An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool
University Press website and the OAPEN library. Spanish Spaces is a
pioneering study that marries contemporary cultural geography with
contemporary Spanish culture. The field of cultural geography has
grown both extensively and rapidly, as has the field of cultural
analysis and debate on Spanish cultural texts; yet despite a
convergence in study between cultural geography (and cultural
studies more widely) and cultural texts themselves, this has made
little impact to date within the area of contemporary Spanish
cultural studies. Yet Spain's varied terrain, with complex
negotiations between rural, urban and coastal (negotiations that
have on occasion spilled over into political and violent conflict),
and perhaps its very lack of a contemporary landscape tradition
familiar to British and German cultural studies, offer the
opportunity for fresh insights into questions of landscape, space
and place. Drawing on case studies from contemporary Spanish film
and literature, Davies explores the themes of memory and
forgetting, nationalism and terrorism, crime and detection, gender,
tourism and immigration, investigating what it means to think of
space and places in specifically Spanish terms.
