Full textMy research topic is the social impact of urban transformation plans. In this doctoral dissertation I focused it on a neighborhood movement from a Quarter of Barcelona, which is considered paradigmatic in planned urban transformations, to the extent that it speaks of the "Barcelona Model". I wanted to study the subject of research in a neighborhood movement to focus it from the active and organized citizen response in resistance against the urban plans that are being implemented, and, above all, against this model of city driven by local government and capitalist powers, considered by the neighbors organized as more harmful than beneficial for the local population involved. The research was aimed to address anthropologically the construction of the resistance movement of Barceloneta's residents, created to cope with urban plans implemented in the neighborhood by the City Hall. This subject is part of the process of planned urban transformation that is taking place now in this neighborhood and in Barcelona City. As specific objectives, on one hand it was to inquire on the strategies that are taking place in the neighborhood against the urban plans designed by the City Council, especially those generated from the neighborhood movement constituted by the AssociaciO de Veins I Veines de l'Ostia (L'Ostia Neighbors Association) and the Plataforma de Afectados en Defensa de la Barceloneta (Platform of Affected in Defense of the Barceloneta). Different elements of the process of opposition or resistance have been investigated in this direction, such as problems-and possible solutions- identified by the organized neighbors, their actions and forms of organization. On the other hand, the research aims to have an analytical approach on social dynamics resulting from this process of transformation and resistance: the relationships that appear disappear or are transformed. Specific issues arise from the central question about the social impact of urban planning: - How a neighborhood movement against urban plans is organized? - Through which claims, discourses, strategies, types of internal organization and alliances? - Which are the movement concerns and its fronts of struggle? - In what way this style and format of neighborhood struggle can and should be compared with other phases of capitalist appropriation of the city?

Full textSeveral challenges was currently introduced in urban areas, particularly resulting from strong growth and transformation processes, characteristic of the last decades of the XX century. These transformations gave rise to the emergence of new urban contexts, often associated with lack of cohesion problems, not only related to morphological fragmentation of urban structures, but also with weaknesses in its social and economic dynamics. In order to better understanding these issues, we study the concept of cohesion. We start from the definition of cohesion introduced by the European Directives, aiming to systematize its application into the urban scale. We propose a systematization of urban cohesion concept supported in a dual dimension - one that involves the physical form of the city and other their socio-economic and socio-cultural dynamics. Therefore, with this investigation we intend to discuss the concept of urban cohesion linked to the role that public space plays in its promotion. We seek to clarify how it is possible to guide urban interventions promoting cohesion, particularly by exploring the potential of public space networks (its dimensions and characteristics). We start from the premise that public spaces are the structuring elements of urban fabric and urban life, organizing themselves in a systemic way; in a multi-scale integration perspective; forming a "network of networks". Intending to contribute to the enhancement of urban cohesion, we propose a methodology, able to analyze cohesion of a public space network. We developed this methodology focusing on the neighborhood scale, but also in its connections to the surrounding networks. We support the work process in the analysis of two territories; two neighborhoods in the city of Barcelona – Barceloneta and Baró de Viver – privileging direct contact with the territory. The analysis of these two territories integrates the concepts’ systematization and it is also used to test and validate the methodology and criteria proposed.
Varios retos se plantean actualmente a los territorios urbanos, sobre todo como resultado de los fuertes procesos de transformación y crecimiento, característicos de las últimas décadas del siglo. XX. Estos cambios dieron lugar a la aparición de nuevos contextos urbanos, a menudo asociados con problemas de falta de cohesión, no sólo relacionados con la fragmentación morfológica de las estructuras urbanas, pero también con debilidades al nivel de sus dinámicas sociales y económicas. Con el objetivo de mejor comprender estos temas, estudiamos el concepto de cohesión. Partimos de la configuración de cohesión hecha por las Directivas Europeas, buscando sistematizar su transposición a la escala urbana. Proponemos una sistematización del concepto de cohesión urbana, apoyado en una doble dimensión – una que implica la forma física de la ciudad y otra sus dinámicas socio-económicas y socio-culturales. Así, en el presente trabajo nos proponemos discutir el concepto de cohesión urbana vinculada a la función del espacio público en su promoción. Buscamos aclarar cómo se pueden guiar las intervenciones urbanas promoviendo la cohesión, en particular tirando partido del potencial de las redes de espacio público (sus dimensiones y características). Partimos de la premisa de que el espacio público es el elemento estructurador de la malla y la vida urbana; organizándose de manera sistémica; con la perspectiva de la integración multi-escala; formando una "red de redes". Buscando contribuir para la mejora de la cohesión urbana, proponemos una metodología de análisis de la cohesión de una red de espacios públicos. Hemos desarrollado esta metodología centrándonos en la escala del barrio, pero también en sus conexiones con las redes de los alrededores. Apoyamos el proceso de trabajo en el análisis de dos territorios; dos barrios de la ciudad de Barcelona – Barceloneta y Baró de Viver – favoreciendo el contacto directo con el territorio. El análisis de estos dos territorios acompaña la sistematización de conceptos y sirve también como prueba y validación de la metodología y criterios propuestos.

Full textEsta investigación es una aproximación a las relaciones dialécticas existentes entre el movimiento vecinal de los barrios de Poble-sec y Montjuïc (Barcelona) y las instituciones municipales durante los gobiernos de izquierdas de la ciudad (1979-2011). Durante el tardofranquismo y la Transición el movimiento vecinal apareció con fuerza en Barcelona así como en otras ciudades de Catalunya i España. Durante aquellos años este movimiento vecinal se convirtió, sobretodo en Barcelona, en un actor de primer orden que puso contra las cuerdas al poder local y contribuyó al cambio democrático en el ámbito municipal. Con la llegada de los ayuntamientos democráticos el paradigma dialéctico y relacional entre el movimiento vecinal y las instituciones municipales cambió. Las reformas que introdujo el consistorio democrático barcelonés establecieron unos canales de participación ciudadana que encauzarían y canalizarían este diálogo entre el vecindario organizado y el gobierno municipal. Esta investigación se centra en el análisis y estudio de estos órganos de participación –poniendo el foco en los barrios de Poble-sec y Montjuïc- y en los resultados que esta relación dialéctica tuvo para su evolución y transformación. Este análisis permite captar como las limitaciones y déficits de estas normativas de participación, así como las dinámicas que éstas generan en el movimiento vecinal y en las instituciones, influencian en el desarrollo y evolución del modelo de gestión de la ciudad y, por lo tanto, en las transformaciones que Barcelona y sus barrios experimentan. Un modelo de gestión implantado el año 1979 con la llegada al poder de las fuerzas de izquierdas y que evoluciona hasta implosionar en el año 2011 cuando éstas pierden la alcaldía.
This investigation is an approximation to the dialectical relations between the neighborhood movement of Poble-sec and Montjuïc neighborhoods (Barcelona) and the municipal institutions during the leftist governments of the city (1979-2011). During the late francoism and the transition to democracy period, the neighborhood movement appeared with force in Barcelona as well as in other cities of Catalonia and Spain. During those years, this neighborhood movement became, above all in Barcelona, a leading actor who put the local power against the ropes and contributed to democratic change at the local level. With the arrival of the democratic city councils, the dialectical and relational paradigm between the neighborhood movement and the municipal institutions changed. The reforms introduced by the Barcelona's democratic consistory established channels of citizen participation that would channel this dialogue between the organized neighborhood and the municipal government. This research focuses on the analysis and study of these participation channels - putting the focus on Poble-sec and Montjuïc neighborhoods - and on the results that this dialectical relationship had for its evolution and transformation. This analysis allows us to grasp how the limitations and deficits of these participation regulations, as well as the dynamics they generate in the neighborhood movement and in the institutions, influence the development and evolution of the city's management model and, therefore, in the transformations that Barcelona and its neighborhoods experience. A management model implemented in 1979 with the arrival to power of the forces of the left and that evolves until implosion in 2011 when they lose the mayor's office.

