Synopsis

Basque language standardization, now towards the end of the first quarter of the 21st century, has long had it has own particular characteristics. The senior Basque language institution, Euskaltzaindia, has brought together many major experts on the Basque language with a specific goal: to reflect on what it has done, and what its role is, and to compare those two sides, knowing that the language adapts within society every day as speakers make use of it.

Synopsis

The collection and analysis of the presence of bertsolaritza (improvised Basque verse) in the historical press, radio, cinema, television and the Internet has been the starting point for this thesis. Biographies and contributions from eight generations of bertsolaris (Basque rhyming poets) have been included in the narrative. And all this in the context of the evolution of popular culture in Europe. The end result is an extensive review of a completely unique cultural evolution, a beautiful testament to the life force of the subaltern voice.

Synopsis

The title of the book makes it clear that the correspondence is from the 18th century. Written by José Ramón Minondo, from Goizueta, from the end of the 18th century to the beginning of the 19th century. It is known that papers and notebooks like these, written by hand, do not appear daily. Even less for those who are not interested in religion or literature. Thus, the missives between the Minondos are related to trade and accounts; are destined for trafficking. What would be sold or bought around Goizueta at that time? Who did they deal with? What professions do they refer to?

Synopsis

How did Euskaltzaindia obtain permission to hold meetings again in 1941, while Eusko Ikaskuntza, for example, remained defenestrated? Was it the tool used by the Franco regime to whiten its language policy? Or was it the Academy that dealt with cultural resistance in internal exile? Despite the appearance of new information to answer such questions, the 1936-1954 period of Euskaltzaindia and Basque culture, which turns one hundred years old in 2019, remains a dark period.
