ARTICLE 1: FIRST WAVE OF FEMINISM (Elene Okamika and Iker Reiriz)

Iker Reiriz:

Feminism has its source in the 18th century, specifically in the Enlightenment, in this cultural and philosophical movement there was a controversy on equality and gender differences. At the time appeared a new critical discourse that used the universal categories of this political philosophy. Enlightenment movement therefore was not feminist on its roots.

The French Revolution(1789) raised legal equality, freedoms and political rights as its central objectives but soon came the great contradiction that marked the struggle of early feminism: freedoms, rights and legal equality that had been the great conquests of the liberal revolutions didn´t affect women. Rousseau's political theory designed the exclusion of women from the field of property and rights. So in the French Revolution the voice of women began to express themselves collectively.

Elene Okamika:

Mary Wollstonecraft’s most famous work, which is called Vindication, was created on 1972. Its previous feminist work was Poullain de la Barre’s Equality of sexes (1673). This period was so affected by Rousseau’s philosophy, the Illustration. The father of the Illustration defined an ideal democratic society that was based on the equality of men, where women were totally discriminated.

Mary Wollstonecraft based her work on the ideas of Rousseau. Although at first it seems to be contradictory, Wollstonecraft’s idea was to expand Rousseau’s democratic society but based on gender equality. The term feminism was created like a political illustrated ideology at that period. Feminism emerged by the speech about the reform and correction of democracy based on equalitarian conditions. With Wollstonecraft’s work, the illustrated feminist polemic was displayed, and as a result, suffragist movements were stood up.

2. HISTORY OF ZUMAIA


2.1. Creation of the town

Despite of the disagreements in certain aspects with regards to the origins of Zumaia, all historians agree with the fact that the villa emerged surrounding the Monastery of Santa Maria. According to the first preserved parchment in which it is mentioned the place “Zumaya”, the Monastery of Santa Maria had been a donation by a privilege of Sancho VI of Navarre to the Roncesvalles´s convent in 1292.

In spite of the different conclusions about the emplacement of the monastery, the monks of the Monastery of Santa Maria the direct witnesses of the birth of this villa, after the inhabitants dispersed by the valley of Sehatz decided to put an end to the continuous assaults of piracy and plunder and raise a villa walled and strengthened from where they could defend in group against the enemy. Due to its extent, its strategic location and its direct contact with the sea, the chosen place was Zumaia. Nevertheless, the villa was not constituted juridically until 1347, when Alfonso XI of Castile provided the municipal charter to its citizensof "Villagrana de Zumaya's Villa", to which was granted the Jurisdiction of San Sebastián.


In the 16th century, Zumaia was relied on 136 houses, 70 of them distributed among six streets that existed inside the wall, and the remaining ones dispersed by three neighborhoods that were staying out of the wall. In total there were 108 the neighborhood surnames, 53 of them with the qualification of nobility. Nowadays there is no evidence of the fortification that only was interrupted at a height of solar houses and towers that could play the same function of defending as the wall. The entrance halls included the Principal Entrance Hall of the villa and the great cross at that presided them, were destroyed in the middle of the 18th century in order to clear the surrounding of the town. The only natural door was the one of the bar of the sea, which was apparently the most dangerous for being the most accessible.


From the 16th century, the metal of the bells of the parish have been fused countless times. In 1578 the mayor ordered to slap three times consecutive in order that citizens being well-informed and coming more assiduous to the meetings of the regiment, which was retired long time ago. Moreover, on eve of the General Meetings - that were celebrated in the villa every 18 years, to offer fuelwood and coal to the secretary of the province, two oaks were cut. In one of these sessions, precisely on December 27, 1620 the same day in which Ignatius of Loyola, Patron Saint of Gipuzkoa was chosen, a decision was adopted of naming Patrona of the villa a la Inmaculate Concepcion of the Virgin Mary.


2.2. Economic changes and development


With the pass of centuries, has brought logically many changes not only in the former ordinances municipal written in 1584, but also in the urban development as well as in the customs and way of living of citizens. However, the best keys to notice the development of the villa from its foundation to the present day, is the economic predominant activity of every epoch. The majority of the first inhabitants of the villa were devoted to agriculture, though grouping in the same place accelerated the appearance of some professional and industrial activities. By the end of the 14th century, ships were constructed in the river. A high percentage of the population was devoted to fishing and navigation. The river was then very rich and highly varied species could be fished, among them salmons, trouts, shellfish and eels. Many were reconciling the coastal fishing with agriculture. By then, the manufacturing of cement had also become a relevant activity, for which they were taking advantage of the matters of tertiary areas of the surroundings. From the port they were departing goods towards the Netherlands as well as manufactured products were imported. Some historians even claim that the passenger liner that was joining the villa with the hermitage of Santiago - habitual accomodation of the pilgrims who were going towards Santiago de Compostela, were also among the most prominent sources of Zumaia's revenue in the 16th century.