De l’església de Sant Sever i Sant Carles Borromeu dels paüls a la parròquia mercedària de Sant Pere Nolasc (1703-2017), is conceived as a historical study of the artistic and architectural features characterizing the house of the Congregation of the Mission in Barcelona, because of their singularity in the artistic context of the eighteenth century in Catalonia. Similarly, this work showcase the results of the investigation related to the structural evolution of the Vincentians' residence in order to explain the adaptation of the building to the successive changes in use and of the urban framework surrounding it. Therefore, we have analysed the circumstances of its establishment in 1703 in Catalonia, its evolution during the eighteenth and first third of the nineteenth century, the effects of the secularization of the sacred space and its transformation to a civil building between 1809 and 1942, to finally study the dismantling of the convent and the rehabilitation of one of its elements, the church of the House of the Mission of Tallers street, in order to develop the project of adaptation to the new urban premises and the Mercedarian Order's cult.

Full textThis Ph.D. Dissertation examines how the transformation of the economic base of the city of Barcelona had a transformative impact on its physical configuration, and therefore on its public space. This phenomenon is linked to urban regeneration processes, common to the dynamics that occur in other cities. We believe it is important to analyse such processes, as they allow us to relate the economic and political assumptions with the results in the territory. Beyond this general interest, the specific characteristics of Barcelona make it stand out in relation to the operations in other cities, therefore ensuring the commitment of this research. By characterizing Barcelona as a creative city, we then analyse the deindustrialization and subsequent re-industrialization of the Poblenou derived of the 22@ plnn, which transforms the old manufacturing industries in knowledgerelated industries, where culture is predominant. We use an innovative methodology, consisting of implementing a multi-scale analysis in space, and time, focusing on both economic and territorial policies in Poblenou. To contextualize this analysis, we first examine the general evolution of cities' cultural policies, in order to articulate the concept of “creative cities” with the process ot urban regeneration. Then, we look at the linkage between the uses evolution of the physical territory of Poblenou, and the progress of cultu.ral policies in Barcelona. Finally, we deepen the study of the 22@Barcelona project in its general context and, in particular, we evaluate the public space adjacent to buildings used for creating new productive activities. We analyse the intervention in Palo Alto by considering it esp«ially characteristic of this physical, productive and cultural transformation processes. This appreciation of Poblenou includes elements of continuity and rupture. On the first onc, wc observe the integration of its physical territory, in relation to the whole city; the continuity of its conceptualization as an industrial district, including the :ldaptation of the first industrialization buildings to new uses and valued an heritage; the attempt to keep the resident population; and finally, by the introduction of new physical and social infrastructures, providing an equivalence within the city. We consider the overall configuration of the public space designed for 22@ as qualitatively positive, by encouraging its integration in the city and its urban cohesion. But we also identify a break in the built environment: especially in the vertical plane, the intent of introducing new differentiators in the urban landscape results in a mundane image and on a cultural resources trivialization. On the ambiguity of these results, we highlight the value and integration and of these Poblenou's newly designed public spaces in the historical and territorial continuity of the whole city, emphasizing this aspect of excellence and as a representative of the contemporary Barcelona.
La tesi doctoral presentada a les pàgines següents examina rom la transformació de la base econòmica de la ciutat de Barcelona va tenir un impacte transformador en la seva configuració física i per tant el seu espai públic. Aquest fenomen està lligat a processos de regeneració urbana. comuns a les dinàmiques que ocorren en altres ciutats. Considerem que és important analitzar aquests processos doncs permeten que ens relacionar els supòsits econòmics i polítics amb els resultats sobre el territori. Més enllà d'aquest interès general. el cas de Barcelona té característiques especifiques que fan que es destaqui en relació amb les operacions desenvolupades en altres ciutats, que garanteix el compromís d'aquesta investigació. Caracteritzant Barcelona com a ciutat creativa, ens permet concentrar-nos en la desindustrialització i la posterior re-industrialització del barri del Poblenou gràcies al projecte 22@, trobant-hi el pas de les velles indústries a les indústries relacionades amb el coneixement,. on la cultura és predominant. Utilitzem una metodologia innovadora que consisteix en l'aplicació d'una anàlisi multi-escala, en l'espai i en el temps, i incideix en l'àmbit de les polítiques econòmiques i territorials al Poblenou. Per tal de contextualitzar l'anàlisi, examinem primer l'evolució general de les polítiques culturals a les ciutats, per tal d'articular el concepte de "ciutats creatives" amb els processos de regeneració urbana. Després observem el vincle entre l'evolució dels usos del territori físic del Poblenou, així com l'avanç de les polítiques culturals a Barcelona. Finalment, aprofundim l'estudi del projecte 22 @ Barcelona en el seu context general i, en particular, avaluem l'espai públic adjacent als edificis destinats a les noves activitats productives creadores. Això es mostra a tall d'exemple per la intervenció a Palo Alto, donada el seu procés de transformació física, productiva i cultural. D'aquesta apreciació del Poblenou, en destaquem els elements de continuïtat i ruptura. Els primers, la integració del territori físic, en relació a tota la ciutat; la continuïtat de la seva conceptualització com un districte industrial, incloent-hi l'adaptació dels edificis de la primera industrialització als nous usos i valorats com a patrimoni; tractant de mantenir a la població resident, i la introducció de nova infraestructura física i social, que proporcionen una equivalència amb tota la ciutat. Considerem que la configuració global de l'espai públic dissenyat per al 22@ és qualitativament positiva, fomentant la seva integració a les ciutat i la seva cohesió urbana. D'altra banda, comprovem una ruptura en l'entorn construït: sobretot en el pla vertical, l'intent d'introduir nous elements diferenciadors en els resultats paisatge urbà en una imatge trivial i, també, una trivialització dels recursos culturals. Sobre l'ambigüitat d'aquests resultats, valorem la integració del disseny d'aquests nous espais públics del Poblenou en una continuïtat històrica i territorial de tota la ciutat, destacant aquest aspecte d'excel.lència i representatiu de l'actual Barcelona.

Después, observamos el vínculo entre la evolución de los usos del territorio físico del Poblenou, así como el avance de las políticas culturales en Barcelona. Finalmente, profundizamos el estudio del proyecto 22@ Barcelona en su contexto general y, en particular, evaluamos el espacio público adyacente a los edificios destinados a las nuevas actividades productivas creadoras. Esto se muestra, a modo de ejemplo, en la intervención en Palo Alto, dado su proceso de transformación física, productiva y cultural.

Full textThis thesis explores changes of urban life on d'en Robador street on the Raval district of Barcelona as a result of urban interventions that have occurred there in the past twenty years. The urbanistic incisions in the Raval had destroyed urban heritage, architectural, residential and cultural valuable assets. Furthermore, they resulted in population expulsions, and -to some extent, and in certain areas- its replacement by people of greater income. Historical tracking on Raval neighbourhood has been made, emphasizing the observation on successive control cultures applied there over an impoverished population with a marked working class profile. This is complemented by a critical ethnography performed between 2010 and 2012 in the above-named street that brings that perspective up to date to establish the persistence and recurrence in the successive governments action on what has been up to today the "underworld" of the city, the mythical "Chinatown".

Full textThis PhD dissertation proposes to account for a phenomenon that started in the early eighties in Barcelona involving the spreading of public poetry events that deviate from poetry readings and conventional recitals, and conform as a practice in which the performative aspect takes much relevance. We coined this type of practice «Public Poetry», meaning it needs the stage and the audience to make its full sense. The research study described in this dissertation aims to contextualize, document and interpret the expansive process of Public Poetry in Barcelona from 1984 to 2004, dates that mark, respectively, what we consider as birth and end of this process. The start of the expansive process took place in June 1984 with the organization of the first public event of poetry in a bar by the poets’ group known as «O així» headed by Enric Casasses and Jordi Pope. Moreover, what we consider that closes the expansive process is the latest edition of «PROPOSTA, festival internacional de poesies+polipoesies» that took place in November 2004 at the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB). In a first phase, the study has led us to coin the term and define the concept of Public Poetry as well as the different practices identified (oral poetry, sound poetry, polypoetry, etc.) and put them in relation to both national and European sociocultural context. Then, the research has focused on describing and documenting the multiple events of Public Poetry that took place in Barcelona during the abovementioned period, homing in on the main organizers and the poets who participated, and reflecting on what were the reasons why the phenomenon started and how it has lasted until today.

