Antoni Muntadas (*Barcelona, 1942) is one of the most important contemporary Spanish artists. His work addresses social, political and communications issues, the relationship between public and private space within social framework, and investigates channels of information and the ways they are used to promulgate ideas and control and censor information. Working in different media, such as photography, video, publications, Internet and multi-media installations, Muntadas often speaks about the condition of being "in between" as a point of departure for his work.

Enfin ! Un bouquin palpitant, qui tient la route en accrochant les tripes. Le style surprenant s’impose : de la zone argotique, de l’anarchie prolétarienne, de la révolte destructurée, des histoires minables, des personnages colorés, du langage parlé marginalisé, de l’espoir en pots de chrysanthèmes. Désopilant ! Souvent carrément poilant. Certains passages sont même torrides. Ça, c’est du Jafeu ! Plus crado que Boudard, plus prolo que Céline, plus voyou que Genet. À côté de lui : Bukowski... c’est du pipi (dixit : Zola). Un pamphlet comportemental. Un happening constant révèle un univers méconnu... parfois, ça défonce le bidon. Bandant ! Irrésistible ! Le langage populaire poétique facilite la philosophie de comptoir. Le must des sociologues... il faut avoir lu « Le Bamby Bar » (histoires de comptoir).
Considère les nouvelles prérogatives de la construction urbaine, en placant la critique et l'intellectuel au sein de la production citadine.
Cet ouvrage collectif met l'accent sur la dimension spatiale de l'hospitalité en acte ainsi que sur certaines situations spatiales, liées au soin d’autrui, comme enjeux contemporains de société permettant de les traiter de manière transversale.
This book explores the various personal and social narratives within the songs of Brassens and Brel, the auteurs-compositeurs-interpretes who epitomised what is now widely regarded as the golden era of chanson francaise during the 1950s and 60s. Tinker's discussion reveals the tensions in thenarrators' relationship with themselves, other individuals, and society. The book builds upon, and moves beyond, the two dominant critical approaches used to write about French song: the exclusively biographical oriented approach and the purely linguistic analysis. Tinker focuses both on identity,viewed primarily as a relational process, and on representation: linguistic, musical, vocal, and gestural.
