and prevent the infusion of the two.

  • NESTOR BASTERRETXEA. BIOGRAFIA AUTOR Nacido En
    NESTOR BASTERRETXEA. BIOGRAFIA AUTOR Nacido en Bermeo (1924), la Guerra Civil española empuja a su familia a un temprano exilio en 1936, residiendo en diversos lugares de Francia hasta 1941. El estallido de un nuevo conflicto, la II Guerra Mundial, le deparará un segundo exilio que les conduce a Buenos Aires, Argentina (1942). Sus cualidades naturales en la técnica del dibujo le permitieron desarrollar una formación autodidacta y el acceso a su primer trabajo; con apenas 20 años obtuvo su primer empleo en ultramar como dibujante publicitario. En 1952 hace un viaje personal a Europa y retoma el contacto con Jorge Oteiza. Animado por este se presentará al concurso de los Murales de la Cripta de la nueva Basílica de Arantzazu (Oñate), donde trabaja ya el propio Oteiza. Al ganar el concurso se ponían a su disposición unos 650 m² de superficie total repartidos en 18 murales. Este es uno de los capítulos más agri-dulces de la vida del artista, ya que supuso un gran espaldarazo profesional enfrentarse a este encargo pero cuyo capítulo final provocaría un gran disgusto. Trabajó en ellos con entusiasmo durante más de dos años, pero se cerró en falso al suprimir la orden franciscana, en una sola noche, la mayor parte de su trabajo por considerar el resultado inadecuado. En palabras de Edorta Kortadi se trataba de “Bocetos de carácter simbólico expresionista siempre sobre una poética cubista heredada de los pintores vascos de preguerra y de Picasso, […] base de aquella pintura recia y construida que él había proyectado para los muros”. Su rabioso expresionismo no fue entendido por los promotores eclesiásticos.

  • Catholic Mediation in the Basque Peace Process: Questioning the Transnational Dimension
    religions Article Catholic Mediation in the Basque Peace Process: Questioning the Transnational Dimension Xabier Itçaina 1,2 1 CNRS—Centre Emile Durkheim, Sciences Po Bordeaux, 11 allée Ausone, 33607 Pessac, France; [email protected] 2 GEZKI, University of the Basque Country, 20018 San Sebastian, Spain Received: 30 March 2020; Accepted: 17 April 2020; Published: 27 April 2020 Abstract: The Basque conflict was one of the last ethnonationalist violent struggles in Western Europe, until the self-dissolution in 2018 of ETA (Euskadi ta Askatasuna, Basque Country and Freedom). The role played by some sectors of the Roman Catholic Church in the mediation efforts leading to this positive outcome has long been underestimated, as has the internal pluralism of the Church in this regard. This article specifically examines the transnational dimension of this mediation, including its symbolic aspect. The call to involve the Catholic institution transnationally was not limited to the tangible outcomes of mediation. The mere fact of involving transnational religious and non-religious actors represented a symbolic gain for the parties in the conflict struggling to impose their definitions of peace. Transnational mediation conveyed in itself explicit or implicit comparisons with other ethnonationalist conflicts, a comparison that constituted political resources for or, conversely, unacceptable constraints upon the actors involved. Keywords: Basque conflict; nationalism; Catholic Church; Holy See; transnational mediation; conflict resolution 1. Introduction The Basque conflict was one of the last ethnonationalist violent struggles in Western Europe, until the definitive ceasefire (2011), decommissioning (2017), and self-dissolution (2018) of the armed organization ETA (Euskadi ta Askatasuna, Basque Country and Freedom).

  • Ethnicity and Identity in a Basque Borderland, Rioja Alavesa, Spain
    ETHNICITY AND IDENTITY IN A BASQUE BORDERLAND: RIOJA ALAVESA, SPAIN By BARBARA ANN HENDRY A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1991 Copyright 1991 by Barbara Ann Hendry ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The help of numerous individuals in Spain and the United States enabled me to complete this dissertation— it is difficult to adequately acknowledge them all in these few short pages. To begin, without the generous hospitality, friendship, and assistance of many people in Rioja and Rioja Alavesa in 1985 and 1987, this research would not have been possible. For purposes of confidentiality, I will not list individual names, but, thank all of those in Albelda de Iregua, San Vicente de la Sonsierra, Brihas, Elciego, Laguardia, and, especially, Lapuebla de Labarca, who graciously let me share in their lives. Friends in the city of Logroho were also supportive, especially Charo Cabezon and Julio Valcazar. Stephanie Berdofe shared her home during my first weeks in the field, and buoyed my spirits and allayed my doubts throughout the fieldwork. Carmelo Lison Tolosana welcomed me to Spain and introduced me to several of his students. Maribel Fociles Rubio and Jose Lison Areal discussed their respective studies of identity in Rioja and Huesca, and helped me to formulate the interview schedule I used in Rioja Alavesa. They, and Jose's wife. Pilar, provided much warm hospitality during several brief trips to Madrid. iii The government administrators I interviewed in Rioja Alavesa and Vitoria were cooperative and candid.