Full textThe following research “The artistic marquetry: J. Sagarra workshop. Barcelona (1940-1965)”, has two defined goals. One is a monographic study of artistic marquetry and to value it as a decorative element. The other objective is to seek the collaborative relationships of this artisan craft with art and industry. J. Sagarra Barcelona workshop’s documentation has enabled this research’s purposes because it has permitted rebuilding its history, part of which has been selected to do this research. The fact that this workshop was still operational when this study started has facilitated a better knowledge of the craft because it allowed to count on Fernando Sagarra’s advice, as the last master of this workshop, and it also allowed seeing one of the last workshops of this specialty craft in operating conditions (1870-2003). This study is structured in six parts. In the first part we expose the research’s objectives, the methodology and the sources of the research. The second part contains a review of J. Sagarra’s workshop history which suites as an introduction to the study (1833-2003). In part three we analyze the role that F.A.D. Foment de les Arts Decoratives (Promotion of Decorative Arts) had as interior decoration and art promotion center as well as the exhibitions it organized and promoted. The renovation process of sacred art is reviewed in part four. This process started in the first Montserrat Liturgical Congress in 1915 and was consolidated with the rebuilding of churches that followed the Civil War due to the prevailing climate of religious devotion. In part five we study the origins and evolution of marquetry, production processes and the work of different project designers that, at the same time, practiced other artistic disciplines. Part six contains the main conclusions in which we can acknowledge that J. Sagarra’s marquetry workshop experienced a period of intensive activity between 1940 and 1965 in which several artists and industries collaborated. We also evaluate the loss of interest causes for this sort of crafts and it’s evolution possibilities, considering this workshop as a paradigm of what other crafts experienced.

Full textThis thesis has arisen from fieldwork intended to track all landmarks in the old village of les Corts, district of present-day Barcelona. Its aim to state what was, has been and is today’s neighbourhood. City planning, art and testimonies throughout the town’s history are studied. From 10th century Torre Rodona to present day. The aim of this research is to state the conditions of the birth of les Corts. It begins with the study of the spread-out masies, mainly located between Riera de Magòria and Riera Blanca and the Torrent dels Morts. This makes for an in-depth analysis of the town’s origins and the idiosyncrasies of its peoples and families. This investigation also analyses other significant locations and landmarks such as cultural centres and small palaces located in streets now sadly gone, as well as hospices and religious, educational and leisure institutions. Special attention is put on industries and workshops that set up in town. In addition to the aforementioned, this investigation features analyses of furniture and tools used between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, such as the ones stored in the Monestir de Pedralbes museum, as well as studies of other significant institutions of that time such as the Dolsa asylum, the women’s prison, the Maternitat hospital, the Sant Rafael and Sant Joan de Déu shelters, as well as the Remei parish and other important leisure and cultural centres. This research has been made possible through access to old archive photographs as well as to living testimonials of people still living in the neighbourhood who were born before 1936. To all of them we sincerely thank for opening the doors to their homes and letting us access their archives and files, which credit all the research. All in all, this thesis aims to start an in-depth study of the evolution of the land in les Corts through oral testimonies, as well as archive research that will help broaden knowledge on city planning, architecture, leisure, culture, craftsmanship and industry that have existed in les Corts from medieval times until present day.

The bulk of our research and work has focused on the first democratic government (1979-1983), headed in the first place by Narcís Serra and as of December 1982 by Maragall. This first democratic government formed a broad government involving socialists, communists, convergents and republicans based on the coordinates of the Pact of progress and developed an enormous political activity to transform the reality of the City Council towards a new democratic model. Through our analysis, we have identified the main axes of democratic government policies, changes and continuities with respect to the previous stage and the political actors that took part in these years in a more prominent way.

Full textLa tesis Memòria Pública i debat polític a Barcelona (1931-1936) se ha escrito con dos objetivos básicos. En primer lugar, el trabajo presenta una propuesta teórica y metodológica global para estudiar –desde un punto de vista sociopolítico y en múltiples contextos temporales y geográficos- el fenómeno de la memoria pública. Por eso, el autor elabora una “antropología de la memoria” y desarrolla una reflexión sistemática sobre “las culturas de la memoria” y “las políticas de la memoria”. La tesis define la memoria pública como el conjunto de prácticas y discursos conmemorativos que tienen lugar en la esfera pública. La memoria pública, por tanto, no es un simple dictado monolítico desde las instituciones políticas, sino más bien un diálogo o una dialéctica entre las diversas narrativas históricas que vertebran los imaginarios de los distintos grupos sociales. El autor asume que a través del debate sobre el pasado y sobre su representación canónica, la sociedad discute indirectamente su contextura identitaria, sus marcos normativos en el presente y sus orientaciones para el futuro. En realidad, las distintas interpretaciones del pasado que se dan en la esfera pública reflejan las distintas versiones del futuro nacional. El trabajo constata como la pugna discursiva por la hegemonía en la consciencia histórica de la ciudadanía va muy ligada al pulso social por el poder político. Para fundamentar su propuesta teórica y metodológica, el autor recurre a autores catalanes y del conjunto de España, pero también presenta los principales postulados de la historiografía francesa, germánica y anglosajona. En segundo lugar, la tesis aborda una investigación histórica concreta. Se estudia la memoria pública de Barcelona en los primeros años treinta. El autor indaga los discursos históricos y las prácticas conmemorativas imperantes en el espacio cívico, en la opinión pública y en el ámbito político de la Ciudad Condal desde la proclamación de la República en 1931 hasta el estallido de la Guerra Civil en 1936. La tesis repasa la catarsis simbólica que vivió la ciudad con el nuevo régimen. Analiza los cambios de nombres de las calles y da a conocer la intrahistoria de los monumentos erigidos. El trabajo plasma la cultura conmemorativa de diversos sectores sociales barceloneses, desgrana la narrativa histórica que subyace en los libros de texto para niños y, sobre todo, refleja la utilización política del pasado. En el fondo, el estudio de los diversos paradigmas conmemorativos interesa al autor como una ventana privilegiada para ojear los universos mentales e ideológicos de cuatro grupos centrales: el nacionalismo liberal-obrerista (ERC), el nacionalismo liberal-conservador (La Lliga), el anarquismo faista y el españolismo conservador. La radiografía de las narrativas históricas y las prácticas conmemorativas de la Barcelona republicana que se lleva a cabo en este trabajo permite redescubrir los vínculos entre el nacionalismo catalán y el discurso histórico, establecer las similitudes y las diferencias doctrinales entre las principales fuerzas políticas del periodo y, finalmente, revisitar desde una nueva perspectiva la evolución de un tiempo político apasionado y apasionante.

Full textIt is acknowledged that one of the defining traits of the final period of the XIV century is that written works, both Latin and Italian, spread beyond courtly circles of readers. The aim of the present PhD dissertation is to answer who these readers were, which social stratum did they belong to, which were the links that can be traced, which were their interests, which books did they have and for what purpose did they use them, where did these works come from, in which milieus did the readers meet to talk about literature, etc. The ultimate reason to answer these questions is the firm conviction that a romance like the anonymous Curial e Güelfa, which indulges in signaling out the readings on which the fictional narrative is based, can be addressed to potential readers beyond courtly circles who might become such readers because of the affinity of their readings.

