Being a Basque child

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.

On Sunday morning we read a story by Tolstoi, reading, in Basque: “How much land does a man need?” And he knows the drawings of Elena Odriozola because he saw them in the adventures of Gulliver, he enjoys the thread of the Tales. Then he gets into discotheque, often, and translated from Catalan by Alberdi who translated this last short story, we have danced with the accounts of Ena and identified the voice and trikitixa of Tapia, who knew of the album “Egon ala ez egon” (and he does not know, but also knows the words of Izagirre): Tapia is a stamina.

Izagirre has long heard the words of the motto he himself had brought to us, learned to say “What disgust!” with Astiz, and asks “today I want poems” if what he wants are joemas, the sounds of Bilbao or playing with the body with Igerabide. He knows what a dodo is and what his doubt is thanks to Astiz and Muguruza. He doesn't know, but he's creating his likes. In Lo potolo, Canorena points out in the index (not knowing how to read) first, that which formed him in the kitchen seas and deserts, and that of Bilbao, and that of Alberdi, and that of Lertxundi, asks Xola “it doesn’t matter if I don’t understand everything”, when he wants to be long. And as children also need occasionally something light, or adrenaline, the Super Potato waits. It is also awaited by Landa’s crocodile, symbol of the deepest layers of our brain, which will relate them to the stories of Dovstoyeski and Mrozek.

The Castellanas also enter our corner, we enjoy them. But what beautiful, what luxury, today to be a Basque child.

To what extent should they be small farmers?

Much of the current left-wing movement, albeit intuitively, claims small-scale agriculture, without any doubt. However, this claim for smallness has its contradictions: a small farm, by definition, will not be able to produce a lot of food. And is that important? Well, in a... [+]

Does eco-axism come to us?

The eco-social crisis generated by capitalism is causing global unrest across the planet. The "summits" of material and energy resources, establishing limits for growth and accumulation, entail imbalances between nature and society. The crazy wheels of extractivism, climate change... [+]


What we have to defend

One student told me once we studied a text: “The character is sick: the thought moves in his head.” Obviously, with this phrase, he misplaced the comment he had in his mind, that is, that the imbecility of the character was noticed in his continuous reflections. However,... [+]

Learning to say goodbye

Saying goodbye to something or someone is usually an act related to abandonment, the end and, ultimately, the grieving process. I'm sure you would ever, or you'd hear someone, tell them the typical, topical phrase of "I don't like greetings." And I don't want to fool you, not even I've... [+]

Euskalgintza digital critique

Euskera is a port for knowledge and relationships at sea, which is a digital space. With artificial intelligence, it seems that from this port there is the possibility of contact in Basque with everyone. The automation of the Basque Country is a great support for educators... [+]

From here

Close the computer, put on chanclets, stroke with the sun cream. Where are you going on holiday? We've normalized that vacation is going somewhere, because rest needs distance, we say. And when we make the journey, we will become tourists, even if the change of denomination... [+]


Need for renewable energy planning in the Basque Country

Conservative mentalities are afraid of the term planning, linking with progressive and even communist political currents, as the new authoritarianisms do today (Milei, Meono, Orban, Aznar, among others). However, the idea of planning is still in good health, at least formally... [+]


Meaka-Irimo is still alive!
A long time ago, a wind strike announced that a company was going to build a wind power plant on Mt. Irimo. Most people didn't believe it. Even less so are those who know the orography and the rocky character of Mt. Irimo. "But do you know what damage they would do by going down... [+]

The XIX Congress of Basque Studies Congress, behind closed doors

The issue of cohesion is today the first responsibility of many governments, public institutions and non-governmental organisations. Indeed, societies with low inequalities more easily generate conditions for economic, social and cultural development, better governance... [+]

The awkward truth of industrial policy

The global economy suffered a significant upturn following COVID-19. However, the signs that this increase has reached a stage of exhaustion are clearly conditioned by the climate crisis: the rate of economic growth of the major world powers, productivity is stagnating and... [+]

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... [+]

It seems that the sixteen-year-old is reflecting on the path that he will follow after high school. In one, he talks about the choice of the specific subjects of the baccalaureate, in the other, of the administrative steps that he will have to perform, without questions, through... [+]
