  • Terrorismo Y Nacionalización En Euskadi: El Caso De La Margen Izquierda
    ESTUDIOS VASCOS Terrorismo y nacionalización en Euskadi: el caso de la margen izquierda Terrorism and nationalisation in the Basque Country: the case of the Left Bank of the Estuary of Bilbao. Raúl López Romo* RESUMEN Este artículo analiza la influencia del terrorismo sobre los procesos de naciona- LABURPENA lización. Se aplica la lente sobre un área concreta del País Vasco: la comarca de ABSTRACT la margen izquierda de la ría del Nervión. El miedo ha sido un ingrediente fun- damental del proceso político en la Euskadi de las últimas décadas. El terrorismo (sobre todo el de ETA, por su magnitud) ha sido un factor clave de desnacionali- zación española. Allí donde sus enemigos ideológicos constituían una alternativa política y social, ETA se aplicó con particular saña para eliminarlos. Artikulu honek terrorismoak nazionalizazio-prozesuetan izan duen eragina aztertzen du. Ikuspegia Euskal Herriko gune jakin batean jartzen da: Nerbioi itsasadarraren ezkerraldeko eskualdea. Beldurra prozesu politikoaren funtsezko osagaia izan da azken hamarkadetako Euskadin. Terrorismoa (batez ere ETArena, bere garrantziarengatik) desnazionalizazio espainiarraren funtsezko faktorea izan da. Bere etsai politikoek alternatiba politiko eta soziala eratzen zuten lekuetan, ETAk amorru bereziz jardun zuen haiek ezabatzeko. This article analyzes the influence of terrorism on nation-building. Our case study deals with the Basque Country and more specifically with the left bank of the Es- tuary of Bilbao. Fear has been a very important ingredient of the political process in the Basque Country over the last decades. Terrorism (and, most of all, the one of ETA, because of its magnitude) has been a key factor in the so-called Spanish denationalization.

  • Industrial Culturescape: Territory As Context
    Sustainable Tourism VIII 237 INDUSTRIAL CULTURESCAPE: TERRITORY AS CONTEXT ANA SCHMIDT Provincial Government of Biscay, Spain National University of Distance Education (UNED), Spain ABSTRACT The European Landscape Convention has contributed to understanding landscape as an important component of collective well-being and highlighted the need to manage the entire territory as a landscape. The Nervion estuary, Abra Bay and mining area deserve to be considered an urban cultural landscape, because of their heritage value and singular beauty. The landscape of the Nervion and Abra has developed over time, above all, throughout the period of industrialisation. Restoring the industrial heritage landscape, such as the old mining railways, may bring the existing cultural landscape closer to the environment of the people who live in these areas. This study categorises the heritage elements and traces of the Orconera mining railway, in order to understand the current landscape and determine a proposal for action to preserve them and restore the mining railway line as a green infrastructure. In this case, preservation as a sustainable landscape means proposing a new use for it as cultural landscape and tourism. Although industrialisation has had a serious impact on the development of the whole Bilbao metropolitan area, the mining-industrial heritage includes sites that are somewhat unexplored and overlooked by urban policies. Keywords: cultural landscape, cultural tourism, industrial cultural heritage, industrial tourism, mining railways. 1 INTRODUCTION In the study we carried out on the Nervion Estuary, its banks, the Abra Bay and the mining area within the Greater Metropolitan Area of Bilbao, we found a landscape that rightfully comes under the description of cultural landscape, as per this definition in the 1992 UNESCO Convention on Cultural and Natural Heritage.