Full textWhen the economic recession began in 2008, there was expectation among public authorities and scholars that crime would increase. Up-‐to-‐date criminological sources show that this has clearly not happened. Concerning Barcelona, when comparing police recorded crime statistics and victimization data, a paradox arises since available data outline a scenario where, despite a decreasing trend in crime, people feel more insecure. The correspondence between perceptions and reality is frequently imperfect given that insecurity may be affected by several factors (i.e. individual factors, mass media, personal experiences with crime and other individual and/or contextual factors). This heterogeneity may explain why, despite victimization being a relatively infrequent event in Barcelona, so many people are concerned about crime-‐related issues. Assuming that fear of crime and perceived insecurity are clearly different topics, the research offers a quantitative analysis enabling a comprehensive understanding of crime-‐related issues while considering contextual factors. With this in mind, the research addresses four key dimensions of insecurity: * The objective dimension focused on actual crime spread; * The subjective dimension related to cognitive aspects such as fear of crime or perceived risks; * The socio-‐geographic dimension referring to neighbourhood characteristics that have effects on the perception of insecurity; * The socio-‐economic dimension referring to the social consequences of poverty and deprived living conditions on ontological security. In order to explore the significance of the mismatch between crime and perceived insecurity, a survey (n=185) was designed to enable a more comprehensive assessment of insecurity in the context of Barcelona. The specific objective was to test the hypothesis of radical theories on fear of crime, that is to say that insecurity is mainly social and economic insecurity in disguise. Consistent with previous research, the statistical analysis showed that insecurity perception has an unequal impact on social groups. Being a woman, an older person, unemployed, or having a low level of education is associated with highest levels of insecurity. Furthermore, results show that the highest levels of fear emerge in neighbourhoods with a huge presence of residents at risk of poverty and social exclusion. Therefore, social insecurity seems to be a clear multiplier of perceived insecurity in Barcelona.

Full textDespite the historical absence of women in "Entre que caben cien" and of their directing roles in the scene, an interesting aspect of the ethnography is that when they assume a certain visibility within the scene they appear to be more permissible than men regarding the selection of other salsa songs and of other music styles that distance themselves from the so-called "salsa brava", questioning at this point whether the latter really exists, or does it perhaps ceases to be such when it begins to be called like this? This lends us to other significant questions such as to what extent the more one insists on otherness the more one tries to legitimate what he doesn't want to be? While bigger gets the desire for authenticity and alternative, more massive and hegemonic it becomes? While the bigger the quest for own manifestations derived from subaltern and marginalized culture gets, more extended get the petit bourgeois practices that end up disguising or adapting the first to the taste of the second?

Full textThe goal of this thesis is to highlight Alfredo Papo and his activity in the promotion and dissemination of jazz in our country, the evolution of his thinking through documents recently found at his residence and the compilation of his writings and conferences disseminated in different magazines, catalogs, book prologues and disc back covers. This thesis provides a new interpretation of the history of jazz, which explain how was possible for Barcelona to be a pioneer in jazz music, positioning itself internationally. All this would not have been possible without the figure of Alfredo Papo, his ability and duality as promoter of concerts and disseminator of concepts were essential to achieve it. He was aware of the need of an informative strategy to promote jazz in Barcelona. The organization of a concert had to be linked to different activities, some prior to the concert and others later, such as conferences with auditions, and explanatory articles, interpretation and an analysis of concerts, musicians and different types of jazz. All the documentation provided in this thesis and its global analysis, will help to have a solid base for the realization of future research, this with the donation of the private documentary collection to the CRAI Library, which is linked to this doctoral thesis. Alfredo Papo as a humanist was interested in anthropology, culture, literature, art, cinema, poetry and theater. His greatest passion was jazz music to which he dedicated all his life. He used jazz as a tool to pass on knowledge and cultural and social transformation.

Full textIn the manner of Adam A. Scaife (2016), this thesis considers that “the colour of the sky has, all throughout history, served as inspiration for and been a concern of painters, poets and prophets, as well as physicians” (p. 74), since the only source of inspiration for this study comes from the observation of the sky and its colours. This research project is entitled Barcelona 3.0 Digital Canvas in reference to the colours of the city of Barcelona, specifically to the colour of the Barcelona sky. This thesis has been carried out with the collaboration of the Fabra Observatory – the place in which I installed the camera with which to obtain the photographic records – and of METEOCAT (Catalonia's Meteorological Agency), which has contributed to it with the meteorological summary of the data obtained. I have designed a creative process in order to obtain the predominant colours of the Barcelona sky. I hereby present chromatic data recorded during the summer months of 2016, since summer is the time of the year with a larger solar spectrum. During the development of the creation process, I set up a code and a system of communication of colour, in the search of digital palettes. The colours obtained are shown as a colour register classified by month, time and meteorological variables. These chromatic data are used to create a digital canvas in the format of a multimedia interface, and this technology works as an instrument for creation. It is a digital experience inspired by nature that exposes the colours of the sky in real time through unpredictability. The graphic elements of the interface are represented through abstraction and geometry. The work is composed by a succession of causal vertical lines created by the system itself, which try to follow a golden ratio. This interactive app could be classified as generative art, a movement within contemporary art that uses technology as a tool for creation, and which generates works of art through computational algorithms. I have developed a creation process in which the system itself generates many variations that are unique and unrepeatable. It is an interactive piece that establishes an open dialogue between audience and work, and which uses the Internet both as exhibition space and a medium for creation. http://www.coloresdelaire.com/doctorado/doctorado/lienzodigitalbarcelona.html This thesis tries to create a “sensitive” range fed by external data originated in nature, such as the colour palette of the sky and daily meteorological information. The system behaves as a time and meteorological temporary digital chromatic indicator. The colours keep on changing throughout the day, exposing the dominant tones of the different light phases of the day from dawn until dusk. I have tried to create an analogy with the external world and with nature, adding the natural component of colour to a digital environment. The system includes affective user involvement behaviour through the use of empathy, playing with colours as interactive response. Through user interaction, the graphic interface is transformed, creating new variations and chromatic compositions. The lines of the interface react by imitating the colours of contiguous lines until the work is transformed into a monochrome space based on the concept of collective unity and empathy around the conceptual work of art. This emotional component tries to imitate people's “sensitive” behaviour and include it in a digital environment.

We sought to understand how various social movements made use of the art of political action, and how they related art and activism. A small part of the study has been dedicated to a review of the theoretical basis of activist art. For the most part, to write the history of activist art in Barcelona in the time frame that is located between 1992 and 2015, with a focus on the relationship between these practices and public spaces as their natural settings, an emphasis that warns of the importance of community participation as a counterpoint to the opaque dimension of society: fear of the rest or parts of the community, the dynamics of exclusion, passivity, denial of social conflict, among other aspects. In addition, an ethnography was made of two groups that have been chosen in the course of the investigation, in relation to their relevance in the context of activist art in Barcelona. All this in order to establish a reflection on the art of political action in Barcelona, its rise and decline, based on an analysis of the relationship between artistic practices, activism and art institutions. Likewise, we have analyzed the new ways of acting from these practices, the new political grammars derived from them, as well as possible new social actors. It is about objectifying how these practices unfold between politics and art, the potential of creative processes as a peaceful political tool, establishing the extent to which the limits, insufficiencies and failures that have been experienced by this type of artistic action -social, they could be giving rise to their own decline by converting what was initially projected as a tool for political dissemination, in pure spectacularization. On the other hand, the limits of these actions against institutionalization have also been addressed.

Full textThe llotges are architectural structures of a Mediterranean origin, and they first appeared under this name in Catalonia at the end of the 13th century. As their Mediterranean counterparts, the llotges were porticoed structures, they usually had a public character, and the attention that was often paid to their construction and ornamentation bears witness to their official status. From a structural point of view, the term’s meaning was quite close to that of the traditional Catalan word porxo. As a consequence, the term llotja soon started to be used as a synonym for porxo, regardless of the structure’s specific function and decorative characteristics. At the end of the 14th century, a very significant evolution in the architectural and functional meanings of the word llotja took place in Barcelona: the city rulers promoted a llotja specifically conceived as a meeting place for merchants and as the seat of the city’s commercial institutions. It was not simply a porticoed structure, but a monumental public building. The architect Pere Arús (formerly known as Pere Arvei) was involved in the first constructive stages of this new Barcelona llotja, and he found inspiration and points of reference in the local architecture of power. In the fifteenth century, Marc Safont was responsible for some significant additions to the building, addressed to making visible the role played by trade in the city’s economy at a time of political conflict and economic struggle. The Barcelona llotja was the origin of a new type of monumental buildings, the llotges de mercaders. A few years after the Barcelona llotja had been started, one was built in Perpignan too. While it did not follow the Barcelona model exactly, it still was a monumental public Building, based on the architecture of existing official buildings. In the 15th century, architects Guillem Sagrera and Pere Compte took the basic features of the Barcelona llotja and lead them to a new architectural level.

