Canon Pop

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.

And z I'll write by ETB. So as not to bother anyone, I'm going to write with a canon. The first thing I say is that it's not a kind of boat. But I do not think it is easy, because when you talk about canon, someone in the Basque cultural ecosystem is always angry, because they have not put him in the hierarchy or because they have put him in, but angry. And forgive me for writing everything in lowercase.

Canon is a rule, but also something else. I remember Greece and its way of measuring. It can also be summarized in the category. The canon is the hierarchy. That means there are some up and some down. Experts also write about the characteristics of the canon. Write and write. This, after all, means nothing more than a way of understanding the cultural world, the world. In other words, some have category and others do not. Another thing is what the category is. There is no room for it in this column. What is clear is that the measures of the canon vary according to the times, that is, they are not the same, one century or the other.

In view of the above, it seems to me that the canon of our culture is even more linked to the 19th century than XXI.ari. Because in our canon, it's clear who's up there. Some living writers, at most two or three, some dead sculptors, even two or three, and some painters. This is the high level of the canon of our culture. That's what medically pushes and gives prestige. It's hard to imagine that an artist from another field is part of that Parnaso. And musicians, actors, photographers, sad poets, singers, dancers, cartoonists, designers, sound engineers, bertsolaris, scriptwriters -- all of them are part of the hierarchy but they don't come within the limits of the canon. For example, you completely idiot. If Atxaga were given the Nobel, I'm sure Iñigo Urkullu would be Oslo, but if Telmo ESNAL were given the Oscar, which is where we are born for many, in Los Angeles not.

They forget that, closer to Los Angeles than to Bilbao, there was a guy we're all used to today in the canon. Andy Wharlol. It created the concept of pop culture. It comes from popular pop, that is, from the lowest level of the hierarchy. And it's been a long time since this broke the canon rules. But somewhere among us some people don't want to take it into account.

I see myself among those who make that pop art, and I don't care whether I'm part of the canon or not. But I have no doubt that I am part of the culture. So I feel like a little expert, I'm a little expert. And in Euskera, I also fully agree with the other sense that pop has. After all, we are at the last place in the hierarchy: the stern.

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... [+]

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... [+]


Appeal to Euskalgintza apolítica

The survival of the Basque country is not the only problem that the Basques play in the political game, but rather, as a more characteristic element of Euskaldunisation, the one that most reflects our situation. It shows very well what does not appear so much in other areas... [+]


Epistemic injustice in schools?

In Sociology of Education there is a classical question: Why does the education system exist in a society? The answers to the question are numerous and change according to the time. But among them, it should be noted that the main objective of the school is the creation of... [+]
