During the last decade of Franco's repressive rule, the Spanish
outlook on sex, drugs, and fashion shifted dramatically, creating a
favourable cultural environment for the return of democracy.
Exploring changes in urban planning, narratives of sexual and
gender identity, recreational drug use, and fashion design during
the seventies, Sex, Drugs, and Fashion in 1970s Madrid argues that
it was during this decade that the material and emotional
conditions for the groundbreaking transition to democracy first
began to develop. Thanks in part to a mass media saturated with
international trends, citizens of Madrid began to adopt practices,
behaviours, and attitudes that would ultimately render Franco's
military dictatorship obsolete. This cultural history examines
these modest but irreversible changes in the way people lived and
thought about their lives during the last decade of the regime's
creed. Not a revolution necessarily, but transformational
nevertheless, these changes in collective sensibility eased the
political transition to democracy and the emergence of the 1980s'
cultural movement la Movida.
