Désir d’identité et revendication institutionnelle en Pays Basque français

Abstract

Man’s hypermodern life nowadays denotes a sense of curiosity and open-mindedness, through which man contemplates living life as intensely as possible in a globalized world. With the convergence of multiple networks, their memberships, knowledge, experience and visits proliferate. However, in a world in which everything is scattered, fragmented and accelerated, man also requires a point to which he is rooted, an intangible identity and a social and historical fidelity. Identity behaviours in the French-Basque Country arise from said logic of rootedness in addition to a simple logic of natural reproduction.
