Highlights William Douglass has published a book entitled Cultura vasca y su diaspora. Ensayos teóricos y descriptivos. This volume includes Spanish translations of ten of his previously published essays on Old World Basque culture and Basque migration. Joseba Zulaika has published an article entitled “Reyes, políticos, terroristas: la función ritual de ETA en relación al nacionalismo vasco,” in the journal Revista de Antropología Social, no. 0:217-230. Also, the Spanish translation of his book on hunting, Caza, símbolo y eros, was published in March 1992 by NEREA (Madrid). Basque-American author Robert Laxalt has received yet another literary accolade for his novel The Basque Hotel. It has been included on the New York Public Library’s “1991 Books for the Teen Age.” On October 30, 1991 Eusebio Osa, from the University of the Basque Country at Vitoria, gave a seminar on “Word Order in Basque: A Functional Approach,” at the University of Nevada. The Foreign Languages and Literatures Department co-sponsored his talk. Also in October, Emilio Olabarria Munoz, Basque Nationalist Party Deputy to Congress, visited the Program with his escort Richard Bernardo. Deputy Olabarria met with William Douglass and other staff members, toured Lake Tahoe with Joseba Zulaika, and visited other prominent Basques in the area. In December 1991 Iosu Chueca Intxusta from the Departamento de Historia Contemporánea of the University of the Basque Country-Leioa/Bilbao, was at the Basque Studies Program to consult the Goñi archives. Professor Chueca was accompanied by his spouse María Soledad Uria Jauregi. William A. Douglass also published the article, “The Joint Family Household in Eighteenth Century Southern Italian Society,” in the Yale University Press book, The Family in Italy from Antiquity to the Present, edited by David I. Kertzer and Richard P. Saller (1991). Linda White had an article published in the Basque women’s studies magazine, Emakunde (June 1991). Entitled “Como Traducir sin Traicionar,” the article deals with the problem of sexist language in writing a dictionary. Ms. White is also teaching Basque 102 and 204 this spring with the assistance of Amaia Rekalde and Javier Cillero. Jan Douglass has generously volunteered several hours of her week to the Basque Studies Program. Her experience and pizzazz are greatly appreciated. William Douglass published a review of Marianne Heiberg’s The Making of the Basque Nation (Cambridge University Press) in the American Ethnologist, 1991, vol. 18(3):610-11. |