Full textThe aims of this thesis are to find the siting of the ceramic production workshops in the urban area of Barcelona, to explain the interpersonal relationships of the potters and to show the religiosity experience of the brotherhood of Saint Hippolytus as cornerstone of the group. Through the fiscal sources and with some military censuses from the 14th to 18th centuries, the articulation of the corporation in the city is interpreted. Regarding the exploitation of clays from different areas near Barcelona, the existence of up to three extraction points is demonstrated. Interpersonal relationships are explicit in the figure of the apprentice and in the learning process, providing nuances that have only been studied systematically for some productive sectors of the 18th century. Rescinding the ritual to achieve the degree of master within the different ceramic offices confirms the hypothesis that Barcelona acted as a center for population attraction. During the second third of the 17th century, the ritual shows a certain tendency to boarding up the elites of the potters corporations through the disproportionate increase in rates. The dowries are used to make a social categorization proposal of the craftsmanship of Barcelona. Finally, the changes in the spaces of sociability between the potteries allow to confirm that the religious element was agglutinating. In brief, this research allows to know more precisely questions such as the organization of the ceramists corporation and its institutional policy. The urban distribution of craftsmen and family strategies through marriage unions allowing social cohesion in the neighborhood or beyond the walls of the city, in the territory.

Full textThis research pretends to reconstruct art market conditions in Barcelona between 1770 and 1808, coinciding with a prosperous and wealthy historical period at the peak of the city’s urban reform and development, and the increasing quantity of assignments and artistic activities. This wealth slowed down between 1796 and 1802, coming to a stop at the beginning of the Spanish War of Independence in 1808. The research is structured in three main blocks referring to the most decisive art market aspects: production, consumption and art trade. Firsty, understanding the production conditions is necessary to recognise authors and makers, artisans and artists, their training and what kind of skills and knowledge they had. This period was a changeover from a Guilds system to an Academic system since the arrival of Enlightened ideas applied in different art disciplines. For example, so it was thanks architecture by military engineers and then followed by other artists in disciplines like drawing, painting and engraving, mainly since the foundation of the Barcelona’s Escola Gratuïta de Dibuix, led under the Real Academia de San Fernando de Madrid’s guideline. Secondly, consumption became another main subject, understanding who the patrons were and also their tastes, their social status and their actions in both private and public patronage, showing power disputes through ostentation and luxurious art assignments, on the primary market. Futhermore trade, which was also important, and showing sale systems and art goods re-sales, as good as new trade media in art beyond the primary market,which are secondary market, and its conditions in several social and economic levels. Several sale systems like almonedas or auctions were usual and thanks to this data it is possible to analyze some international market aspects or to understand some interesting concepts like collecting in 18th Century Barcelona. Finaly, three appendixes are included in the research with files considered fundamental in its development and understanding: a historical, economic and social appendix; a biographical appendix with the most important artist profiles; and a brief catalogue with the highlighted assignments and works of the period mentioned throughout the research.

Full textThe following begins with the traditional cartographic norms, based on classical and geographic interpretations of maps and extends into modern times, in which the figure of the map is reclaimed as a tool to be interpreted as a means of contemporary art. Artistic cartography challenges the common representation of the world in a single way by erasing the limits and boundaries of territories, thus becoming a tool strongly linked to the subjectivity of its executor, whom can transform reality at his or her discretion. The general context leading up this emancipatory shift in cartographic history is explored in the following research. The city is evaluated as the ideal setting in which artists abandon the idea of the map as a universal and largely static element. In turn, cartography becomes quickly characterized as being versatile and dynamic, where social and political biases are less discernable. Additionally, the different ways in which the artist and non-artist utilize cartography are also addressed herein. Cartography is treated as a platform from which the traditional interpretation of systems of symbols are debated and discussed, resulting in a plural discourse about how visual expressions of territory respond in relation to new social norms and cultural influences. The artist, who uses cartography much akin to the role of the ethnographer, in overcoming the imposed limits of traditional cartography, can visualize a reality that was hidden or deleted up until very recently. Finally, an analysis of how cartography has diversified in different typologies by cataloguing them by object of study and its different formalizations is also explored herein. The research focuses on the cartography of trajectories and paths, whose origins come from the "Situacionists" movement. Via this methodology, an analysis of "El Raval", a neighborhood in Barcelona characterized by conflict and the process of "sanitation" is also explored. Specifically, the new political agency of territory, which involves, among other implications, the loss of memory and history of the neighborhood and of those in habiting it, is also reviewed. Concluding this research, a series of spatial and poetic practices arise, from which a prefigure of collective action conditions arise through cartography, ultimately building new signs of identity in the common discourse of contemporary art. From this research, a series of spatial and poetic practices arise which, through cartography, prefigure the conditions of collective action and build a sign of identity in the contemporary artistic discourse.

The main aim of this piece of work is to analyze the strategies of the reconstruction and the intervention that were carried out by the City Council of Barcelona which took the advantage of the situation of the Spanish Civil War destruction, in order to implement urban reform projects. For a better understanding of the practice of these actions, the project of opening and of the urbanization of Avenida de La Catedral between 1939 and 1958 has been taken as a study model. This project was considered by the City Council as one of the main urgent reconstruction works which were included in the extraordinary budget for the reconstruction, urbanization and improvement of the areas devastated by the war. At the same time the project was considered as a part of the old town reform plan. In this respect, the work of the municipal architects was fundamental, especially Adolf Florensa, who was considered as ‘’The Old Town Conservator’’.

Full textThis research focuses on the urban landscape configuration of the "New Architecture" of the city of Barcelona based on the analysis of the vertical plane of public space during the period between 1929 and 1973. Since the late nineteenth century, Barcelona has witnessed a rapid increase in population growth that was mainly generated by its industrial development which caused a recurring housing problem. In this sense, we analyzed the different solutions that led to a transformation in the form of urban growth. At the same time, we studied the change in the facade formal plane language coincidentally associated with this transformation. The starting point is 1929, the year that brought a change through a series of political, social, economic and urban events which led to the transformation of the city’s urban landscape, till the date when the last housing polygon was built in Barcelona. In the thesis, a theoretical analysis is developed on the different concepts such as: making city, the configuration and transformation of Barcelona’s urban landscape with the introduction of new formal languages. The concept of the vertical plane of public space is developed as one of its configuration elements is the facade plane. Moreover, during the period of study, we analyzed the legislations enacted for the development of different housing operations, as well as municipal ordinances that shaped the building issue and helped in transforming the urban landscape. This research concludes with the analysis of work cases, to present a sample of the "New Architecture" in the configuration of the urban landscape of the city of Barcelona.

