Este artículo pretende mostrar las tensiones que se generan entre los modos de trabajo del sujeto artista y los modos de funcionar que se establece habitualmente en los centros de producción cultural/artística de carácter público. Esta relación entre artista e institución, a pesar de que pueda ser considerada desde parámetros de interdependencia, a menudo se desarrolla desde el enfrentamiento y la dis-crepancia. Sin dejar de lado inevitablemente lo estético o político, se marca como objetivo detectar los puntos de conflicto más usuales que surgen en esa zona de contacto. Las formas de articular, las relaciones que se establecen, lo temporal (tiempos de producción versus temporalidad institucional), la mediación, la zona de contacto... son algunos de los conceptos claves que aparecerán a partir de un caso de estudio concreto: los proyectos llevados a cabo en el contexto de Donos-tia/San Sebastián Capitalidad Cultural Europea 2016. Esta investigación emerge desde un tipo de conocimiento situado dentro y fuera del propio proyecto de capi-talidad que responde a la trayectoria misma de la autora: investigadora cultural ygestora cultural en el citado proyecto. This article intends to show the tensions that emerged between the artist’s way to work and the framework conditions of cultural/artistic institutions with a public nature. This relationship between artist and institution, although it could be con-sidered from interdependence parameters, is often developed from the confron-tation and discrepancy. Without necessarily leaving aside the aesthetic or political, the objective is to detect the most usual points of conflicts that arise in this contact zone. The forms of articulation, the relationships established, the time frame (time of production versus institutional temporality), the mediation, the contact zone... these are some of the key concept that will come out from a specific case study: projects carried out in the context of Donostia/San Sebastián 2016, European Cap- ital of Culture. This research emerge from a type of knowledge located inside and outside the European Capital of Culture project itself that responds to the profes- sional trajectory of the author: cultural researcher and cultural manager of theaforementioned project.

The Intercultural and Bilingual Education program in Chile requires intercultural and bilingual preschools to work collaboratively with Mapuche communities to offer a relevant education for Indigenous children; however, no researchers have studied this partnership. In this context, the main objective of this study is to examine the relationships within the communities that have emerged around intercultural and bilingual preschools in Región Metropolitana, Chile. Using the notion of contact zone (Pratt, 1992) we analyze characteristics of the ties developed between members of the preschool institution and the participants of the Mapuche communities. To address this goal, we conducted a qualitative case study, and with ethnographic techniques we collected data using semi-structured interviews, participant observation and group conversations in two preschools; data were codified and categorized with thematic analysis. The main findings show that in this contact zone, the Mapuche communities participate primarily in cultural events, the Educators of Indigenous Language and Culture (ELCIs) are poorly valued and, outside the classrooms these partnerships are seen as learning spaces by the preschool teachers.

The growth in the popularity of Wales as travel destination in the late eighteenth century is sketched, while the relative ‘invisibility’ of Wales in travel writing as well as in scholarship is noted. ‘Europe’ is presented as a fluid entity, and the ‘nationalities’ of the travellers discussed is problematized (e.g. a number of the French travellers studied identify as Breton, and the notion of ‘Germany’ encompasses numerous states and political alliances over time). Since Wales’s ‘Celticness’ is a major theme for travellers throughout the periods under discussion, the changing uses of the term ‘Celtic’ (and its derivatives) are explored. Wales is positioned as a case study or an exemplar of a particular type of relationship between peripheral and hegemonic culture(s), through a discussion of general theoretical issues surrounding the ethics of travel, the contact zone and the notion of the travellee. This draws on work by Cronin on minorities, Forsdick on ethics, Pratt on the contact zone and travellees, and Urbain on endotic/exotic travel.
