Xavier Pons Casacuberta ens ofereix una primera síntesi sobre la minoria religiosa jueva i la recent societat conversa barceloneses entre els anys 1391, any de la quasi destrucció del call de ...Barcelona, i el 1440, data del darrer any en què, segons l’autor, apareix l’adjectiu conversus als documents, és a dir un total de cinquanta anys. Es tracta de la publicació quasi fil per randa de la seva tesi doctoral llegida a la Universitat de Barcelona (2015), amb la diferència fonamental de què els dos-cents vint-i-sis documents de l’«Apèndix I» de la tesi han estat reduïts en la publicació a només cinquanta-cinc per raons òbvies. Obtingué la XIV Beca Ramon Noguera per realitzar el present estudi.
El artículo analiza a través de una selección de películas cómo el cine ha retratado la Barcelona postolímpica. Se distinguen a grandes rasgos dos maneras básicas de representar cinematográficamente ...la capital catalana: la primera muestra una Barcelona idealizada, análoga a la que se vende a los turistas, contribuyendo así, de forma más o menos voluntaria, a reforzar y promocionar tanto el modelo Barcelona de transformación urbana como la marca Barcelona; la segunda ofrece una mirada más crítica sobre la ciudad, centrándose en algunos de los problemas que la afectan (especulación, gentrificación, desigualdades sociales, exclusión y explotación de los inmigrantes) y retratando la existencia de los que viven en el margen de la Barcelona turística. Partiendo de esta distinción, se analizan Todo sobre mi madre (1999) de Pedro Almodóvar, L’auberge espagnole (2002) de Cédric Klapisch y Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008) de Woody Allen para ilustrar la primera modalidad de representación, y En construcción (2001) de José Luis Guerín y Biutiful (2010) de Alejandro González Iñárritu para ejemplificar la segunda.

Relying on extensive fieldwork, in this paper I give voice to long-term residents in the city center of Barcelona, Spain, and explore how they feel about the tourism-led transformation of the place in which they live. I found that the alteration of the place causes the breaking down of emotional and material attachments that people have with the area and, in turn, the process leads to feelings of expulsion and mental distress. Therefore, I discuss the concept of place-based displacement within the context of touristification, and suggest that housing market disruptions caused by tourism and short-term rentals are insufficient in understanding why communities resist and oppose the penetration of tourism in their places. Drawing on the conceptualization of displacement as suggested by gentrification scholars and from contributions regarding the psychology of place, the paper argues that, regardless of whether spatial dislocation takes place, touristification disintegrates the places people belong to and rely on for their daily lives, which therefore leads communities to experience disruptions to their mental health as well as feelings of dispossession, anger, and frustration.
In recent years, the proliferation of tourists in the urban environment has generated several issues in the functioning of cities. As urban tourism has historically been linked to cultural and ...architectural attractions, this increased tourism pressure has involved and often compromised the common heritage uses. Therefore, many cases saw the implementation of measures that, if on the one hand reduced tourist flows, on the other also drastically restricted the access for residents and totally altered the sense of place in the community. This article explores this topic by applying a Critical Discourse Analysis methodology to the dispute that took place in Barcelona regarding the restricted access to Park Güell. The main results of this work concern the instrumentalisation of both the UNESCO label and participatory processes in the case of Barcelona, along with the failure of regulative measures to solve the problems related to tourism pressure. The article advocates the usage of more qualitative-oriented analyses to address the relationships between urban planning, heritage management and tourism management.
El projecte d’eixample d’Ildefons Cerdà per al pla de Barcelona proposava un traçat il·limitat basat en una retícula moderna de carrers amplis i grans illes edificades. Una característica del traçat ...era l’homogeneïtat de la forma urbana. Factors com l’activitat agrícola prèvia, però, van condicionar el creixement de l’Eixample en dos teixits urbans diferenciats. D’una banda, es fa referència a l’eixample central, sobre un sòl agrícola de secà de baixa qualitat, que va formalitzar una illa amb edificació residencial perimetral i usos productius a la planta baixa i el pati interior. De l’altra, hi ha el Poblenou, més resistent al canvi d’ús pel valor del sòl agrícola de regadiu i per l’aïllament que implicava el sistema ferroviari, que va formalitzar un model amb edificació de poca alçada i una ocupació total del sòl. L’objectiu d’aquest article és fer un estudi comparatiu dels dos models de desenvolupament d’eixample a partir de la revisió històrica de la seva evolució, però també de l’anàlisi d’indicadors sobre la seva morfologia urbana actual.
This article shows the methodology and the main figures of the local and regional economic impact generated by cruise activity. This article is pioneering in combining different issues: estimating ...the impact of the cruise port activity, presenting these impacts disaggregated at a sectoral level, using a rigorous methodology and carrying out extensive fieldwork. It is demonstrated that all sectors, not just traditional tourism-related sectors, benefit from cruise tourism. In order to test and apply our methodology we focus the analysis on the Port of Barcelona, which has become the leading cruise port in the Mediterranean area.
This work explores the double effect of urban compactness on building energy performance in a Mediterranean climate, namely the increase of urban heat island (UHI) intensity and the decrease of solar ...radiation availability on building façades. The energy demand of a test apartment has been calculated under varying conditions of UHI intensity and solar radiation for different urban textures. Results show robust relationships between the energy demand and the ‘site coverage ratio’ of the buildings. This demonstrates that compact urban textures are more energy efficient than less dense urban patterns in a Mediterranean climate.
Theories and concepts for understanding the political logic of social movements' everyday activities, particularly those which relate directly to political goals, have been increasingly important ...since the late 1970s. The notion of 'prefigurative politics' is becoming established in this debate and refers to scenarios where protesters express the political 'ends' of their actions through their 'means', or where they create experimental or 'alternative' social arrangements or institutions. Both meanings share the idea that prefiguration anticipates or partially actualises goals sought by movements. This article uses narratives and observations gathered in social movement 'free spaces', autonomous social centres in Barcelona, to evaluate, critique and rearticulate the concept. Participants' attention to the 'means' through which protest is carried out and emphasis on projects such as experimentation with alternative social and organisational forms suggest they engage in prefigurative politics. However, the article uses these examples to dispute the key ways through which prefiguration has been defined, arguing that it can better be deployed in referring to the relations, and tensions, between a set of political priorities. Understood as such, prefigurative politics combines five processes: collective experimentation, the imagining, production and circulation of political meanings, the creating of new and future-oriented social norms or 'conduct', their consolidation in movement infrastructure, and the diffusion and contamination of ideas, messages and goals to wider networks and constituencies.

Barcelona vem investindo na replicação do seu “Modelo Barcelona” de operação urbana desde o projeto para as Olimpíadas de 1992, sendo Poblenou uma das áreas estratégicas com muitas intervenções ...urbanas e processos de gentrificação. Diante das transformações constantes, este artigo busca avançar em novos conhecimenots sobre os impactos mais recentes da gentrificação em Poblenou. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exporatória sobre a evolução do estoque imobiliário, valorização da moradia, perfil populacional e fotografia atual da gentrificação. Apesar da complexidade que este tema envolve, esta análise de Poblenou contribui para trazer maior clareza sobre os impactos negativos destas operações. Assim, é possível observar a evolução desse processo de gentrificação que se encontra consolidado em certas áreas e, em outras, em estágio parcial.
