Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

This is what the editorial of the Lower Band of 2 Omen states: “The continuation is the minimum of this Omen, the maximum is to win the quota to say something.” We have won the quota to say something every time, now you have done it. Or ours. We have said the columns in the hope that they will have something to say. We have achieved what I was asking for, but now, what can we say? Maybe we prefer to hide within the four walls of our website. Another page here in the Internet hole. The two worlds that are already indivisible, the cybernetic and the real, cannot be the refuge of each other. It is therefore incumbent upon us to face up to a unique world.

We have been given the following criteria: A column, round and long, or sharp edge, but finally a column. “2500-4000 characters”, the same ones we have ever written but numbered and measured with magnifying glass. “Don’t write poetry, if it’s not an exceptional case, because you have to understand it.” In short, the minimum of ARGIA, compliance with the deadlines, writing with a certain understanding (it will cost) and, of course, in Basque; the maximum, rob the other Basque media a new literary talent, nosotrxs industry plant.

The young people we suffer today have no more than to buy them in a sold world. But we prefer to change the world rather than destroy it.

Well, the latter is false. You can’t find a job for the summer, amidst a salary you’re looking for in InfoJobs “part-time writer” and doesn’t fit five pockets. We have achieved what any young person who has just turned 20 years old wants, to be able to say whatever you want and to work with your things: a pretty good deal. A quota of five is not a quota, it is a fifth of a quota, but that is also enough for us.

No one has united us under contract, forced us to point at a pistol, not even drawn our attention: we were alone and we were elected.

There is no prominent name here, not a round that puts your face on it. The articles that have been decided unanimously in a call to meet for a short time, because we do not know how to do otherwise. The challenge is to investigate the consensus and disagreements highlighted in the text, analyze the limits and explore further. Speak of a single voice in texts written by five hands when it is not possible. Every week you will prove it (or not), reader.

It won't be in a warehouse where the book will die forgotten. The young people we suffer today have no more than to buy them in a sold world. But we prefer to change the world to destroy it. Duty has never changed much, but what it is prepared to do.

“Having something to say is not difficult, recounting it well, yes,” and also giving it something to say. When the column is no longer weighed and only serves for the ornament, to the street. We resigned by saying things by filling characters.

Fleeting stars and light aircraft

Distinguishing fleeting stars from aircraft lights is not an easy task. It is a job that can only be done on the nights that give away the long summer days.

I just started the summer and with the full backpack I took a step outside the door of my house, to be two weeks caring... [+]


Historical cartography of the Basque Country
The trail of maps in the history of a people
It is known that cartography represents much more than the characteristics of a town or territory. Hand maps have conquered continents and empires have been built throughout history, and cultural and political identities have been defined with squads and cartabons. Peoples... [+]

Dealing with aggression

The one who approaches this book, first of all, will be with G. It meets the images of Mabire. They are comic style images, very accurate strokes and celestial experiences that help to easily interpret characters and situations. These images coincide with the text, which is... [+]

Axular and diagnostic evaluations

18:45. My friends have been quoted by 7 p.m., but the mobile alarm has caught me far from being ready. Dressed in a pajamas with drawings of sandie and looking only at the Google document of the computer, I have admitted that today I will not arrive in time either. However, this... [+]

Yogurts in exchange

When I published my first book of poems, they offered me a recital at a university. The musician charged in money and I was given a book about Jorge Oteiza, which I didn't take because I was in my house. This was the first of the unacceptable requests that I have accepted. It was... [+]


Claiming the dignity of witches

For a matter of work, I had to reread this wonderful book. A short book that brings together feminist theory, genealogy and history, and that will surely have a lot of criticism looking on the net and, surprise! I found one, which Irati Majuelo wrote in Berria.El book published... [+]

No harvest in July

Load transmissions are performed vertically. The loads are held and by the columns all the efforts sink until they die on the site. It's impossible to avoid, it's the result of the attraction that the mass produces. If it exists, it will fall. Also, by imitation, we tend to teach... [+]


Crossed and committed looks

The book just published by the editorial Consonni has been a great surprise to the public. I did not know the work of Montserrat Roig and the finding has been truly surprising. On the one hand, because the novel was first published in a little more than the death of Franco (in... [+]
