Thomas Cooke (1807-1868) fisikari ezagunaren hitzok ezin egokiagoak iruditzen zaizkit Luis Mari Zalduaren Saroiak eta kortak lana ilustratzeko. Orain dela gutxira arte, ikerketa arkeologikoak oro har “garrantzitsu” edo “azpimarragarritzat” jo ditzakegun alderdiak aztertzera mugatzen ziren nagusiki. Duela hamarkada gutxi batzutatik hona, ordea, ikertzaileen belaunaldi berria sortu da, a priori "maila gutxikotzat" jotzen ziren elementuak aztertzeari ekin diona. Horrela, “Erdi Aroko arkeologia” garrantzitsua garatu da, eta baita “industria aurreko arkeologia” zein “arkeologia modernoa” ere, azken gerra zibil espainiarrean fusilaturikoen aztarnei metodo arkeologikoak aplikatuz. Hauen guztien emaitzak interesgarriak dira zinez. Ikertzaile berrien talde horretakoa dugu, hain zuzen ere, Luis Mari Zaldua. Liburu honetan aurkezten digun gaiari 15 urte baino gehiago eskaintzeko gauza izan da egile hau, etenik gabe, bere gogoeten heldutasunak garbi erakusten digun bezala. Edonola ere, obra honetan interesa pizten duena ez da aztergaia bakarrik, Saroiak eta kortak, orain arte apenas landutako arloa IX berau, baizik eta lanerako erabili duen tratamendua, erabat kontrajarriak eta, aldi berean, osagarriak diren bi ikuspegitara jo baitu: azterketa sinkronikora batetik, antzekotasunak dituzen elementuak bilatzeko, bai itxura fisikoaren aldetik, bai beste latitudeetan eman zaien erabilerari dagokionez; eta diakronikora bestetik, Historiaurretik hasi eta gaur arte. Horrez gain, diziplinarteko ikuskera erabili du, filologia, arkeologia, dokumentazio historikoa, etnografia zein topografiaz baliatu baita. Faktore hauen guztien emaitza dugu Saroiak eta kortak obra. Telesforo de Aranzadik behinola esan bezala: “Beste batzuek hobeto egingo zuketen, baina guk egin egin dugu”. Litekeena da denborarekin gai honen inguruko beste obra batzuk agertzea, ekarpen zientifiko handiagokoak beharbada —beti espero da halakorik—, baina ziurtatzen dizuet ez dela honako lan hau baino zehaztasun, ardura eta maitasun handiagoarekin egina izango. Antxon AGUIRRE SORONDO Donostia, 2006ko maiatzaren 1a, astelehena Langilearen eguna X Sarrera Hamar urte joan dira zorioneko Saroiak Urnietan argitaratu genuenetik. Ordutik hona hiruzpalau lan txiki baizik ez ditugu plazaratu, azkenekoa Oiartzun urtekariaren 36. zenbakian. Ezer gutxi. Urnietako Udalari esker, gure lehen ekarpenak (eta hankasartzeak) egiteko parada izan genuen estreinako lan hartan. Denborak ematen duen patxadarekin ikusita, asko zor diogu aurreneko eginahal hari. Izan ere, adiskide berriak ezagutu ditugu hari esker. Hau, berriz, lan akademiko baten ordezkoa da. Hasieran, lan hura egiten ari ginenean, buruak arnasa har zezan ekiten genion saroien ikerketari. Ez geneukan batere presarik; orain ere ez gehiegi. Bagenekien, eta badakigu, gaiaren aberastasunak erabat gainditzen gaituela, ez dugula nahiko denbora, ez orain, ezta etorkizunean. Egun batean, ordea, Jakue Belakoaren pasartearekin topo egin genuen eta... hara non bukatu dugun berriz: zurekin solasean, irakurle. Presaka bazabiltza, denbora gutxi badaukazu, zoaz zuzenean azken atalera, han aurkituko duzu-eta behar duzun laburpena. Nolanahi ere dela, datuen premia baduzu, barruan begiratu, atalez atal. Saroien auzia mendialdeko antzinako gizarteari buruzko testua da, liburu bat, gizaldietan zehar hainbat tokitako lekukotasunekin idatzi dena, eta hitz eder bezain ezezagunek osatzen dutena: hausterretza, artamugarri, unamaizter, eli-jaun, gorabila, hamalauoin. Hitzen ondoan irudiak daude: gurutzeak +, izarrak *, biribilak . XI Aitortu beharrean gara hitz solte gutxi batzuk baino ez ditugula ulertu orain arte, eta irudi bat bera ere ez. Saroien testua ezin dugu irakurri, ezin dugu barneratu. Hori horrela delarik, zundaketa modukoa egiten saiatu gara, baina ez lurrean, hitzen eremuan baizik. Ulertzen ez diren hitzen esanahira iristeko dagoen bide bakarra hartu dugu guk ere: testuinguruari erreparatzea. Alabaina, artxiboetan maiz aski eskuratzen dena besterik ez dugu lortu: hitz solteak aurkitzea, testua ezer ulertu gabe. Diogun hemen primeran pasa dugula saroien liburutik ikasten, mendiko lezioetan batez