Shibboleths #4, #5 and #6, in BCNMés

More Shibboleths, online in BCNMés


ENG
Now published online the most recent three articles in English of my series "Shibboleths", in BCNMés, the trilingual monthly magazine published in Barcelona. In "Shibbolets" I reflect on dominant dogmas and clichés of Barcelona and Catalan culture and society. 

For Shibboleths #4, Pedagogically Displeased, I wonder why Catalans educate their children against their own principles. 

In #5, Together, Forever, I reflect on how the happy family culture of Catalan youth clubs makes togetherness so important, irritatingly so. 

The most recent, #6, deals with gastronomic arrogance and its contradictions, in The Mediterranean Diet.