The following centuries, 17th century and the 18th century, were not brilliant periods at all. The land continued being the principal economic activity of the neighbors, in spite of the fact that Zumaia continued having many deficits in agriculture, especially in the production of wheat, corn and beans; until that in 1766 all the houses were recognized to verify if any neighbor possessed more grain than the necessary for their maintenance. There were also citizens dedicated to both maritime and terrestrial transport of goods, mainly iron, and the fishing activity was maintained and even increased, since in 1610 was created the Cofradía de Mareantes de San Telmo, meaning the Confraternity of the Seagoing of San Telmo.


It was in this period when there was emphasized the emigration begun at the end of the 16th century (in 1616 Zumaia embraced 935 inhabitants) and it did not stop until two centuries later with the economic reappearance.


The situation began to improve very quickly in the 17th century , among other reasons because the desiccation of the marshes enabled the cultivation of the former reed-beds and, consequently, the increase of the agricultural production, especially if corn. But there were some other factors that lead this reappearance, since in the 19th century the factories of cement turned into the engine of the economy of the villa, promoting the commercial activity of the port. The terrestrial transport also improved in this period of time, since between the year 1882 and 1885 a road that joined Zumaia with Getaria was created, which was already communicated with San Sebastián, in 1900 appeared a train that would join Zumaia with Zarautz, and in 1926 the railroad of the Urola was inaugurated, which nowadays is already removed. The improvement of the communications, nevertheless, harmed to the port of Bedua, whose commercial activity started to expire due to the fact that the bridge of Urola river was blocking the way to the ships upstream.


The industry of the cement began to decline at the beginning of the 20th century, at the same time as the naval industry started to arise again strongly, and soon later also the industry of the engine. An interesting fact that took place in Zumaia is that the first diesel engine of the whole Spanish State was set here, precisely in the enterprise Yeregui Hermanos. This industrial rise brought about logically a considerable increase of the population, mainly due to the immigration.


The percentages of the different activities that were stimulating the economy of Zumaia had considerably changed by the beginning of the 20th century. In 1950, the 56,1% of the population worked in the industrial sector, while only the 17% dedicated to agriculture. Some years later, the economic crisis also came to Zumaia, sharpened by moments with readjustment of personnel and even with the closing of some big workshops that had been emblematic until then. Today, fifty years later, several more modest companies have been created, which are also more chords with the new economic trends of the market.

3. ZUMAIA AND THE OCTOPUS

The Octopus and Zumaia have been together since the early days of the creation of the town. There has been a special relation between this animal and the town in which other towns, in Getaria, Zarautz or Deba (which they are 5, 10 and 16 km form Zumaia), has never occurred. The tradition of catching octopi on the coastline of Zumaia has been very typical and, and the octopus has become the essence of the culture and tradition of the town.

3.1. Fishing the octopus

There are 3 main places in Zumaia where people catch octopi: The rocks of Itzurun beach, Inpernupe and the coastline between Zumaia and Deba. The ideal moment is when the tide is not high. There have to be visible rocks to catch them, since the octopi are hidden in the holes which the rocks usually have. So, the more rocks are visible, the more chances are to catch them.  The hunt of the octopi requires a fish hook to grab the octopus. But, there are different techniques of catching octopi, and they change according to the place:

1-Looking the rests of crabs and other small sea animals in the entrance of the holes (so, there is a signal that the octopus is inside that hole) and catching them with a hook.

2-Using a stick covered with bait to attract octopi and, and when the octopi is visible, which they do not leave the hole if there is no bait, grab them with the hook, which is indispensable in all the cases.

Fishing octopi has been a tradition in Zumaia. But, not all the people can catch them easily. There are some families where the tradition of fishing octopi is very strong. Some individuals had caught 100 octopi in a day. But, they were other times, when the was much more octopi than nowadays. The pollution, the fishing vessels and the non-limit octopi fishing years have been very prejudicial to the coastline. Because of this, the government has regulated the amount of octopi that one individual can catch (one octopus and heavier than 750 g).