Full textThis doctoral thesis deals specifically with the decorative programs containing vegetal motifs used in architectural typologies of public nature destined to leisure time in the city of Barcelona. The research is set chronologically in the period of Catalan modernism, which spans from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th. It lays down a comparative framework with Paris, the European cultural and artistic capital par excellence, in which Barcelona intended to be reflected. It is a research with an interdisciplinary character that interrelates ornamental art with botany. Within the context of Barcelona in the second half of the 19th century, activities related to plants were developed: the Tree Festival, flower battles and other ephemeral festivities. Looking at the French precedent of la Société Nationale d’Horticulture de France in Paris, a group of specialists founded la Societat Catalana d’Horticultura. On the other hand, from the mid-nineteenth century on, natural flowers were used in l’Escola de Llotja (Llotja School) as teaching material. The methods of ornamental application were another resource that the modernism architects had in order to configure the decorative programs. Leisure time architectures in the modernism time respond to six architectural typologies: establishments to eat and drink, boarding houses and hotels, theatres, entertainment spaces, cinemas and sport spaces. Taking these spaces as a starting point, a map from the leisure time of Barcelona in 1900 has been configured. It establishes three centres: Ciutat Vella, Eixample and Paral•lel. The decorative programs containing vegetal ornamentation used in the leisure time architectures reflect two tendencies: historicism-eclecticism and naturalism- symbolism versus Art Nouveau. When flora becomes the central ornament it can reach its conception of maximum magnificence taking the structural form by means of tree simulations or by the metamorphosis of peacock’s feathers into leaves and flowers’ stems. It is at this point when the ornamentation wants to become nature in an organic, architectural and sculptural sense, causing an ensemble as a result of the synthesis provided by the symbolic meaning. We have also identified a collection of plants from the ornamental programs.

Full textNegli ultimi anni si è assistito ad una crescente politicizzazione del turismo urbano. La critica all’industria turistica, entrata ormai nell’agenda delle azioni di diversi gruppi cittadini, si è dimostrata tanto articolata quanto diversificata. Spesso, molte di queste proteste condividono la proliferazione di tattiche creative che rendono evidente il rapporto tra mediazione simbolica e risignificazione dello spazio pubblico. Attraverso un lavoro etnografico che si snoda tra i centri urbani di Barcellona e Venezia, la ricerca si inserisce all’interno di questa crescente dinamicità dell’attuale critica alla turistificazione della città ed analizza diverse forme di protesta che emergono direttamente da progetti dal basso ed aspirano ad un cambiamento socio- politico. L’obiettivo è quello di contribuire e problematizzare in maniera complessa il dibattito sulle forme contemporanee di rivendicazione all’interno della città turistica. Nel complesso, la tesi si presenta come un’incursione delle scienze sociali nel dibattito sull’overtourism con il proposito di integrare focus spaziali, culturali e riflessivi sia dei collettivi urbani, sia dello stesso ricercatore che si avvicina a queste pratiche.

Full textThe main objective of this thesis, La societat jueva conversa en la Barcelona Baixmedieval, 1391-1440, is to study in depth the social group of the converts of Barcelona from all aspects: social, economic, professional, family, religious, as well as their relationship between them and the rest of society. The 1391 revolts, produced by the profound social and economic malaise of the lower estates of society, meant the rupture of the coexistence between Jews and Christians of Barcelona. As a result, on September 10, 1392, the Jewish Aljama of Barcelona was abolished forever and most Jews were converted to Christianity. A new social group breaks into Christian society, since converters, like Christians, form part of it in all their fields (legal, religious, economic ...). The converts were immersed in a society that formerly excluded them. Likewise, this society is forced to absorb a new social group, with its own characteristics and customs. The first measures taken by the authorities were aimed at preventing the new enthusiasts of Christianity from returning to their old faith. These measures caused the separation between members of the nuclear family and friends. The Christian society, completely ignorant of its indoctrination. Therefore, they had to know the new faith by their own means. Even some converts came to be part of the clerical estate. They also had to rely economically and adapt to the new situation they were in, since, as Christians, their economic and commercial framework was different. In spite of the difficulties that were presented to them, the conversos were integrated in the Christian society, living with her without serious conflicts until the arrival of the Castilian Inquisition. They formed, therefore, part of our society and our history. How did this group work? How and to what degree was it related to the Christians of nature? How many of them were truly Christians? How did they work financially and what were the trades they dominated? How and where did they live in the city? How did they relate to their family? And with its Jewish members?

The study focuses on the preserved works and, through a process of cataloguing, we analyse the Sgraffito from a technical viewpoint, consider what its previous manifestations are—mainly those of the 18th century— and the differences presented between them, and trace the evolution of the different wall covering solutions leading up to the arrival of the modernista period. From this point, we consider the factors that allow the reintroduction of Sgrafitto as a coating, and analyse their characteristic parameters: the technical process and colour treatment, the architectural typologies where it is used, the location on the wall, the provisions of shapes, and the ornamental repertoires. We also consider the different craftsmen who participate in the development of the design and the application of the Sgraffito, then focussing on the architects who use the Sgraffito technique most abundantly, and in the different stylistic tendencies shown by all of them. At the same time, we also consider the connections of the Barcelonian modernista Sgraffito with other versions in other European Art nouveau cities. Lastly, we make reference to the destruction of the modernist Sgraffito heritage in Barcelona.

Full textThis thesis aims to contribute to a better knowledge of the domestic sector in the city of Barcelona between 1900 and 1950. It analyses the changes in the structure and composition of the workforce employed in this sector; the role of the state and trade unions in changes in the occupational structure of the sector, working conditions and labour protection. We see how the variety of professions that the domestic service had featured during preindustrial period gradually faded over the 19th and 20th centuries. Therefore, in the 20th century there was no occupational diversity and the figure of "all girl being" [noia a tot estar; chica para todo] was widespread. These domestic servants were able to perform all sorts of chores, but the de-specialisation process involved the decrease in their labour and social status. Thus, the feminization process was completed, which contributed to make the domestic sector more precarious and worsened its social position in the labour market of Barcelona. Likewise, we analyse the socio-demographic origin of domestic workers, the formation of the domestic labour market and how this market worked through institutions and intermediary mechanisms between supply and demand. Similarly labour conditions, wages and the role of associations, trade unions and employers in the domestic service are also studied. Heterogeneous sources have been used. Firstly, the thesis studies the laws and regulations that affected the domestic service. Secondly, it analyses documents from several public and private institutions (Barcelona City Council, Barcelona Provincial Council, Diocese of Barcelona, etc.) as well as statistical information issued by some of these organisations. Besides, the National Census of Population, combined with other statistical sources (registers, statistics issued by local organisations, etc.), has allowed to examine the structure of the domestic sector. Thirdly, the press issued by bourgeois and working-class organisations has been crucial in this thesis. Finally, the requests brought before the labour tribunals (industrial tribunals and labour tribunals) have been analysed.

Full textThe chosen theme was the result of personal observations and examines the role of sustainable development in the urban context. Design solutions are leading to improving the quality of landscape as a response to unique circumstances and potential for the degraded land. This study is motivated by two research questions: (1) how to improve the landscape crafting ecologically smart and socially significant new public space? (2) how biodiversity in urban structure need o be understood for creating future landscape? (Luengo Añón and Rössler 2012). The selected area is located in Barcelona (Cataluña, Spain), near the Llobregat river and can be distinguished as highly degraded after times of economic growth of the city. Closeness to the river creates an opportunity to build a new relationship between city, agriculture, and river. Restore the ecological balance in this part is a priority. Therefore, starting point for the future concept is extracted the hidden potential of the site, which has a chance to become value place not only for people but also for wildlife
O tema escolhido foi o resultado de observações pessoais e examina o papel do desenvolvimento sustentável no contexto urbano. As soluções de design levam a melhorar a qualidade da paisagem, como resposta a circunstâncias únicas e a um futuro potencial para a terra degradada. Este estudo é motivado por duas questões de pesquisa: (1) como melhorar a paisagem, criando um novo espaço público, ecologicamente inteligente e socialmente significativo? (2) como a biodiversidade numa estrutura urbana precisa de ser entendida para criar uma paisagem futura? (Luengo Añón e Rössler 2012). A área selecionada está localizada em Barcelona (Cataluña, Espanha), perto do rio Llobregat e pode ser considerada como altamente degradada, depois de um tempo de crescimento econômico da cidade. A proximidade do rio cria uma oportunidade para construir uma nova relação entre cidade, agricultura e rio. Restaurar o equilíbrio ecológico, nesta parte, é uma prioridade. Portanto, o ponto de partida para o futuro conceito é extraído do potencial oculto do espaco, que tem a chance de se tornar num lugar de valor, não só para as pessoas, mas também para a vida selvagem

