- This book is the outcome of twelve years of research, providing a novel approach to Barcelona’s urban development under neoliberalism. Based on original archival and/or multi-disciplinary theoretical research, the concept of urban citizenship is used as common ground to analyse pre-democratic activism, (post)Olympic processes, sports and film, demonstrating how the image of Barcelona mobilizes neoliberal fantasies of subject transformation. Weaving together urban geography, sociology and cultural studies approaches, the book represents an unparalleled combination of theoretical grasp, historical specificity and insight into local-global residence, working at the crossroads of cultural, political, social, economic and urban discourses.
