Critical review of the "Fêtes de Bayonne / Baionako Bestak"
Abstract
Abstract: This article presents a state of the art of the study of the important "Fêtes de Bayonne / Baionako Bestak", from different sociological and geographical perspectives. After the critical review of several works, and studies on the festivals in southern Europe, a new vision is proposed. This highlights the promi-nence of the popular agents –‘peñas’ and ‘cuadrillas’– during the Bayonne festivals, and places emphasis on its Basque identity dimension. Keywords: Festivals. Public space. Peñas. Sociability. Collective identities. Garat. Joron. Steiner. Bayonne.Downloads
