In Red City, Blue Period, Kaplan combines the methods of
anthropology and the new cultural history to examine the civic
culture of Barcelona between 1888 and 1939. She analyzes the
peculiar sense of solidarity the citizens forged and explains why
shared experiences of civic culture and pageantry sometimes
galvanized resistance to authoritarian national governments but
could not always overcome local class and gender struggles. She
sheds light on the process by which principles of regional freedom
and economic equity developed and changed in a city long known for
its commitment to human dignity and artistic achievement. Although
scholars increasingly recognize the relationship between so-called
high art and popular culture, little has been done to explain what
opens the eyes of artists to folk figures and religious art. Kaplan
shows how artists like Picasso and Joan Miro, playwright Santiago
Russinyol, the cellist Pablo Casals, and the architect Antonio
Gaudi, as well as anarchists and other political activists, both
shaped and were influenced by the artistic and political culture of
Barcelona.