Full textThis research presented is the result of a long-term work on the potentials and limits of the Community Development Plans (CDP) and the conclusion of a sustained dialogue between the available knowledge regarding community development and the analysis of these experiences in the city of Barcelona. Chapter 1 is intended to describe the characteristics of the research project, defining the initial questions of the research, its main hypothesis and operationalization, the objectives, the methodological and technical aspects, and the epistemological considerations that guide it. Chapters 2 and 3 provide a theoretical approach to community work and take into account the social, political, organizational and professional context in which these experiences of community organization that we call Community Development Plans, are located, raised and consolidated. Chapters 4 and 5 present the results of the research. Chapter 4 describes a broad account of the CDP Antic, from its origins in 1995 until its completion in 2012 and four short stories from other city CDPs (Trinitat Nova, Roquetes, Poble Sec and Sagrada Família). I aim to contextualize this experience in the framework of community action in Barcelona, and to make a comparative analysis of the set of CDP studied, which has allowed to define some of the peculiarities that these processes have in their deployment in this city. Chapter 5 shows a collective reflection on the potentials and limits of the CDP, giving voice to the different participating actors that participate. Finally Chapter 6 collects the conclusions of the research and some guidelines for the improvement of community action in the city of Barcelona. In the research we have found that CDPs offer a useful space for common work on the improvement of social welfare among various social actors in the territory but have achieved little capacity for empowerment, transformation of power relations and improvement of the Living conditions of the populations. I explain the results, failing short of the initial expectations, for two reasons. On the one hand, by their weakness as a public policy since they have contributed few new public resources to the fight against social inequality, and, on the other, due to their low capacity to channel the innovation capacity of citizens.

Full textThe aim of this thesis is to study the ceremonies of royal entry in Barcelona in the fifteenth century. The articles included here cover a chronological arc that goes from the entrance of King Martin the Human, in 1397, until the visit of the queen Isabel of Castile, in 1481. This thesis attempts not only to describe and give visibility to these events, but also to show the existence of a ceremonial code, peculiar to the city, which governed all solemn reception being held in Barcelona throughout this century. It privileges a reading of these events from a sociopolitical perspective, analyzing them in the light of the historical circumstances that surround their punctual celebration. Are discussed in this thesis the solemn entries in Barcelona of Martin el Humano (1397), Maria de Luna (1400), Martin el Joven (1405), Fernando I (1412), Juan II (1458, 1472 and 1473), príncipe de Viana (1460 and 1461), Pedro de Portugal (1464), Juan de Calabria (1466), Fernando II (1461, 1473 and 1479) and Isabel de Castilla (1481). A comparative study of these receptions allows determining that, despite being the fruit of previous negotiations with the monarchy, the planning, organization and staging of every solemn entry is a matter whose responsibility is to the Barcelona municipal government. Using documentation from the Municipal Historical Archive of Barcelona, this thesis aims to demonstrate that it is possible to access the knowledge, analysis and interpretation of the ceremonies of solemn reception held in Barcelona in the fifteenth century.

Full textThe object of study of the thesis is the Barcelona City council in the period of peace of the Second Spanish Republic (1931-1936). Barcelona surpassed the one million of inhabitants, a 36% of the Catalan population and the most populated city of Spain. The institution was the most important administration of Catalonia and the second of Spain, even with the with the creation of the Generalitat of Catalonia, with a strong symbolic character, but focused on achieving the transfer of their competencies. The thesis does mainly use of historical sources: the documentation of the city council and the contemporary press. A first section explains the resistances to the changes that wanted to carry out the republican leaders, since big companies, the collection of taxes to the richest or to the church or debugging of the municipal staff. It concludes that there was a change of governors but not in the structure of power. The second section is a chronological narration about the main events, crises and controversies, the councilors who abandoned the municipal tasks, and also the change in the different formations, especially the Partit Republicà Radical, which help explain the loss of the majority of Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya. In the same section, the situation of the Generalitat of Catalonia is analyzed, in addition there is a narration of the period in which the city council is run by politicians not elected (October 1934 - February 1936), not much studied in spite of representing a quarter of the republican peace period. The third block explains the organization of the city council, the evolution in the organization chart, such as the operation of the city council (plenary sessions, commissions, positions, etc.), and the changes that are produced by the Llei Municipal de Catalunya, which creates a Government Commission with decision-making capacity that transforms the internal functioning of the city council. Finally, the fourth section explains the city council projects that could havetransformed Barcelona, plans such as unemployment benefits, urban reform, the construction of school groups or the question of the Great Barcelona. The thesis analyzes the evolution of the municipal policy in several aspects, which were inconclusive due to the beginning of the Spanish Civil War.

Full textThis thesis deals with identification of the different measures of hygiene and comfort that were carried out in the domestic interiors of the Eixample of Barcelona between 1888 and 1917, and the determination of the degree and mode in which they were implemented. The thesis is structured in two parts. The first part establishes the theoretical and methodological framework for the research: the historiographic aspects in the study of domestic interiors, the main issues on Catalonian art nouveau domestic interiors and, thirdly, the thesis proposes a methodology based on the mediating channels as an interpretative tool for plans of interior dwellings. The second part of the thesis directly addresses what consisted and how was held that implementation of hygiene and comfort in the domestic interiors. First of all, explores the predisposition of the Barcelona City Council to provide hygiene for all houses in Eixample area. The second chapter treats on the mediation of hygiene and comfort in mediating channels for architects, especially practical architecture books and architectural magazines. Thirdly, the thesis analyse the mediation of hygiene and comfort taught to housewives, through homemaking manuals and magazines specializing in home. And, finally, analysed the implementation of hygiene and comfort in 175 planes of dwellings built in the Eixample between 1888 and 1917. The interest of this thesis lies in the deepening of the knowledge about the achievement of hygiene and comfort in the domestic interiors of Eixample of late 19th century and beginning of the 20th century, but also in the methodological proposal. This methodological proposal makes it possible to incorporate new documentary sources for the study of the fin de siècle Interiors, but also makes possible to research the implementation of hygiene and comfort in a structured and numeric mode, and with an historical accuracy. This methodology is unusual in the Art history, but it is useful for the analysis of domestic interiors, and it could be extrapolate to other geographies and chronologies.

Full textThe public management of tourism in the province of Barcelona is a recent phenomenon. If we have a look to the provincial territory we find municipalities that were already on the map of European sun and beach tourist destinations in the 70's but it hasn’t been till the late 80's and early 90's that local governments have been aware about the need of developing the public management as a key element of the tourism system. In this scenario, the Barcelona Provincial Council, a supralocal public administration took a key role in shaping the public institutional system of tourism in the province of Barcelona. The Barcelona Provincial Council promoted a model of relationship with the territory that is substantially different from the role played till that moment by other public entities in Catalonia, especially other provincial governments and the regional government itself. The tourism management model of the Barcelona Provincial Council is based on two working axis: one classic axis for destination management organisations on product development and tourism promotion; and a second one based on the institutional cooperation through the creation of supralocal tourism management organisations. This model is exemplary and it hasn’t been replicated in other provincial governments. This doctoral thesis examines the creation of this management model by means of a gradual approach. Firstly, the research emphasizes the importance of tourism public management and contextualizes the previous research conducted in this field. Secondly, it analyses the phenomenon of tourism management in the contemporary period at international, national and, finally, at regional level. One chapter is dedicated to the tourism in Catalonia allowing recognize the territory and the evolution of its management. The evolution of the tourism the province of Barcelona over the last 20 years is discussed in depth in the last two chapters. On the one hand, through its characterization as a tourist area and, on the other hand, across the description of the main components of supply and demand leading indicators. Finally, it describes the configuration of a provincial management model which highlights the relationship between the Barcelona Provincial Council and the supralocal tourism management organisations, taking into account at the same time the evolution of the tourism management in the city of Barcelona.

