Gabilondo
Lectures
Joseba Gabilondo, former Professor of Literature at
Duke University (curently at Bryn Mawr) and author of the
book Californiatik Bihotzez, visited the Basque
Studies Program in April as part of the Basque Lecture
Series. Dr. Gabilondo’s talk was entitled, “On the
Relocation of Basque Identities in the Global System, or
When the New York Times Thinks that Bernardo
Atxaga’s Obabakoak Is as Spanish as a
Paella.”
Gabilondo is currently working on a book about
Bernardo Atxaga, and his lecture was an insightful
examination of the universality versus the Basqueness of
Atxaga’s work. He also discussed the aspects of
modernism and postmodernism in the work.
Dr. Gabilondo has lived in the United States for
several years, and his book Californiatik Bihotzez
(From California, with Love) provides a unique perspective
on American culture from the Basque’s point of
view.
