Threads of reflection, from the sweet of the house...

  • When I got out of bed to go to work and turned on the radio, I've often had fun with a supposed news that the announcer could announce: “What if now they announced that we can’t leave the house? For example, for a week?” I have enough fabric, food and reading at home, what a pleasure! Imagine that in what we can already call our First Life, in which we never stop at the frantic rhythm of our crazy life, we had to dream of a pause that can only come from outside.

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.

I've always thought it's as unlikely as unreal news, and maybe that's why he tempted me and hinted me. Well, how things are, I end up hearing the news – because we have to be careful about what we ask of life, you know it – and, what you mean, it is not being as I have imagined it. Because every day I feel like I've woke up in a science fiction movie, to a reality that every day has a more unreal character. And indirectly, I wonder if we're actually living this, if this Present Life is real as well.

I carry my lockdown full of sweetness because I'm quite a guest, friend of myself, lover of writing and reading, great workouts for loneliness. But that's not a problem, because I can't forget that this crisis overcomes the personal dimension, because we're facing a collapse of the world, which is going to have unpredictable consequences in our Next Life. I feel the uncertainty, the concern for the weakest, the uncertainty of what will come next and, why not confess, the fear.

Like all crises, this also has a positive aspect, in which, if something is to be stressed, I would mention the ability to question the values that we have put at the center of our lives, to question the presumed control of people over life and to reflect on what is really important to be well. First of all, it has shown our fragility, and I think it is an unbeatable opportunity to question the pride and feeling of pride for a humanity so committed to concealing and denying mortality. Mortality makes us vulnerable and knowing that we are vulnerable, humble and humble.

Then there is an opportunity that offers us to see that we are a society with an excessive rhythm and action. Not lowering performance, remaining productive, not wasting time, that's the most important thing in this crisis experience. And please don't send us the list of movies and books that can be seen and read in the lockdown anymore, don't design an endless list of activities that can be done without leaving the house. Let us get bored, yes. And it took time to feel, to think, to be at rest. Needless to say, our children and our young people. Friendly teachers, let us reassure our little ones, that they take the opportunity to learn a little cooking, organize coexistence at home and enjoy.

And as far as we're concerned as Basques, it's what we always do. It has become clear that the border that divides our country into two, that it has never disappeared, that there is no reality that is understood as an autonomous power, that the occupation is still in force, and that the two dominant states will seize the opportunity to advance in the qualitative leap in the assimilation process: they will turn the coronavirus into a colonovirus. For example.

Fog

Many times, after looking at the brumas from my house, it has occurred to me not to catch umbrellas, even though I know I will just soak up. Why will it be? Maybe you don't want to catch the umbrella? Maybe in the hope that I don't get wet? Nevertheless, the conclusion has always... [+]


To live in Basque, the Republic of Euskera

I remember when I was 16 years old, the Ertzaintza first identified me in a concentration in favor of the Basque Country before the Bergara courts. We believed that in Euskal Herria it was legitimate to cry for the Euskaldunization of the courts, but then there would also be a... [+]

When the thirst for profit chokes

The disaster caused by the cold drop in Valencia has left us dramatic images, both because of the immediate consequences it has had, and because the future awaiting us has brought us forward: that this type of extreme climate phenomena will be increasingly numerous and serious... [+]


We have argued against the Navarre Energy Plan that does not plan

The update of the Navarra Energy Plan goes unnoticed. The Government of Navarre made this public and, at the end of the period for the submission of claims, no government official has explained to us what their proposals are to the citizens.

The reading of the documentation... [+]

Rusophobia before and now (II)

Since the disappearance of the Soviet Union, rusophobia has been growing. The concept of security of the UN Security Council of 2002 is very clear and indicates that the security and stability of the planet must depend on the states that do not intend to challenge the United... [+]


Name and existence of Umandi

Andoni Urrestarazu Landazabal was born in the village of Araia on 16 July 1902 and died in Vitoria on 21 November 1993. It is now 31 years old and I think it is time to recognize his name and be, because the legacy he left is not well known. Umandi used the name of a mountain in... [+]


Euskera with memory

Autobiography writing is, they say, the most effective tool for personal development, the most liberating. Pulling things away from the past and remembering them, it seems that it helps unleash the knots of the present. Yes, it helps to understand the present and to draw a... [+]


Wager on the future

I have done a review from the announcement of the pandemic to the tragedy in Valencia and have concluded that the disastrous institutional management that lies and forupe as firewalls is constant of the ruling class.

We do not have a valid substitute ruler as long as this... [+]

Carriers also have to go to the service

November 19 is World Bathing Day. Even today, in the twenty-first century, many workers here in the Basque Country do not have the right to use the toilet in their working days. Many transport workers are an example of this.

Toilets are the key to public health and play a... [+]


Technology
Depleting human creation?

We know that artificial intelligence is representing many fields in human beings: comfort, speed, efficiency ... We've been led to believe that human endeavor is an obstacle to the speed needs of this capitalist world. The aggressions to reduce our chances of doing, doing and... [+]

Territory and architecture
Data to the territory

In recent weeks it has not been possible for those of us who work in architecture that the climate phenomenon of Valencia has not been translated into our work discourse. Because we need to think about and design the path of water in decks, sewers, plazas and building parks. We... [+]


Hysterical materialism
To live

Self-esteem sometimes seems intimate. But if self-esteem is about the image that you have of yourself, about the value that you give yourself, you'll also have to see the decisions that you can make. What value does someone who can't decide have? So we start to look at our mother... [+]

The Basque farmhouse, a system of exploitation?

The Sanmartines are well known in our homes, as it is time to kill the pig. However, many people will not know that before St. Martin's day marked the end of the agricultural year. And that was no nonsense. In fact, at the end of the year, I had to pay an annual rent to my... [+]

Between the two eyes

For a whole week we have talked about the book The Adventures of Pinocchio by Collodi, in the classroom of the university, with teachers of Early Childhood and Primary Education. Our main reference has been the nice edition that Galtzagorri published in 2011, which included the... [+]


Tools and training

“You learn walking and singing.” This has been one of the subjects this week in the groups of C2. It wasn't about learning to sing or walking, it was about using the future correctly. The activity has given me what to think and I've wondered how we learn to teach. I've heard... [+]
