Many of them are multilingual and also have text for example in Spanish or French. Only one of them has the rare language combination Swedish and Basque: Euskadi-bulletinen, which was published in 1975–1976 in solidarity with the independence movement in the Basque Country. This short-lived publication and its historical context are described in this article.1 Euskadi-bulletinen was published by Askatasuna ('freedom' in Basque), which described itself as a “committee for solidarity with the Basque people's struggle for freedom and socialism (1975:1, p. 24). “Euskadi” in the bulletin's title did not only refer to the three provinces Araba, Biscay and Gipuzkoa in northern Spain, but also to the neighbouring region Navarre and the three historical provinces Lapurdi, Lower Navarre and Zuberoa in southwestern France. This could be seen directly on the covers which all are decorated with maps including all seven provinces.

    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by University of Missouri: MOspace Oral Tradition, 22/2 (2007): 33-46 Social Features Of Bertsolaritza Jon Sarasua Social Features of Bertsolaritza The Bertsolaritza Setting:1 The Basque Language Community Sung, extempore verse-making in Basque (hereafter referred to as bertsolaritza, as it is known in the Basque language) holds an important place in the culture of the Basque language, a speech community of about 600,000 people. This community is divided among four territories inside the Spanish state and three inside the French state; the population in these territories put together is around three million. The Basque language community is a small speech community and finds itself in a minority in its native land. Nevertheless, we are talking about a community that goes back a long way in history. The most recent findings by a number of scientific disciplines appear to confirm its Pre-Indo- European origin, since the community of Euskara, the Basque language, is regarded as one of the oldest in Europe. It is important to bear in mind the key characteristics in the development of our speech community: a firm determination to maintain its roots and its ability to adapt unceasingly in so many eras and contexts by preserving its essential nature in difficult balances. These key characteristics and behavior are linked to the way the present and future of bertsolaritza is understood and, in general, to the way that the evolution of the Basque language is experienced. Right now, the Basque language finds itself at an especially critical moment; on the one hand it is on the point of losing the battle for revival in some of its territories, and on the other it is going through a difficult normalization or development process.

  • Female Improvisational Poets: Challenges and Achievements in the Twentieth Century
    FEMALE .... improvisational - ,I: t -,· POETS ...~1 Challenges and Achievements in the Twentieth Century In December 2009, 14,500 people met at the Bilbao Exhibi­ tion Centre in the Basque Country to attend an improvised poetry contest.Forty-four poets took part in the 2009 literary tournament, and eight of them made it to the final. After a long day of literary competition, Maialen Lujanbio won and received the award: a big black txapela or Basque beret. That day the Basques achieved a triple triumph. First, thou­ sands of people had gathered for an entire day to follow a lite­ rary contest, and many more had attended the event via the web all over the world. Second, all these people had followed this event entirely in Basque, a language that had been prohi­ bited for decades during the harsh years of the Francoist dic­ tatorship.And third, Lujanbio had become the first woman to win the championship in the history of the Basques. After being crowned with the txapela, Lujanbio stepped up to the microphone and sung a bertso or improvised poem refe­ rring to the struggle of the Basques for their language and the struggle of Basque women for their rights. It was a unique moment in the history of an ancient nation that counts its past in tens of millennia: I remember the laundry that grandmothers of earlier times carried on the cushion [ on their heads J I remember the grandmother of old times and today's mothers and daughters.... • pr ..

Introduction The objective of this article is to give an anthropological description of a ritual performance which has survived from the past and which has taken a renewed vitality during the past decades. It begins with the paradox which Joseba Zulaika discussed in his book Bertsolariaren jokoa eta jolasa (The Joko and Jolas of the Bertsolaria)(1985), where he distinguishes between the joko (competitive game) and jolas (play) dimensions of the bertsolaria’s performance. The first question is therefore whether the competition between the bertsolariak (improvisational poets) can be situated in a wider cultural context. Even more, could it perhaps be situated at the very center of cultural creativity and community production? Here we get to the core of the paradox: the bertsolariak do engage in a competitive game, yet winning the championship is not what matters most. This needs to be seen in the duality of mutually opposing perspectives that are accepted by the audience as reinforcing each other.