ere. Egun xoragarriak gozatu ditugu. Elgoibarren hasi genuen urtebetetze hura datorkigu burura, edota Aveburyn izan ginenekoa. Liburutegi eta artxiboetan une ederrak bizi izan ditugu eta Interneten barrena ere bai. Hori guztia gutxi balitz, lagun berriak egin ditugu, Manu Arregi, Xavier Lopez de Munain, Iratxe Uriguen, Txema Arenzana, Luis Millán, Emilio Lizoain edota Joxe Mari Sanzberro kasu. Lehendik bagenituen beste batzuen adiskidetasuna noraino iristen den ere ikusi ahal izan dugu, Patxi Salaberri, Xavier Peñalver, Sonia San José, Roz Frank, Mikel Arbeloa edota Antxon (Aguirre) gurearena lekuko. Oinarri hutsetan gelditu behar ordea, handik aurrera urratsik egin gabe. Zein da ikorte-en et sario-en arteko lotura? Eta, hausterretzen eta artamugarrien artekoa? Nola esan ote zaio saroien erdiko guneari Nafarroan? Olak eta saroiak funtsean gauza bera al dira? Eta Nafarroako ikurrak, nolako zerikusia du zehatz-mehatz saroiekin? Sala- erroa sel-ekin al dago lotua? Zein da etimoa: sel, sar-? Galdera askoren erantzuna saroietan bertan dago, erdiko guneetan bereziki. Oroit gaitezen beti, hemen, Euskal Herrian, Pirinioen eremu sartaldekoan, saroiak idazkiak bezain zaharrak direla. Merezi du, beraz, ikertzea ez ezik, saroiak babestea, erdiko guneak bereziki, aurrerantzean ere guztiok ikertzen jarraitu ahal izateko, zuk, guk eta haiek, liburua irakurtzen segitzeko, mendialdeko antzinako gizartea ulertzeko. XII 11 Historiaurreko eraikin biribil handiak Europan barrena saroien aurrekari bila Henge-ak, causewayed camp-ak eta hillfort-ak “—¿De qué se trata? ¿Refugios para los pastores? —No. Son los hogares de nuestros antepasados.” A. Conan Doyle1. 1.1. Hasteko, Europa atlantiarrean dauden historiaurreko eraikin biribil handiak hartuko ditugu ahotan. Caro Baroja (1977: 180) da saroien eta historiaurreko eraikin biribil handien artean loturaren bat egon litekeela esaten duen aurrenekoa2. Berako ikertzailea ez da, 1 Honela jarraitzen du pasarteak: “El páramo estuvo muy poblado por el hombre prehistórico y, como nadie ha vueto a habitarlo con mucha densidad desde entonces, encontramos las cosas tal como las dejaron ellos”. Burutako testuak aukeratzea ez da erraza izan. El perro de los Baskerville idazlaneko hau ere oso gustukoa dugu: “El detalle más grotesco y outré es con frecuencia el que debe ser estudiado con mayor atención, y cuando parece que algo complica más que antes un caso, si se le estudia científica y sistemáticamente, normalmente suele ser la pista que ayuda a clarificarlo por completo.” 2 Hona zer idatzi zuen Los Pueblos del Norte de la Península Ibérica lanean: “Podría relacionarse la forma circular del <<sel>>, dispuesto en medio de un terreno arbolado, con su choza en el centro, con la forma de habitación más común en el S. de Inglaterra en la época de Estrabón. Según éste, IV, 5, 2; o 200, los pueblos britanos vivían en medio de los bosques en espacios circulares que habrían temporalmente (…). Claro es que aquí se habla de recintos mayores que el <<sel>>, con empalizadas y varias 1 halaz ere, Euskal Herriko saroiak eta Europako beste alderdi batzuetako eraikin biribilak lotzen dituen bakarra3. Aurrekari horiez gainera, badira bestelako arrazoiak Europako eraikin biribil handi antzinakoen eta saroien arteko balizko harremana mintzagai hartzeko. Hurrengo atalean aztertzen saiatuko garen saroien eta Euskal Herriko monumentu megalitikoen arteko harremana dago, adibidez. Garbi dago ezin litekeela Euskal Herriko historia ulertu inguruko herrietakoa ezagutu gabe,

Degree awarded September 2012 ii © 2012 Gretchen Louise Hill iii THESIS ABSTRACT Gretchen Louise Hill Master of Arts Department of Geography September 2012 Title: Inventing the Basque Block: Heritage Tourism and Identity Politics in Boise, Idaho This thesis examines the social, political, and economic underpinnings of creating a place for Basque immigrant descendants by the use of the Basque Block in downtown Boise, Idaho. In the past, unlike other immigrant groups in the United States, Basques lacked the desire to assimilate into the US and remained relatively invisible. Simultaneously, they created subtle ethnic communities and maintained transnational sociospatial ties with Basque Provinces in Europe. Today, these transnational ties are stronger, which has profoundly influenced the creation of the Basque Block. The Basques strive to maintain their heritage landscapes to retain their cultural identity and educate present and future generations about their unique legacy.

