I don't remember when and where I first read the story Funes, the memory of Jorge Luis Borges. In view of this fact, two hypotheses occur: not having read before, not having read it and not remembering it. The two can happen to me altogether. If I were the first one, I would confirm my loopholes in canonical literature. In the second case, my bad memory. But look at the pleasure that these shortcomings have given me: I have read, as if it were the first time, in the version of Juan Garzia Garmendia, the history of the memory Funes.
Ireneo Funes, therefore, invisible, has reached a volume of the Naturalis history of the old Pliny. And soon after, he's mentally reciting the first paragraph of chapter twenty-four of the seventh book. The subject of this chapter is precisely memory. Since he fell from the horse, the memory of the notes is not empty: “I only have more memory than all individuals have ever had since the world is the world.” On the contrary, I may not be very able to think. To think is to forget the differences, to turn to the general, to abstraction. And in the mute world of Funes, there are no details, almost inseparable details.
The question is that of Andoni Egaña, not forgotten, in a column he had no entrapment: “I remember when and where he first read the story Funes the memoir of Jorge Luis Borges.” In what I thought I had read as a first time, because it has come to my memory, I had read it, surely in some subject of the career. But more important than that, this other one from Egaña: “And memory is, above all, a source of creativity. Nobody believes anything. We all believe what we remember by shaping the letter.” Another horse fell, Montaigne: “If I don’t have natural memory, I play a role.” Through these columns, for example, I myself.

Just as we experienced the flourishing of the Basque Country with the help of the artists, so that this time, taking advantage of their impulses, we continue to make our way together giving the necessary support to the Basque political prisoners, exiles and deportees

Epistemology, or theory of knowledge, is one of the main areas of philosophy, and throughout history there have been important debates about the limits and bases of our knowledge. Within this we find two powerful corridors that propose different ways of accessing knowledge: The... [+]
We learned this week that the Court of Getxo has closed the case of 4-year-old children from the Europa School. This leads us to ask: are the judicial, police, etc. authorities prepared to respond to the children’s requests? Are our children really protected when they are... [+]
Gure lurraldeetan eta bizitzetan sortzen diren behar, desio eta ekimenen inguruan gero eta gehiago entzuten dugu harreman eta proiektu publiko-komunitarioak landu beharraz, eta pozgarria da benetan, merkaturik gabeko gizarte antolaketarako ezinbesteko eredua baita. Baina... [+]
We have renewed the dialogue in the secretariat of the faculty, for the most auspicious: they are far away, for their enrollment, the times when only the students came. The trend has changed for a long time, and parents – most notably mothers – are taking an increasingly... [+]
The argument of a syllogism has three propositions, the last of which is necessarily deduced from the other two. It is with this deductive logic that I can analyze, for me, the long and traumatic socioecological conflict in Carpinteria that is taking place in Navarre.

Azken egunak garrantzi handikoak izan dira Bartzelonan, etxebizitzaren aldeko mugimenduarentzat eta espekulatzaileen aurkako borrokarentzat. Urtarrilaren 28an, polizia-armada batek Raval auzoko Massana Zaharrari [zentro sozial okupatua] eraso egin zion goizaldean, aurrez abisatu... [+]
Zer jakin behar dut? Norekin erlazionatu behar dut? Non bizi behar dut? Ardura horiekin gabiltza gizakiok gure gizarteen baitan bizitza on baten ideia bizitzeko bidean. Ondo erantzuten ez badakigu, bazterretan geratuko garen beldurrez.

I don't want my daughter disguising herself as a Gypsy in the caldereros. I don’t want Gypsy children at my daughter’s school to dress up as Gypsies in caldereros. Because being a gypsy is not a disguise. Because being a gypsy is not a party that takes place once a year, with... [+]
The road goes by steps, and I learned a little while ago that it seems to have already begun. But people also want to learn to fill that sentence with content. Alone we could achieve little, maybe even resignation as soon as we started. Gathering huge crowds can also complicate... [+]
Ez zuen egoki jokatu, neurriak hartu behar ziren, bestela, ez dugu ikasten. Itxuraz, ez zen ohartzen egindakoaren inpaktuaz, normal jarraitzen zuen, batzuetan, ingurukoek baino itxura zoriontsuagoz. Gainera, altuegi hitz egiten du, hori ez zaio inori gustatzen. Darabiltzan... [+]
The Department of Education doesn't understand why public employees have gone on strike. He's got to ask the LAB Syndicate. This union signed an agreement with the department in April 2023. Two years later they have also called for a strike because, unlike the previous ones, the... [+]
