José Arbués Possat, a direct witness to this reality, reconstructs the rich intangible heritage of his village, from its traditions and customs to the daily use of the Aragonese language. The reader will find an exhaustive vocabulary of more than 2,200 Aragonese terms, idioms, and the complete toponymy of the place, all presented with a profound love for this inherited culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is a journey to the heart of the popular culture of Fuencalderas. Through the author's attentive gaze, the traditions and customs that defined the lives of its inhabitants until a few decades ago are explored. The work is structured around two fundamental axes: on one hand, the description of the social, festive, and work-related practices that shaped daily life; on the other, the linguistic analysis that demonstrates the vitality of Aragonese in the region. The extensive vocabulary compiled, along with the idioms and toponymy, does not only document a way of speaking, but reveals a way of understanding and naming the world, offering an integral vision of local identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eEthnography and traditional life in the Cinco Villas of Zaragoza.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAragonese language: vocabulary, phraseology, and toponymy of Fuencalderas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eOral memory and the transmission of intangible cultural heritage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFestive, work, and social customs of a rural community.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCultural identity and connection to the territory.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at scholars of Aragonese philology, ethnographers, social and cultural anthropologists, as well as anyone interested in the popular culture and linguistic heritage of Aragon.
