other than that Spain would not exist :)
Acctually the anthropologichal sentence is that beside cursing and football there is nothing that "we all spaniards" share.
I add housing situation and justice system... but an anthropologists could claim that they only exist becasue of the State.. he he.. I am not so sure about it... specially regarding housing .. y el tocho...
Una, grande y construida.
A pleasure I therefore claim to show, not how men think in myths, but how myths operate in men's minds without their being aware of the fact. Levi-Strauss, Claude
A friend of mine once said that the difference between the Spanish and French Basque countries is that on the Spanish side, people party all night long.
Is that also a difference between Barcelona and Motpellier or Toulouse? Bush is a symptom, not the disease.
I guess once upon a time middle-cities in Spain did not have the night-life.. but now.. I would say that cursing, partying late and football are things we all share.. yes.. they are part of the spanish fundamental mythology... and this is serious... one day we should explain it. Why cursing mythology is so different here, why football is the same .. and why late.night partying...
Oh.. by the way I have a friend from Galicia who affirms that dating rithuals also have a key mythological feature in all Spain.. but a generality is very different than a fundamental stuff... but he did made a point about it.
