A la Catalunya del segle XVII destaquen alguns gravadors xilogràfics, com Llorenç Deu (ca.1580-1648) o Joan Jolis (1675-1705), però,sens dubte, el lloc estel·lar i de primer ordre correspon a Pere abadal (ca.1630-1684), que, tant per la quantitat com per la qualitat de la seva producció, supera amb escreix la resta dels gravadors xilogràfics coneguts a Espanya en aquest moment. Pere Abadal grava les seves excel·lents estampes entre els anys 1650 i 1684 al taller de Moià (Barcelona) i és el patriarca d'un fecund llinatge de gravadors-impressors que posteriorment es bifurcaran per diferents zones del país (Igualada, Manresa, Mataró, Puigcerdà o la mateixa ciutat de Barcelona). Els seus descendents donaran també lloc a tallers molt actius que es prolongaran fins ben entrat el segle XX. L'obra gràfica dels Abadal és un exponent de la cultura majoritària, que ens revela els gustos i l'imaginari social de la Catalunya dels segles XVII i XVIII.
Since the closing decades of the nineteenth century, Barcelona has striven to sustain an image of modernity that distinguishes itself within Spain. Barcelona's Vocation of Modernity traces the development of that image through texts that foreground key social and historical issues. It begins with Barcelona's "coming of age" in the 1888 Universal Exposition and focuses on the first major narrative work of modern Catalan literature, La febre d'or. Positing an inextricable link between literature and modernity, Resina establishes a literary framework for the evolution of the image of Barcelona's modernity through the 1980s, when the consciousness of modernity took on an ironic circularity. Because the city is an aggregation of knowledge, Resina draws from sociology, urban studies, sociolinguistics, history, psychoanalysis, and literary history to produce a complex account of Barcelona's self-reflection through culture. The last chapter offers a glimpse into the "post-historical" city, where temporality has been sacrificed to the spatialization associated with the seductions of the spectacle.
