"Street Matters links urban policy and planning with street protests in Brazil. It begins with the 2013 demonstrations that ostensibly began over public transportation fare increases but quickly grew to address larger questions of inequality. This inequality is physically manifested across Brazil, most visibly in its sprawling urban favelas. The authors propose an understanding of the social and spatial dynamics at play that is based on property, labor, and security. They stitch together the history of plans for urban space with the popular protests that Brazilians organized to fight for property and land. They embed the history of civil society within the history of urban planning and its institutionalization to show how urban and regional planning played a key role in the management of the social conflicts surrounding land ownership. If urban and regional planning at times benefited the expansion of civil rights, it also often worked on behalf of class exploitation, deepening spatial inequalities and conflicts embedded in different city spaces"--

This collection of essays presents an innovative and provocative set of concepts to understand the spaces of the Americas through local lenses. The disciplines of architecture, urban design, landscape, and planning share the fundamental belief that space and place matter; however, the overwhelming majority of canonical knowledge in these fields originates in another continent and is external to the lived experience in such regions. The book introduces seven new concepts that have not been sufficiently addressed, and would make a significant contribution to the field: namely, gridded spaces; spaces of agriculture; space as image; watered spaces; spaces as labor; racialized spaces; and gendered spaces. This book, thus, introduces a broader conceptual framework to foster the analysis of the spatial histories of the Americas.

"Modern Architecture in Latin America: Art, Technology, and Utopia is an introductory text on the issues, polemics, and works that represent the complex processes of political, economic, and cultural modernization in the twentieth century. The number and types of projects varied greatly from country to country, but, as a whole, the region produced a significant body of architecture that has never before been presented in a single volume in any language. Modern Architecture in Latin America is the first comprehensive history of this important production. Designed as a survey and focused on key examples/paradigms arranged chronologically from 1903 to 2003, this volume covers a myriad of countries; historical, social, and political conditions; and projects/developments that range from small houses to urban plans to architectural movements. The book is structured so that it can be read in a variety of ways--as a historically developed narrative of modern architecture in Latin America, as a country-specific chronology, or as a treatment of traditions centered on issues of art, technology, or utopia. This structure allows readers to see the development of multiple and parallel branches/historical strands of architecture and, at times, their interconnections across countries. The authors provide a critical evaluation of the movements presented in relationship to their overall goals and architectural transformations. "--

En Espagne, la question de la nationalité au cinéma se pose de façon complexe, car elle superpose constamment la nationalité régionale ou des Autonomies à la nation ou aux nations. Par ailleurs, le cinéma espagnol est lié à l’Europe, et l’hispanité lui apporte les caractéristiques propres à une communauté transnationale linguistique, culturelle et historique. « Cine, nación y nacionalidades en España » explore les interconnexions, les associations et les porosités qui remettent en cause une lecture étroite du concept de nation. El cine forma parte hoy en día del patrimonio nacional. Sin embargo, la cuestión de la nacionalidad de los productos fílmicos está relacionada con diferentes aspectos: industrial, económico, historiográfico y estético. En cuanto al criterio oficial, se vincula habitualmente al espacio de producción; sin embargo, la nacionalidad del director de la película o de los actores, la ubicación de los espacios de rodaje, el idioma, o los acentos, la relación con unas corrientes estéticas o con géneros cinematográficos nacionalmente marcados pueden también ser considerados como tipos de clasificación. En España, el problema se plantea de forma más compleja que en otros muchos países ya que sobrepone casi de manera constante la nacionalidad regional o autonómica y la nación o las naciones. La película se convierte así en un territorio inestable y de difícil percepción, suponiendo interferencias que desacreditan cualquier análisis ignorante de la diversidad de los contextos. Por otra parte, el cine español ya no se puede concebir desconectado del resto de Europa, y la hispanidad sigue aportando elementos propios de una comunidad transnacional lingüística, cultural e histórica. Reflexionar sobre la nacionalidad en el cine supone explorar las interconexiones, las mezclas, las porosidades que ponen en tela de juicio una lectura limitada y estrecha de un concepto como el de «nación». Este es el camino por donde este libro pretende ir.