    Bertsolaritza gaur eta bihar Antton Haranburu Jose Mari Iriondo Sarrera Gure bertsolaritzari buruzko idazlan hau egin behar eta, edozein euskaldun eta bertsozalek ber- tsolaritzaz duen ikuspegi arruntetik abiatzen naiz. Denok dakigu zerbait bertsolaritzaz, denok ezagu- tzen ditugu gure bertsolariak eta gutxi edo gehiago denok dakigu zer den bertsolari bat. Baina behar- bada intuizioz bakarrik dakizkigu gauza guzti hauek. Ez dugu inoiz gure bertsolaritzaren feno- meno hori sakonki aztertu, ez dugu bertsoaren ana- lisirik egin eta ez dugu bertsolariaren barne proze- su hori arrazoitu. Bertsolaria-bertsoa-bertsolaritza gauza oso bat bezala ulertzen dugu. Horregatik idazlan honetan elementu hauetako bakoitzaren azterketa bat egitea litzateke nire as- moa, bertsolaria, bertsoa eta bertsolaritza bakarka hartuz. Hala ere irakurleak jakin behar du ez dela hau azterketa sakon eta sistematiko bat; gehienik ere oharpen batzuk egitera eta pista batzuk marka- tzera ausartzen naiz eta ondoren esango dudan guz- tia iritzi pertsonal baten kolokan ezarri nahi nuke, dogmakeria guztietatik urrun.

  • + Press Dossier
    NATIONAL BERTSOLARIS CHAMPIONSHIP 2017 The 17th edition of the National Bertsolaris Championship will be held between 23 September and 17 December. It is the ninth championship organised by the Association of the Friends of Bertsolaritza. The National Bertsolaris Championship 2017 will be divided into 14 sessions. The contest will start in Baigorri and, for the fourth year running, the final will be held in the Bilbao Exhibition Centre in Barakaldo. This year a total of 43 bertsolaris (verse singers) will be taking part. In addition, there will be a group made up of 18 theme presenters, as well as 20 judges. The National Bertsolaris Championship is held once every four years and is extremely popular. However, it is just as important to bear in mind what this movement is about. Bertso (improvised verse) is the basis of bertsolaritza and it hides the secret of the championship. Day after day, bertso spreads from village to village, town square to town square, school to school, reaching every spot in the Basque Country. Bertsolaritza is a broad and dynamic movement, and the work involves many people. This non-stop activity is reflected in the National Bertsolaris Championship. 1 Bertsozale Elkartea. Mintzola Etxea.

  • One Hundred Years of Science Policy and the Institute of Catalan Studies
    CONEIXEMENT I SOCIETAT 14 ARTICLES ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SCIENCE POLICY AND THE INSTITUTE OF CATALAN STUDIES Josep M. Camarasa* and Antoni Roca i Rosell** The Institute of Catalan Studies (Institut d’Estudis Catalans, henceforth the IEC) was founded in 1907 by Enric Prat de la Riba with the aim of promoting scientific policy. The underlying rationale was that an institute promoting high culture would reinforce Catalonia’s aspirations for political autonomy. Nonetheless, in addition to this original aim, the IEC has acquired a considerable degree of functional autonomy, indicating preferred directions for research and the dissemination of knowledge, and contributing greatly to the development of a Catalan scientific community. The autonomy of the IEC was unrestricted during the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera (1923-1930), although it received no public funding of any kind. During the Second Republic –covering the years 1931 to 1939 and including the Civil War– the IEC had premises in the Casa de Convalescència (attached to the old Hospital de la Santa Creu). During the Franco dictatorship, the IEC was taken to be defunct, although it was never, in fact, explicitly closed down, and continued to operate in semi-clandestine form. In 1963, Òmnium Cultural (a body promoting Catalan identity, culture and language), granted the IEC premises in the Palau Dalmases. The IEC thus acquired a certain public presence that enabled it to support the activities implemented by its subsidiary societies. In 1976, the IEC was publicly recognised by the governments of Catalonia and of Spain. In recent decades, in an academic context that is very different from that existing in the opening decades of the 20th century and against a very different political background, the IEC has battled to carve out a niche for itself in the Catalan research sector.
