Walther L. Bernecker: In Memoriam
Entre Karl Marx y Max Weber. Logros y retos de la historia social alemana
Desde los tiempos de Humboldt y Ranke, Alemania ha sido un país central para la evolución de la historiografía europea. En la segunda mitad del siglo xx, y liderada por la nueva Escuela de Bielefeld, la historiografía alemana abandonó su fijación historicista para desplegar una nueva agenda docente e investigadora centrada en el desarrollo de la sociedad contemporánea. El artículo analiza el auge de esta corriente historiográfica, pronto converti…

A Taste of Spain: Images of Rioja Wine in Britain and America (1890-1960)
The Rioja wine that we drink today was invented in the 1860s. By the late nineteenth century, it had become widely recognized as Spain’s best red wine. One way to analyze what this success meant during the first half of the twentieth century is to look to foreign accounts. This article examines the English-language narrative that was constructed about Rioja wine between 1890 and 1960. Utilizing travelogues, food and drink guides, reference books,…
The History of Rioja Wine: Tradition and Invention
The Basque Contention: Ethnicity, Politics, Violence
To the outside world, for some half a century, the words Basque Country' have provoked an almost instant association with the Euskadi Ta Askatasuna (ETA, Basque Homeland and Liberty) separatist group and violent conflict. The Basque Contention: Ethnicity, Politics, Violence attempts to undo this simplistic correlation and, for the first time, provide a definitive history of the wider political issues at the heart of the Basque Country. Drawing on…
Ethnogenesis in the Pyrenees: The Contentious Making of a National Identity in the Basque Country (1643–2017)
Focusing on the Basque case study, this article adopts a historical longue-durée perspective over more than two centuries (nineteenth and twentieth) in order to better identify the dialectic in the process of identity formation and change of a small European, stateless community, separated by a borderline and living in two different political, socioeconomic and cultural settings. The political expression of this long process of Basque ‘ethnogenes…
Nationalist Politics at the Crossroads: The Basque Nationalist Party and the Challenge of Sovereignty (1998–2014)
In the past two decades the Basque Nationalist Party's political strategy has exemplified its historical oscillation between, on the one hand, a more radical claim to Basque sovereignty supported mostly by nationalist forces and, on the other, a comparatively more moderate Realpolitik aimed at achieving higher degrees of regional autonomy and cross-party consensus as a means of more gradual Basque nation-building. In contrast to the mainstream in…
Tan lejos, tan cerca. El Gobierno Vasco en Barcelona y las complejas relaciones entre el nacionalismo vasco y el catalán
La cohabitación del Gobierno Vasco, hegemonizado por el Partido Nacionalista, y de la Generalitat hasta la caída de Cataluña en febrero de 1939 se realizó bajo el signo de una gran cercanía política, la que fue una de las condiciones que permitió a Aguirre y sus consejeros realizar una labor que desde la distancia histórica no deja de ser impresionante. El traslado a la capital catalana resultó atractivo también porque escenificaba perfectamente …
Guernica/Gernika como símbolo
Gernika es probablemente el lugar de memoria par excellence del País Vasco. La bibliografía especializada ha subrayado las importantes funciones de los lugares de memoria como símbolos que dotan de sentido a la vida de los individuos y colectivos, forjan identidades y facilitan la orientación en un presente de incertidumbres. Partiendo de estas referencias teóricas, el artículo analiza la doble vertiente simbólica que a partir del siglo xix se ha…
Politics, economy, or culture? The rise and development of Basque nationalism in the light of social movement theory
Nationalism, Violence and Democracy: The Basque Clash of Identities
Ludger Mees offers the first comprehensive study of one of Europe's most protracted ethnic conflicts. He carefully analyzes both the historical roots of the conflict and its later growing violent dime
Between votes and bullets. Conflicting ethnic identities in the Basque Country
With settlement of the Northern Irish conflict, the Basque Country hosts the most threatening nationalist conflict in the European Union. After the breakdown of the ceasefire late in 1999, a return of intensive and indiscriminate ETA violence has provoked a political and social crisis for Basque (and Spanish) society, and, according to all recent opinion polls, the issue of terrorism now ranks first among citizens' worries. This article focuses o…
