Locality, Regeneration & Divers[c]ities
As British cities lose the cultural connections with their industrial past, many seek to build new postindustrial futures through urban regeneration. Art projects play a key role in policymaking that aims to regenerate neglected neighbourhoods. This study focuses particularly on the ways in which newlydeveloped cultural institutions tend to be flagships for regeneration the Tate Modern in Southwark is one such example.

The Art of Pere Joan
Born in Mallorca, Pere Joan Riera (known professionally as Pere Joan) thrived in the underground comics world, beginning in the mid-1970s with the self-published collections Baladas Urbanas and MuŽrdago, both of which were released almost immediately after the death of the dictator Francisco Franco and Spain's transition to democracy. The first monograph in English on a comics artist from the Spain, The Art of Pere Joan takes a topographical approach to reading comics, applying theories of cultural and urban geography to Pere Joan’s treament of space and landscape in his singular body of work. Balancing this goal with an exploration of specific works by Pere Joan, Benjamin Fraser demonstrates that looking at the thematic, structural, and aesthetic originality of the artist's landscape-driven work can help us begin to newly understand the representational properties of comics as a spatial medium. This in-depth examination reveals the resonance between the cultural landscapes of Mallorca and Pere Joan's metaphorical approach to both rural and urban environments in comics that weave emotional, ecological, and artistic strands in revolutionary ways.

Toward a Cultural Archive of la Movida
Toward a Cultural Archive of la Movida revisits the cultural and social milieu in which laMovida, an explosion of artistic production in the late 1970s and early 1980s, was articulated discursively, aesthetically, socially, and politically. We connect this experience with a broader national and international context that takes it beyond the city of Madrid and outside the borders of Spain. This collection of essays links the political and social undertakings of this cultural period with youth movements in Spain and other international counter-cultural or underground movements. Moving away from biographical experiences or the identification of further participants and works that belong to laMo...
The French Comics Theory Reader
Key French-language theoretical texts on comics translated into English for the first time The French Comics Theory Reader presents a collection of key theoretical texts on comics, spanning a period from the 1960s to the 2010s, written in French and never before translated into English. The publication brings a distinctive set of authors together uniting theoretical scholars, artists, journalists, and comics critics. Readers will gain access to important debates that have taken place among major French-language comics scholars, including Thierry Groensteen, Benoît Peeters, Jan Baetens, and Pierre Fresnault-Deruelle, over the past fifty years. The collection covers a broad range of approaches to the medium, including historical, formal, sociological, philosophical, and psychoanalytic. A general introduction provides an overall context, and, in addition, each of the four thematic sections is prefaced by a brief summary of each text and an explanation of how they have influenced later work. The translations are faithful to the originals while reading clearly in English, and, where necessary, cultural references are clarified.
Un lugar inacabado
La memoria invisible de las mujeres represaliadas es una deuda de la ciudad de Barcelona con el reconocimiento de su historia. Fue la sociedad civil la que inició un proceso abierto y colaborativo que, desde 2006, ha ido tejiendo una red de actividades para transmitir y conocer en profundidad la historia de la represión en la Cárcel de Mujeres de Les Corts (Barcelona). Las acciones ciudadanas que han hecho crecer el proceso han profundizado en la represión, en la cárcel desde un punto de vista territorial, en los modos de lucha y autoorganización de las presas y en la relación con sus hijos y familiares, en un ejercicio de práctica y reflexión crítica sobre los modos de transmisión de la memoria contemporáneos. A partir de 2011 se empezó a reivindicar la construcción de un monumento en homenaje a las mujeres encarceladas durante la dictadura en Les Corts, entendiendo el concepto ‘monumento’ desde la perspectiva del arte público y sus lenguajes contemporáneos. Haber logrado que se construya es un paso más en el camino de reivindicación de un lugar inacabado con vocación movilizadora, dentro de un proceso vivo y abierto de transmisión de su memoria.
Barcelona a ras de suelo
El diseño del suelo, que acostumbra a estudiarse desde una perspectiva meramente técnica y vinculada a los materiales y sus características, es un elemento clave en la construcción de la imagen de la ciudad, sea por repetición y extensión —caso del panot—, sea por individualización e intensidad —como acontece con los pavimentos especiales o los artísticos. Este libro aborda el impacto del pavimento en el paisaje urbano, reflexiona sobre su evolución en Barcelona y aporta novedades historiográficas relevantes, demostrando que esta fue la primera ciudad del mundo, fuera del ámbito portugués, que utilizó la calçada portuguesa en sus calles. Finalmente, trata la problemática de la sostenibilidad medioambiental y el papel que en ella pueden tener las innovaciones técnicas relacionadas con el diseño del pavimento. Una propuesta para descubrir Barcelona desde un punto de vista diferente: a ras de suelo.