Every year when there are big tides a lot of people usually go the coastline to fish the octopi, and as some of them are very experienced, they fish more than 20 octopi on a day. Nowadays, it is illegal to fish more than one per day, but some people (specially the old people who have been fishing all their lives) still fish a lot of them. The octopus cannot be eaten after it is fished. It has to be treated, but there are different ways to treat it. And, the way it is cooked depends on who it is treated after fishing it.

The octopus is a strong animal, and if it is eaten immediately after it is fished it is very hard to eat as it is not tender enough to eat. So, it has to tenderized in the freezer for one week or more. But, Zumaia and the octopus have been related by many years, and the freezer is a relatively new item. So, how it was preserved or treated after it was fished?

If the octopus is fresh, and it is tenderized after a lot of hits, it is cooked with tomatoes, a la gallega or with peppers and onion. But, those cooking recipes are very common in other places like Asturias or Galicia, where there are traditions of fishing and cooking octopi. It was and still is common to cook in those ways. But, there is a recipe, which it needs dry octopus, that it is exclusively from Zumaia.

3.2. Drying the octopus

Drying octopi is not very common in the places where there is a tradition to fish octopi, but in Zumaia has been very typical to dry the octopi. The process of drying is the next:

1- After the octopus is dead, the octopus has to be cleaned and only the meat of the octopus is preserved. 2- The octopus Is put in a plastic bucket and it is kept there for 3-5 days. 3- The octopus has to be put up in a stick, and leave it for other 7-8 days. 4- When the octopus is dry, without any water inside it, it is finished the process.

When the octopus is dry, the size of the octopus is reduced 5 times. So, if the octopus is 1kg, after the drying, the octopus will be 200 g. The drying process is unique and exotic, but the dry octopus smells very strongly.

ARTICLE 3: AZPEITIA (Aitor Arenas And Ahmad Muhaisen)

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

Azpeitia was created in 1310 by a royal order of King Fernando IV. First, its original name was “Garmendia de Iraurgi” and a year later it was renamed “Salvatierra de Iraurgi”. The name “Azpeitia” started to be used in 1397. During the 13th and 14th centuries there were many fights and wars among prominent families that happened in the town. Notably, between the Oñaz and Gamboa families. In 1766, there was revolt in the town as a consequence of King Carlos V intention of liberalizing the selling and buying of wheat. For a brief period of time, there was even a revolutionary town council. However, this revolt was quickly repressed by troops sent from San Sebastian.

The steel and wood industries have historically been the main industries in Azpeitia. The Sanctuary of Loyola is its major touristic attraction, together with the Basque Railway Museum.

San Ignacio de Loyola (Founder of the Society of Jesus)

He was born in Loyola, Azpeitia, the Basque Country, in 1491 and died in Rome, Italy, in 1556. His family was part of the lordship of Biscay. As a young man, he worked in the service of the viceroy of Navarre. He was injured in both legs during the defence of Pamplona in 1521. Afterwards, during his recovery time, he started reading books with a religious theme. This made a big impact on his life. He then travelled to Catalonia, first to the monastery of Montserrat in 1522 and then to Manresa, where he retired in a cave to meditate for a year. Afterwards he wrote his most famous book, The Book of Spritual Exercises (Libro de los Ejercicios Espirituales). After various travels to Rome, Barcelona, Alcalá de Henares and Salamanca, he went to Paris in 1528. In the French capital, he studied philosophy and theology. Together with some other students he founded the original core of the Society of Jesus, which received the approval of the Vatican in 1540 and chose San Ignacio as their superior general. Afterwards, the Jesuits extended all over the world, starting first in Europe and then in America. When he died, San Ignacio was declared a saint by the Roman Catholic Church.

The Basque Railway Museum (Museo Vasco del Ferrocarril)

The museum is situated in the old Urola railway station, a line which connected Zumaia and Zumárraga. The Basque Railway Museum has one of the best railway collections in Europe, with vehicles of all types: steam locomotives, diesel and electric; automotive and different kinds of cars.

In addition, the museum offers one of the most complete sets of machine tools in Euskadi, through the old garage Urola Railroad. This installation is preserved as it was inaugurated in 1925, with an old electric motor that drives its 16 machines through a complex system of pulleys, belts and muddy. Nowadays, the old train does no longer operate its service. However, the train travel between Azpeitia and Lasao is an important tourist attraction.

The amazing facilities of the old electrical transformer plant with its original equipment rectification, mercury vapor, reflect the most modern technology of a century ago.

