Los estímulos sonoros y visuales que recibimos desde la primera infancia intervienen de forma significativa en la percepción del mundo y en la propia construcción de la identidad. En una sociedad predominantemente androcéntrica, estas impresiones, que suelen adquirirse desde la imitación y la repetición, contribuyen a la asimilación y reproducción de identidades sociales normalizadas. Esta tendencia homogeneizadora se acentúa en la era tecnológica de los nuevos medios virtuales y la inteligencia artificial; niños y niñas están expuestos constantemente a estereotipos sexistas y roles de género que limitan su individualidad y sus expectativas vitales, y esta realidad no es ajena ...
In 1452, Bizkaians assembled at the Oak of Gernika and approved the Fuero Viejo de Bizkaia (the Old Law of Bizkaia) one of Europe's most important yet little known medieval legal codes. Its laws encompassed an extraordinary range of individual and collective liberties, anticipating the 18th-century Declarations of Rights contained in the constitutions of the U.S. and France. It was extraordinarily modern in both spirit and letter and attracted the attention and admiration of John Adams and William Wordsworth. Its influence survives to the present day, underpinning Bizkaian and Basque claims to their own political identity within the Spanish state. Distributed for the Center for Basque Studies.
Generations of Basques in New York have vibrantly exercised their culture, language, values, and traditions, transmitting to their children a robust sense of ethnic identity. In today's world of globalization it is often assumed that particular communities are disappearing as a consequence of the factors of homogenization. However, the Basques have proved this false. Depicting Basque mutual aid societies, language courses, musical and dance troupes, cuisine classes, community activities, sport, political involvement, and ties to homeland institutions are just a few of the ingredients which mix to compose the chapters of this work. Readers will learn about the history and reasons why Basques ...
This book studies linguistic complexity and the processes by which it arises and is maintained, focusing not so much on what one can say in a language as how it is said. Complexity is not seen as synonymous with difficulty but as an objective property of a system a measure of the amount of information needed to describe or reconstruct it. Grammatical complexity is the result of historical processes often subsumed under the rubric of grammaticalization and involves what can be called mature linguistic phenomena, that is, features that take time to develop. The nature and characteristics of such processes are discussed in detail, as well as the external and internal factors that favor or disfavor stability and change in language.
Against a background of extensive multi-disciplinary oceanographic investigations over a number of years, together with the long-term establishment of a Society and Institute, extensive information is available from studies undertaken in the estuarine and coastal waters of the Basque Country.The present authors gained access to unpublished literature and reports which, together with a synthesis of internationally-refereed papers, provide a series of scientific overviews of particular subject areas. Teams of researchers (from Basque Institutes and Universities) combine to present the present 'state of knowledge', within a global context, of processes ranging from sub-seabed to air-sea interac...

This is a collection of articles describing and analyzing several of the most important morphosyntactic features for which the formal comparison between Basque and its surrounding Romance languages is relevant, such as word order, inflection, case, argument structure and causatives. In the context of a language virtually all of whose speakers are bilingual in either Spanish or French, the theoretically informed in-depth description offered in this volume focuses on the fine grain of linguistic structures from languages typologically quite apart but coexisting and probably interacting in the minds of speakers. It therefore aims at shedding some light on the types of interactions between different systems and on the systems themselves.
Lejos de constituir una particularidad del comportamiento político de los españoles, la violencia es, a la luz de una historiografía global y comparativa, ingrediente definitorio de las transformaciones experimentadas por las sociedades europeas desde finales del siglo XVIII. Fenómeno a la vez estructurante y de oportunidad, la naturaleza y expresiones de la violencia colectiva responden a procesos de largo aliento vinculados a mudanzas de orden social, económico, científico, cultural y político, pero también a cambios de coyuntura en los espacios donde se plantean conflictos de poder, desde el ámbito local al internacional.El presente tomo aborda acontecimientos clave del siglo pas...
