Barcelona, City of Margins studies the creation of a space of
dissent in the 1950s and 1960s that became the pillar of the
protest movements during the final years of the Franco dictatorship
and the transition to democracy. This space of dissent took shape
in the margins of what is considered the official space of the city
of Barcelona, revealing the interconnection of urbanism,
literature, and photography in the formation of the political,
social, and cultural movements to come in the 1970s. Olga Sendra
Ferrer draws from theoretical readings on built environments,
neighbourhoods, housing projects and developments, and everyday
life within Spanish urban spaces. Literature and photography
demonstrate the political value of cultural production and forms of
cultural representation that occur from peripheral zones - those
pushed aside by exclusionary politics, fascist forms of control,
surveillance, and homogenization. In search of the origins of the
protest movements and counter culture that would come in the final
years of the Franco regime, Barcelona, City of Margins asserts the
value of urban movement and cultural practice as a challenge to the
spatial and urbanistic regime of Francoism.