On the first floor of the central building of the old station at Azpeitia, there is an exceptional sample of the uniforms used in the railroads since the late nineteenth century to the AVE. On the second floor we find a great collection of railway clocks . Nowadays, the train museum is operated by Eusko Tren, which is a public company responsible for train transport, under control of the Basque government. This line is no longer operated as a service. However, a train journey between Azpeitia and nearby Lasao is still in operation as a tourist attraction. Every year thousands of tourists visit the railway museum.

Civil War In Azpeitia

Recently, a book has been presented in the Azpeitia Town Council by Aranzadi and supported by the Basque government. It is about the impact of a very relevant event such as the Spanish Civil War and the first years of Franco´s regime in Azpeitia. Its name is Azpeitia 1936-1945. It makes a point about how those historical events affected daily live. The book has been written as a detailed comment about those events, but also as homage to the men and women that lost the war (basque nationalist and left-wing republican militants) and suffered the repression of the dictatorship afterwards. The book has, notably, an alphabetic index in which we can find many citizens of Azpeitia of the time (with a summary of their political militancy and activities during and after the Civil War). Moreover, lots of images of the historical documents of the time can be found in the book.

In the case of Azpeitia, the main sides in opposition were carlists (carlistas) (traditionalist basque foralists, supporting General Franco) and Basque Nationalists from EAJ-PNV (supporting the Spanish Republic). There were also falangists and left-wing militants (from UGT and Izquierda Republicana) and some (few) anarquists. Francoist troops entered Azpeitia in September, 1936. Shortly afterwards, they burned the ikurriña (basque flag) and Spanish Republican flag that were standing on the town hall. Shortly afterwards, a new council was created dominated by Carlists and traditionalists.

Azpeita has always been characterized by a wide use of the Basque language (Euskara), but its use was repressed after Francisco Franco´s victory. Franco himself visited Azpeitia in 1939 and in 1945 (he visited the Loyola Sanctuary, notably).


THE EMPARAN TOWER HOUSE

Its building process started in 1320. It was the property of one of the most powerful Basque families of the time, the Oñatz family. In 1456, the upper part of the tower was destroyed by order of Henry IV. It was repaired in 1535. In 1750, numerous baroque elements typical of the time were added and the tower, now a palace, acquired its current appearance. Nowadays, the palace is Azpeitia´s local public library.

THE HERMITAGE OF OUR LADY OF OLATZ

It is situated half way between Azpeitia and Loyola. It was built in the late 13th and early 14th centuries. It contains a polychrome Gothic carving of Our Lady of Olatz, for whom it is said that San Ignatius felt a special devotion.The private boards of Gipuzkoa held their meetings here until the beginning of the 18th century.

THE HOSPITAL AND HERMITAGE OF MAGDALENA

In 1535, after completing his studies in Paris, when Íñigo de Loyola (Saint Ignatius) arrived in Azpeitia, he was ill.However, instead of residing in the family tower house, he chose to stay in this hospital and leprosarium, together with the poorest patients. He used to preach there. He also is said to have walked the streets begging for food and help for those who were ill, homeless and unprotected. Nowadays, the old hospital is used as an Ignatian interpretation centre.

THE CHURCH OF SAN SEBASTIÁN DE SOREASU

Built by the Templars between the 16th and 18th centuries, it underwent extensive restructuring and only the tower of the old temple was conserved.The original portico was replaced in 1771 with a frontispiece designed by Francisco Ibero. The church has eight chapels in total. The Baroque altarpiece and the baptismal font where Íñigo de Loyola was christianized are of oustanding beauty.

EARLY LIFE AND EDUCATION

Gotzon Mantuliz Dudagoitia was born August 10, 1988 in Getxo, Vizcaya, Basque Country, but he lives in Berango from his early childhood. He attended primary, secondary and high school education in Gaztelueta, Leioa. He completed his studies at the School of Nursing in the University of the Basque Country (UPV), from which he holds a diploma in nursing since 2010. In his eagerness to always being interested in learning new things, he always showed an excessive interest for adventure. Perhaps, because of that, he decided to travel to Ireland for 2 months and work in a supermarket when he was just 16. His concerns have always led him to convine his studies with different type of works. He has been a painter, a shop assistant in a surf shop, a waiter at The Image Club, one of the most important clubs in the Basque Country, a graphic designer and an adventure travel guide for Marco Polo Club agency, among other things. His interest in clothes and design led him to embark on a new project: the creation of an ecological brand called Hakaö, which allocates part of the profits to fight for charitable causes in favor of the environment and animals. Over the years, travelling has become another of his true passions. He has travelled much of Europe, Turkey, Costa Rica, Argentina, Jamaica, Thailand, Africa and other remote places.


