- This Basque-language monograph of over 42,000 words is the culmination of a complex piece of research that also gave rise to a PhD thesis. Aiming to assess the incidence of postmodernism in contemporary Bascophone narrative, the project involved identifying a complex target corpus. This, in turn, necessitated the assembling of multiple perspectives on modernism and postmodernism into a specially-designed interpretive framework. The result is a taxonomy of worldviews in contemporary Bascophone narrative arising from the analysis of 10 novels, selected from a much larger corpus, and a theoretical reformulation of the evolution from modernism to postmodernism in Basque literature.

- English abstract
- This monograph presents a typology of the various world views deployed in contemporary Basque-language novels, analysing the stance adopted by authors on fundamental philosophical questions such as the nature of reality or the limits of human knowledge. The criteria to establish the taxonomy are those of reason and telos, which have been central to the debates of the last third of the twentieth century around the project of Modernity and the response given to it by postmodernism. Thus the proposed typology delineates an evolution in contemporary Basque-language novels from essentialist representations of reality and identity to non-essentialist ones.
