Roots and present of Basque identity and nationalism

V následujícím textu se autor pokouší porozumět etnicitě Basků a baskickému nacionalismu. Zdroje jsou založeny na historicko-teoretických pracech a terénním výzkumu, který byl proveden ve španělském Baskicku, zvláště pak v oblasti Guipúzcoa a městě San Sebastián mezi únorem a červnem 2009. Baskický nacionalismus a etnicita jsou analyzovány jako moderní fenomény, založené na kulturních zdrojích, které byly vykládány různými myslitely. Historický pohled je zaměřen na události 20.století, přesně na tzv.druhou republiku, občanskou válku, období frankistické diktatury, vznik organizace ETA, transformaci Španělska v konstitucionální stát a konstrukci a rozvoj autonomní oblasti Baskicko po dnešní dny. Terénní výzkum hledá vlivy, které se podílejí na utváření historické paměti občanů, hledá také auto a hetero sterotypy a celkově konstrukci etnicity. Některé kapitoly jsou věnovány problémům revitalizace baskičtiny, rozvoji politiky v posledních třiceti letech a polarizace ETA-Španělsko. Autorovým cílem není není řešit problém jako určitou esencializaci kultury. Autorovým cílem je porozumět něčemu z Baskicka a načrtnout určitou mozaiku.In the following text, the author intends to understand the ethnicity of Basques and today Basque nationalism, too. The sources are based on historiography and social science theories and fieldwork, which was done in Euskadi/Basque Country, especially in Guipúzcoa and the city of San Sebastian between February and June 2009. Basque nationalism and the ethnicity are analysed as a modern phenomenon, based on culture sources which used to be explicated by various intelectuals. The historical point of view is accented in events of the twentieth century, exactly on the second republic of Spain, the civil war, Franco's dictature, the origin of ETA, the transformation of Spain into the constitutional state and the construction and development of Basque Autonomy until today. The fieldwork is searching for influences which build Basque citizens' memory of the past, the auto and hetero stereotypes, the construction of ethnicity. Some chapters are focused on the problems of the revitalization of Basque language, the development of the politics during last thirty years and the polarization ETA-Spain. The aim of the author is not to deal with the problem as an cultural essensialism. The author's aim is to understand something regarding Basque Country and sketch out a mosaic.Katedra sociálních vědDokončená práce s úspěšnou obhajobo
