This book argues the crucial role of culture and cultural policies
in defining the notion of urban citizenship in Barcelona since
1979. Through analysis of official documents, municipal publicity
campaigns, sport - including the Olympic Games and Barcelona F.C -
and film, Balibrea makes sense of the city as a global cultural
destination and reveals how such transformation impacts local
inhabitants. Scrutinizing municipal discourses on culture from the
late 1970s, this interdisciplinary work unveils how ideas of the
function and nature of citizenship articulate changing definitions
of the city, from model to brand. Over the course of topics such
as: tourism, social democracy and urban regeneration, Balibrea
constructs an original argument for how the Barcelona image
mobilizes neoliberal fantasies of subject transformation. A
wide-ranging study, this book will be of great interest to scholars
of urban geography, sociology and cultural studies.
