While the simultaneously creative and destructive forces of
modernity in Western Europe have been well studied, the case of
Spain has often been overlooked. Visualizing Spanish Modernity
concentrates on the time period 1868-1939, which marks not only the
beginning of the formation of a modern economy and the
consolidation of the liberal state, but also the growth of urban
centers and spaces made possible by electricity, transportation,
mass production and the emergence of an entertainment industry. The
authors examine how mass print culture, early cinema, popular
drama, photography, fashion, painting, museums and urban planning
played a role in the way that Spanish society saw itself and was in
turn seen by the rest of the world. Assessing how new cultural
forms were instrumental in shaping Spaniards into citizens of the
modern world, the authors consider such subjects as the spectacle
of the body, notions of race and gender, the changing meanings of
time, space and motion, the relationship between technology and
everyday life and popular culture.