  • 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.

  • Towards a ‘Europe of Flows’? Discourse, Power and Space in the Development of a Transnational High-Speed Rail Line in the European Union
    Towards a ‘Europe of Flows’? Discourse, Power and Space in the Development of a Transnational High-Speed Rail Line in the European Union Thesis submitted by Diego Garcia Mejuto for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Planning Studies The Bartlett School of Planning University College London (UCL) Declaration I, Diego García Mejuto, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. London, 24 May 2015 2 Abstract The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the understanding of European integration through a focus on the politics surrounding transnational highspeed rail infrastructure. Although it has been argued that a discourse on the creation of a ‘Europe of Flows’ has become dominant in policy development, the spatial conflicts that this type of infrastructure involves and the wide array of political actors concerned cast doubts on the smooth development of such a space. The thesis aim is pursued through a critical approach that considers policy problems as socially constructed, seeks to reveal the power struggles in policy-making, and places space at the centre of the study of politics. Thus, an analytical framework that combines discourse analysis, social and political theories of power and a spatiallynuanced approach informed by human geography debates on scale and relationality was adopted and applied to the case of a cross-border and EU-relevant highspeed rail line in the Spanish Basque Country. The case study first demonstrates the existence of a hegemonic discourse on transport infrastructure development, which accommodated a variety of concerns according to different scalar frames and was produced and reproduced in state, private sector and mainstream media discursive arenas.

  • Vernacular and Academic Modes in Architecture and Town Planning
    PHIL & TECH 2:1 Fall 1996 Alonso, Arzoz, Ursua, Reflections on Architecture/3 REFLECTIONS ON ARCHITECTURE: VERNACULAR AND ACADEMIC MODES IN ARCHITECTURE AND TOWN PLANNING Andoni Alonso, Inaki Arzoz, and Nicanor Ursua, University of the Basque Country A house — in American thought — an apple, an American vineyard have nothing in common; house and apple have nothing in common with the plantings so thoroughly penetrated by the ancestors' hopes and concerns. Experienced and animated things, things which share our knowledge, decay and cannot any more be substituted for. Possibly we are the last ones to have experienced these things. Our responsibility is not only to preserve the memory of them (that would amount to little and be very uncertain); we must preserve their human, their "fireside" values. —Rainer Maria Rilke INTRODUCTION The paper which we present here is a brief theory-slanted summary of a work, "Contemporary Architecture and Town Planning." It was written by an interdisciplinary working group attached to the magazine, Texts de Critical Aesthetics, associated with the University of the Basque Country in Spain. After the earlier publication of a special issue, "Other Modern Architectures" (devoted to a critical analysis of modern architecture), and some reevaluations of marginal trends such as vernacular architecture, our group has developed a different line of investigation. The new focus is not only theoretical but practical, and we have been able, by looking at architectural changes, to explain the reasons for cultural changes at the end of the twentieth century. The essence of this paper is to provide some of our theoretical conclusions, which were arrived at by contrasting vernacular and academic ways of building.
