  • Sobre Salvatierra De Esca, Aragón Y El Euskera Juan Karlos Lopez-Mugartza Iriarte
    Sobre Salvatierra de Esca, Aragón y el euskera Juan Karlos Lopez-Mugartza Iriarte En el turno de preguntas que siguió a la defensa de mi tesis doctoral se citó el artícu- lo de Jesús María Sasía “Más sobre toponimia euskérica...” aparecido en la revista Euskera (número 44, 1999-2) en el que se hacía referencia a la relación que existía en el siglo XIX entre el euskera y la población altoaragonesa de Salvatierra de Esca (provincia de Zaragoza). La referencia a ese artículo parecía obligada ya que en mi tesis se citaba expresamente esa población al tiempo que manifestaba mi extrañeza por el hecho de que la mayoría de los mapas lingüísticos que han dibujado el retroce- so del euskera han solido hacer coincidir el último confín del euskera con el límite oriental de Navarra desde épocas muy remotas. En efecto, una lectura errónea del mapa que Menéndez Pidal diseñara sobre la extensión de los dialectos ibéricos en el Pirineo ha traído consigo que muchos estudiosos hayan supuesto que el euskera de- sapareció de las tierras en las que se desarrolló el romance aragonés más o menos ha- cia el siglo VIII. Efectivamente, en mi tesis señalaba que me parecía muy poco probable que una población como Salvatierra de Esca, apareciera como no vascófona ya desde época tan temprana; sobre todo teniendo en cuenta su situación geográfica a tan sólo cuatro kilómetros de Castillonuevo1, en el fondo del valle que domina esa población, y en la entrada obligada del tráfico de almadías que viene de Roncal, valle con el que limi- ta, comparte pastos en Sasi y Virgen de la Peña, y tiene acuerdos de recorridos de mugas desde tiempos inmemoriales.

    Neveros de Navarra. Conservación y comercio de nieve y hielo ANTXON AGUIRRE SORONDO Quando cae es de hermosa y graciosa vista, por que cae en copos blanquísimos y cae blandamente, sin tempestad, ni aire, festeja a las gentes cuando cae con sus pellas; no hace daño a nadie, que si endure- ce la tierra, ella cuando se derrite la emblandece y engrasa, matando las yerbas malas, haciendo fructificar y crecer las buenas. Como dice Aule Gelio y por esto dicen, ‘Año de Nieves, año de bienes’ Doctor Mornardes (1580)1 INTRODUCCIÓN a investigación que aquí comienza se estructura en dos partes. En la pri- L mera se aborda el aprovechamiento de la nieve y el hielo para diversos fi- nes desde la Prehistoria hasta la edad contemporánea. Su explotación comer- cial y su valor socioeconómico son objeto de somero análisis. Se describen los hoyos de almacenamiento, los neveros, con sus principales tipologías. La segunda parte de la investigación recoge un censo de neveros en Na- varra con pormenor de sus características. Es la primera vez que se aborda es- ta sistematización, y por ello somos conscientes de sus limitaciones; pero es- timamos que sobre este ladrillo podrán colocarse otros en el futuro al objeto de ir levantando el edificio del censo total de neveros de Navarra. 1 MONARDES, Doctor, Libro que trata de la Nieve y de sus propiedades, y del modo que se ha de tener, en el bever enfriado con ella, y de los otros modos que ay de enfriar, con otras curiosidades que daran contento, por las co- sas antiguas y dinas de saber, que cerca de esta materia, en el se veran, Sevilla, Hernando Díaz, 1580, p.

EMBODIED CONTESTATION: ALTERNATIVE RITUAL CONCLUSIONS ON THE CAMINO DE SANTIAGO by CLARE VAN HOLM Under the Direction of Kathryn McClymond, PhD ABSTRACT Despite its nearly thousand year history as a Christian penitent ritual, the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage has undergone rapid transformation in the last three decades, attracting a specific community of people who see themselves as “authentic” Camino pilgrims. Upon arrival at the shrine of Santiago, the traditional end of the pilgrimage route, many pilgrims express feelings of dissatisfaction. Drawing upon field research and interviews, this paper analyzes the practices of pilgrims along the Camino de Santiago route, at the shrine in Santiago de Compostela, and at the alternative conclusion site in the Galician coastal town of Finisterre. I argue that pilgrim dissatisfaction relates to pilgrim experiences in Santiago that are incongruous with their pilgrimage up until that point. In response, pilgrims have created alternative ritual conclusions that more closely relate to their experience on the Camino route and affirm their identity as “authentic” pilgrims.

  • On the Surnames of Latin American Presidents
    BASQUE LEGACY IN THE NEW WORLD: ON THE SURNAMES OF LATIN AMERICAN PRESIDENTS Patxi Salaberri Iker Salaberri UPNA / NUP UPV / EHU Abstract In this article we explain the etymology of the surnames of Basque origin that some presidents of Latin American countries have or have had in the past. These family names were created in the language called Euskara, in the Basque Country (Europe), and then, when some of the people who bore them emigrated to America, they brought their sur- names with them. Most of the family names studied here are either oiconymic or topo- nymic, but it must be kept in mind that the oiconymic ones are, very often, based on house-nicknames, that is, they are anthroponymic in the first place. As far as possible, we have related the surname, when its origin is oiconymic or toponymic, to its source, i.e. to the house or place where it was created. Key words: Basque, etymology, family name, Latin America, oiconym, placename, nickname. Laburpena Artikulu honetan Erdialdeko eta Hego Amerikako herrialdeetako presidente batzuek dituzten eta izan dituzten euskal jatorriko deituren etimologia azaltzen dugu. Abizenok euskararen barnean sortu ziren, Euskal Herrian, eta euskaldunek Ameriketara emigratu zutelarik eraman zituzten berekin. Aztertzen diren deitura gehienak etxe edo toki ize- nak dira, baina aintzat hartu behar da oikonimikoek, askotan, etxe izengoitietan dutela sorburu, hots, antroponimikoak zirela hasmentan. Ahal izan dugunean abizena iturria- rekin lotu dugu, etorkiz etxe edo leku izena zenean, alegia, deitura sortu zen etxe edo le- kuarekin batu dugu. Giltza hitzak: Euskara, etimologia, deitura, Hego eta Erdialdeko Amerika, etxe izena, leku izena, izengoitia.
