Lidia Montesinos Llinares
Dr. Lidia Montesinos Llinares holds a BA in Anthropology from the University of Barcelona and a BA in Philosophy from the University of Valencia. She was awarded her Ph.D. in 2013 with the doctoral dissertation IRALIKU’K: Ethnography and History of Property Relations in Goizueta, supervised by Professor of Social Anthropology Ignasi Terradas. Her main line of research focuses on possessory relations in agro-pastoral communities from a long-term legal and historical perspective, with particular attention to forms of communal organization in the Basque–Navarrese area. Within this field, she has also addressed environmental and economic issues from an explicitly political perspective.
Among her numerous publications, special mention should be made of the edited monographic issue La Antropología y los comunes. Una aproximación crítica a las formas de apropiación co-edited with Mireia Campanera (Revista de Antropología Social Vol. 26 Núm. 2; 2017), as well as the articles La antropología y el derecho ante los fenómenos posesorios: entre la comunidad y la propiedad (Revista de Antropología Social, 24, 53-81; 2015); La crisis del caserío vasco y del sistema de herencia indivisa (Martínez Zorrilla, David y Vial-Dumas, Manuel (coord.) 2017: Las múltiples caras de la herencia. Huygens Editorial) and Apoyo mutuo, economías solitarias y supervivencia sostenible (Narotzky, Susana (ed.) 2013: Economías cotidianas, economías sociales, economías sostenibles. Icaria Editorial: Barcelona).
She has also worked in the field of cultural management, where she has developed exhibition projects and produced various publications in collaboration with artists and social collectives. In addition, she has taught courses on research methodology and academic writing at the Doctoral School of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), and has carried out several applied anthropology studies on gender equality in festive contexts and intangible cultural heritage. This work has resulted in several significant publications, including A Vindication of the Rights of Women: Equal Participation in Rituals in a Festival Context (Márquez Porras, R., Mazzola, R., Terradas Saborit, I. (eds.) 2022), Vindicatory Justice, Ius Gentium: Comparative Perspectives on Law and Justice (vol. 93, Springer) and Vindications and Customs: Women’s Participation in Local Festive Rituals in Spain (Electronic Journal of Folklore, 2022).
She is currently an Assistant Professor (Ayudante Doctora) in the Department of Philosophy of Values and Social Anthropology at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU).
