OCHO APELLIDOS VASCOS. Un análisis de estereotipos vascos

Sammanfattning: This dissertation aims to loot at and analyze the stereotypes and the portrayal of Basques in the film Ocho apellidos vascos (Emilio Martínez-Lázaro, 2014). This comedy is built up on the clash between some characters, from Andalusia and the Basque Country, that interact in the movie. Thus, Andalusia and Basque Country are presented as a ground where to explore the clash between the two ways of understanding life. The aim is also to explore how Basques have been described along the 20th Century and the stereotypes that were built around the Basques and are also present in this movie. The question is whether the stereotypes presented are in this movie are an evolution of the classical ones or not. For that a comparison between the classical stereotypes and those presented in Ocho apellidos vascos will be drawn, being the later a reproduction of the classic ones.
