This study examines contemporary Spanish dystopian literature and
films (in)directly related to the 2008 financial crisis from an
urban cultural studies perspective. It explores culturally-charged
landscapes that effectively convey the zeitgeist and reveal
deep-rooted anxieties about issues such as globalization,
consumerism, immigration, speculation, precarity, and political
resistance (particularly by Indignados [Indignant Ones] from the
15-M Movement). The book loosely traces the trajectory of the
crisis, with the first part looking at texts that underscore some
of the behaviors that indirectly contributed to the crisis, and the
remaining chapters focusing on works that directly examine the
crisis and its aftermath. This close reading of texts and films by
Ray Loriga, Elia Barcelo, Ion de Sosa, Jose Ardillo, David
Llorente, Eduardo Vaquerizo, and Ricardo Menendez Salmon offers
insights into the creative ways that these authors and directors
use spatial constructions to capture the dystopian imagination.
