Book Overview

by Catalina Iannone (Author)

This book is freely available in an open-access edition thanks to the generous support of The Ohio State University Libraries.

In Cities Beyond Crisis, Catalina Iannone studies the rapid evolution of Iberian urban centers in the years following the 2008 financial crisis, identifying how this event catalyzed a protracted period of unraveling and reorganization in the region. Arguing that the affects and effects of the crisis are best understood when embedded within local environments, Cities Beyond Crisis focuses on how textual, visual, and spatial interventions both drove and contested change in two racially diverse, historically marginalized neighborhoods in the capital cities of Spain and Portugal-Madrid's Lavapiés and Lisbon's Mouraria. Through a critical examination of the narratives shaping public perception of these spaces, whether promoting their development and consumption or challenging market-oriented trends, Iannone demonstrates how the stories that stakeholders across the ideological spectrum told about these districts illuminate enduring attachments and aspirations in each nation's relationship to race. By approaching the study of space as a contested and contingent social product, this book takes an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from both humanistic and social science theories and practices to show how cultural production shapes and is shaped by the built environment.
