The Global Cultural Capital
Palgrave Macmillan (Verlag)
978-1-349-71050-8 (ISBN)
Scrutinizing municipal discourses on culture from the late 1970s, this interdisciplinary work unveils how ideas of the function and nature of citizenship articulate changing definitions of the city, from model to brand. Over the course of topics such as: tourism, social democracy and urban regeneration, Balibrea constructs an original argument for how the Barcelona image mobilizes neoliberal fantasies of subject transformation. A wide-ranging study, this book will be of great interest to scholars of urban geography, sociology and cultural studies.
Mari Paz Balibrea lectures on Spanish Cultural Studies at Birkbeck, University of London, where she directs the Centre for Iberian and Latin American Visual Studies. She has published widely on contemporary Barcelona, including the articles Barcelona, from Model to Brand, Becoming Mediterranean: The Resignification of the Sea in Post-Industrial Barcelona and Urbanism, Culture and the Post-Industrial City: Challenging the ‘Barcelona Model’.
