In tracing the intersections drawn and redrawn by capital in the capital city of Spain Cartographies of Madrid assesses how the Global South and the Global North coexist in the same geographic space, and the ways in which this cohabitation has resulted in a challenge to urban exclusion and the notion of "politics as usual." The book brings together essays by acclaimed scholars from the US and Spain. Ideal for anyone with interest in urban studies, global studies, and Spanish Cultural Studies"-- Klappentext: One of this book's goals is to evaluate the complex ways that Madrid has served as the political, economic, and cultural capital of the Global South from the end of the Franco dictatorship to the present. The other is to examine the city as lived experience, where citizens contest capital's push to shape urban space in its own image through activities of the imagination. Scholars, investigative journalists, political activists, and a filmmaker combine to document the vast array of Madrid's grassroots movements. |
