Category talk:Culture of Catalonia

European Culture or Spanish Culture

I think that as a State/Community of Spain, Catalonia's culture should be included as a subsection of Culture of Spain/Spanish culture.--Karljoos (talk) 13:55, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Dear Karljoos, first of all thank you for having notified this change to my talk page and thus giving me the opportunity to discuss it here. I confess it is hard to me to follow the logic underlying your recent edits here. In a first movement you have erased "Category:Culture by nationality" arguing that Catalonia is not a nationality. This may be contradicted by Spanish constitution, which explicitly talks about "nationalities" and "regions" in Spain; but forget that and assume that you are right and this category does not apply. Then, I understand that this "Category:Catalan culture" is not a political one, but purely cultural. But then, in a second move you change "Category:European culture" to "Category:Spanish culture" which kind of suggests that "Catalan culture" is encompassed by "Spanish culture". But, accepting your first move, i.e. that this was intended to be interpreted from a cultural, not political, point of view, I have argued that as a cultural concept "Catalan" applies as well to cultural reality in Roussillon, and therefore this European context fits better. However, strangely enough, you revert my change by arguing that "It does not fit the concept of nation within Europe, though, while Spain does.", and thus talking again about nations after having erased "Category:Culture by nationality". I would kindly ask you to make a coherent proposal, explaining under which logic we should understand this category, so that we can reach an agreement here. Cheers. --Carles Noguera (talk) 13:18, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

So, any thoughts about it? --Carles Noguera (talk) 13:21, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
