Julieta Gaztañaga is an Argentine anthropologist (PhD, MSc, BA) specialist in the political anthropology of Argentina and the Basque Country. She is a Researcher at the National Scientific and Technical Research Council and an Associate Professor at the University of Buenos Aires (Social Communication Studies and Department of Anthropology). She has carried out extensive ethnographic fieldwork in various provinces of Argentina and southern Brazil, focusing on electoral processes, public works and road infrastructure, integration processes, Peronism, and federalism. Her current research is about social movements in the Basque Country, in fields that include self-determination claims, sovereignty, political imagination, and nationalism. She has received academic recognition in Argentina and acted as visiting scholar in the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), France (EHESS), England (Manchester and LSE), Chile (U.C. del Maule) and Brazil (Museu Nacional-PPGAS). She has an extensive record of publications and large experience of directing funded research projects and research advisership. In addition to his academic work, she is also dedicated to the field of visual arts, in which he has been systematically trained since 1990’s. The fusion of both interests is condensed in the search for a political and aesthetic expression of social life from a Heraclitean vision of the creation and transformation of human possibilities.
