Creative Output

While the term "Gotta" traditionally refers to the metabolic arthritis historically associated with excess (the "disease of kings"), in the Galician context, it undergoes a semantic inversion. Here, it is not a disease of over-consumption, but of retention—the retention of memory, of rain, of history. It is the accumulation of centuries of marginalization and the diaspora of the Galegos . This paper seeks to deconstruct the "Gotta" as a cultural symptom, arguing that it is the primary mechanism through which Galicians process the trauma of emigration and the existential reality of living at the "end of the world."