El CONQUISTADOR DEL FIN DEL MUNDO 5ª EDICIÓN (2009)

In 2009, with just 19 years, he joined the most successful program of ETB, El Conquistador del Fin del Mundo. He did so with the sole intention to be tested, to learn the limits of his body and see how far he could get. His affable nature and excellent physical condition made him the most deserving winner of the contest, beating five grueling duels and breaking all records of the program. Little did he know what his appearance on television was going to report him. At the broadcasting of the final, up to 500,000 spectators watched the show during the two and a half hours that it lasted. Gotzon became a well-known image in the Basque region, and the audience recognized him as the favorite audience participant with the 85% of votes. Over the next few weeks, Gotzon visited most of the sets of the Basque television, gave interviews to the main news of the Basque Country and his image became an attraction for teens and parents, who saw him as an example of good values.


GOTZON MANTULIZ. DIARIO DE UN CONQUISTADOR

His time in the contest opened doors to new projects, like collecting his experience on the reality of adventure in a book. With the help of Gorka Larrumbide, a basque journalist who shaped the history of the novel, Gotzon published his first novel, “Gotzon Mantuliz. Diario de un Conquistador”, in 2010. It was a best-seller in the Basque Country, being for several weeks in the list of the best selling books and receiving rave reviews from the press.


ACTIVITY AS A MODEL

His fresh and casual image led him to start modeling, collaborating and working with some of the most important photographers of the time, such as Lucho Rengifo, Pedro Usabiaga or Carlos Hernandez, noting his great potential. Gotzon has collaborated with brands such as Hugo Boss and Xtg, and has been the advertising face of brands such as Vans and Reef. A few years ago now, he participated in solidarity parades as a model posing with clothing for sport brands such as Nike. For two years, he was the face of the launch of the Euskaltel orange shirt for the Tour de France, and has also served as a judge in the Miss and Mister Euskadi contest. Gotzon was image of the advertising campaign conducted by El Diario Vasco lending his image for promotional shirts of “El Conquistador del Fin del Mundo”, which quickly sold out.


TV COLLABORATIONS

In 2011, he combined his job as a model with working in one of the most successful programs of ETB “El Conquis: La aventura”. Also, each week he had his own section in the program called “El juego del Conquistador”, which was presented through the website. He received several proposals to participate in Supervivientes 2011, a reality show emited in Telecinco. However, he rejected the offer because he didn´t like the factors such as visiting other programs of the TV channel that lend themselves to discussion and conflict once the adventure has finished. Currently, thanks to the experience he obtained by being a guide in countries such as Africa, and all the sports that he practices, he travels with the team of “El Conquistador del Fin del Mundo” to test the activities and interview the participants, which is shown in the debate with his section “GotzON”. In 2015 he was premiered as a TV presenter with the program “Safari Wazungu”, which was cancelled due to its poor ratings. Nonetheless, it will resume its broadcasting once “El Conquistador del Amazonas” ends.


SAFARI WAZUNGU TV SHOW

This TV show is a new reality format in which eight unique characters will go on a safari through Africa, ready to meet whatever adventure throws at them. The aim is clear:to find the best explorer. Africa is the chosen stage to hold this original road movie, and Gotzon Mantuliz, the winner of 'El Conquistador del Fin del Mundo' and a professional guide in this kind of trips, will be the presenter of this peculiar safari, helped by a team of African guides. 'Safari Wazungu' is not a survival program for, it is rather an adventure where the coexistence between the characters and their ability to adapt to an environment so strangely unknown to them prevails. For this reason the program has been named with "wazungu", a swahili term that is used in many parts of Africa to refer to Europeans, "whites" who visit them, something like the "foreigners" of the place. In each episode, “wazungus” will face challenges that will prove their courage and their capacity to surpass themselves. They will have to live together and demonstrate their ability to adapt to the new environment, to face dramatic challenges that will test their courage and ability to overcome themselves. These are the contestants and companions of Gotzon Mantuliz in the African adventure:Ramón Roteta, Virginia Berasategi, eat Mitogo, Eduardo Iturralde Gonzalez, Arantza Garcés, Begoña Alonso, Yong Li, and Yogurinha Borova. However, the program was cancelled due to its poor ratings. Nonetheless, its broadcast will come back once “El Conquistador del Amazonas” ends.


AVENTÚRAT

His adventurous spirit led him to create, from his official website, a section called 'AventúraT' where his followers proposed him challenges that he had to overcome and presents with powerful and spectacular videos and photos.