The guilds of minters of the Crown of Aragon" Summary: This research analyzes the formation and organizational and functional development of the Royal Mint of Barcelona. The chronology of the study covers from the 13th century, in which the corporation is formed, until its dissolution following the Decree of Nova Planta (1716). It particularly focuses on the role of model, or paradigm, of the Royal Mint of Barcelona for the mints elsewhere in the Crown of Aragon –Valencia, Mallorca, Vila Chiesa, Cagliari and Perpignan–, both from an organizational and from a technological point of view. For this purpose, the study focuses on the mutual relations of these mints, the transfer of personnel between them and the corresponding legal and organizational consequences. The study approaches, from an institutional perspective, the reality of the mint in two main areas. The first is the internal knowledge of the day-to-day production of coins, focusing especially in the symbiotic cooperation of two different bodies, although autonomous in nature and mission. These bodies are, on the one hand, the Guild or College of Minters, a corporation for the personnel involved in the manufacturing of coins –with its Chapter and its Court of Justice– and, on the other hand, the Mint, that is, the establishment in which the minting of coinage is verified. The second area of study is the incardination of the Royal Mint in the municipal and royal governments, since, in a varying degree, it depended on both of them from a policital and administrative point of view. In all the different areas considered the personnel involved, their functions, their organization and the work processes within the organizational framework are analyzed.

The study raises an investigation that aims to explain the content of the spectacular offer of Paral·lel. The analysis of the scenic contents as mirror, reflection, expression of a way of being, doing and thinking of the Catalan popular classes and at the same time contributors to the story of these social segments on their way of understanding their role In the history of the country, its political position, and its way of seeing the world and life. All this helps us explain, also from Paral·lel, the reason for the political evolution of the Catalan popular classes in the first four decades of the 20th century. So the first block of the study raises a general overview of the Parallel from its foundation to the Republican era, which could be considered the decades of expansion and maturity of the Paral·lel scenic offer. The point that we dedicate to the concentration of the show in the urban plot of Barcelona, on Avinguda del Paral·lel, "Why in the Parallel?

Full textThis doctoral thesis report expounds the results of a research about the transformations of Barcelona during the 20th century. The focus is put on the strategies of the urban agents regarding the location of economic activities and the construction of the city model as a basis for specific urban policies. After conceptualizing two historical periods, the era of mass production and the era of flexible production, the main objective is to verify whether during the 20th century Barcelona transformed from an industrial city to a creative city. Regarding the location of economic activities, through the analysis of a previously unknown source, the workshops and factories that existed in 1929 are located at a very comprehensive level of detail. These data allow the study of the spatial structure of production in the era of the mass production. With the analysis of the evolution of the main factories, it is characterized the spatial structure of production in the present. Concerning the construction of the city model, the discourses of the main urban agents in each of the two periods are studied. Subsequently, these discourses are related to the concrete practices of the agents to know what interests guided their behaviors. That information is related, then, with the evolution of the spatial structures of production that are studied in parallel, so that it is possible to reach a series of conclusions. The first one is that Barcelona was an industrial city during the era of mass production. This is confirmed by the study of industrial location in 1929 and the discourses of the main urban agents of the moment. In second place, in the era of flexible production Barcelona did not transform into a creative city. Although the model of the elites of the city are close to this idea, the analysis allows to affirm that the materiality of the city is marked, conversely, by the precariousness of the working class. However, the report ends up with a reflection on the emancipating potential of creativity, that must become one of the cornerstones of any project of social emancipation.

Full textThe Bauhaus (1919-1933) was created to integrate two different types of education: academic and arts and crafts, after the unification of Weimar's arts and crafts and fine arts Institutions. The Bauhaus pedagogical heritage has been extremely influential, and this influence has been thoroughly researched in the case of other European and North-American Institutions, such as Ulm, Basel and the Black Mountain College. La Bauhaus a les escoles d'art i disseny de Barcelona [1959-1968] researches this influence in Barcelona following our ground question: how were the Bauhaus pedagogical ideas introduced in the arts and design Academic Institutions located in Barcelona during the 1959-1968 period? To answer this question we have divided our research in two «nuclei». The first «nucleus» focuses on the 1919-1933 period Bauhaus pedagogical ideas, and the analysis of this period's documentation and curriculum developments against the background of the cultural, political and economic context's influence on Bauhaus' pedagogical methods. The Bauhaus model specificities are highlighted here mainly after the methods and documentation produced by three of its key teachers: Itten (1888-1967), Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946) and Albers (1888-1976) The second «nucleus» studies Barcelona's art and design Academic Institutions during the 1959-1968 period, in which the academic context of the city is transformed and the design degrees are professionalized. We'll conduct our research of the introduction of the Bauhaus in Barcelona by means of two different approaches. We'll first analyze the relevance of the Bauhaus in the public sphere. In order to determine and understand its importance, we’ll conduct an analysis of press clippings from the period published in the two most influential local media outlets: La Vanguardia and Destino. After this, we’ll focus our research in the three key art and design schools in Barcelona: Massana (1929), Elisava (1961) and Eina (1967). Our research of their curricula and documentation will enable us to present a comprehensive analysis of this period formal studies’ structure. We’ll link the Bauhaus’ pedagogical ideas and Barcelona Academic Institutions proposals in our Conclusions.

On the other hand, it analyses the body modifications and the changes in corporeality which are necessaries and relevant for the insertion and adaptation in a new context after the migration process. Corporeality is a significant symbol of religious adscription therefore in this research we have observed and analyzed changes and continuities of the body and corporeality as part of the adaptation process of immigrant Sikhs inhabiting Barcelona. In this way, we start from the premise that bodies -and by extension the corporealities too- are elements at the disposal of individuals and groups that sometimes are determined by the context in which they live, but they are also a place for agency. Bodies are imbued with political and religious ideologies which can be explicitly embodied, but they are also capable of being negotiated depending on the circumstances. For this research I have done multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork for an eighteen-month period in Barcelona, London, Delhi and Punjab.

Full textThis thesis studies the Fira de Santa Llúcia of Barcelona which is dedicated to Nativity figures, cribs, constructions and other objects related with Christmas celebration. It takes place during the month before Christmas at Cathedral Avenue and is documented since 1786. To achieve the objective of the study, the celebration, the relationships between stallholders, the transmission by inheritance, the social relations network and the relation of the local authorities with the group of stallholders (i.e., the spatial anthropology), have been studied. The existing precedents have been studied in the context of a city devoted to fairs, with a long tradition of them. Together with interviews and ethnographic observation, the elaboration of a qualitative study has been pursued, without renouncing to quantitative studies when the treatment of information sources has required it. Different tendencies in Nativity scenes and figures, and their influence in the artisans of Fira de Santa Llúcia have been also studied. Historical analysis is crucial to understand many of the aspects that shape the contemporay fair. For the analysis of the present fair, the protagonists, the stallholders have been invited to talk. Fira de Santa Llúcia is a specialised fair that is currently structured in three sectors. First, the sector of figures and complements of Nativity scenes, known as the figures sector. Second, the sector called green, which sells plants, threes, decoration and home festive complements for Christmas celebration. Finally, a third sector that has been added in the last years, is the craftworks sector, called the hippies sector. This division of the fair is a result of its historical background, but it is not adjusted to reality. The current role of the stalls and the typology and roles developed by the stallholders, the working systems, the strategies for labour and family conciliation, the organisation of space and time, the partial or exclusive dedication as economic motivation, the weight of family tradition and the generational replacement have been examined. Moreover, the relations between the government bodies (i.e., the Fira de Santa Llúcia association and the city council) and between them and the stallholders have been revised. The distinctive traits of the fair, and how the stallholders see the future of it, have been analysed. It has been observed that, although every year the public space occupied by the stalls is put out to tender, the stalls ownership is inherited by the next generation in the family. But that stall ownership inheritance is not associated with a knowledge transmission and the archetype of the stallholder that is an artisan, works at home and benefits from the earnings of the fair to complement a short year income is being replaced by a more pragmatic stallholder dedicated to resell products which not always are handcrafted.
