Ebook: From the Theater to the Plaza: Spectacle, Protest, and Urban Space in Twenty-First-Century Madrid

Theatre, urban development, and the enduring struggle over the right to the city.

This innovative study sketches the physical and imaginary contours of Lavapiés, one of Madrid’s most iconic neighbourhoods. By linking its role as a site and subject of Madrid’s theatre tradition with its contemporary struggles over gentrification, Feinberg offers new approaches for understanding how culture and capital produce the contemporary city.
