Abstract
Abstract With the granting of autonomy to Galicia in 1981, questions of identity became less focused on nationalist politics and were incorporated into more open public debate. Activities seen as representing a kind of Galicianness started to enjoy official support in order to give an impetus to the new institutions of the Xunta de Galicia. Symbols and marks of identity formerly used only in Galician nationalist dis course started to be appropriated, and in some cases reformulated and refashioned, by the new institutions which throughout have been under the control of the conservative Partido Popular. The resulting process, centred on the written language, national symbols, and even the names of the new institutions, has been complex and dogged by controversy (Cores Trasmonte 1986). Within this context, the playing of bagpipes has experienced a steady growth, becoming prominent in Galician music of the 1990s.
