Jon Juaristi y la concepción modernista de la nación, el nacionalismo y la tradición vascas (1985-1990). Un análisis etno-simbolista

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to research the conception diversity of the terms Basque «tradition», «nation» and «nationalism» in Jon Juaristi’s poetical works during the late 80s. In order to get into that diversity we will describe Jon Juaristi’s first three poem books’ characteristics about the three terms from an ethno-symbolic point of view: we will consider the influence of the modernist theory of nations and the specific use of memory places. In consequence, this work provides a starting point in the description of the conception and perception about Basque tradition, nation, and nationalism since the Basque Transition.
