This fully illustrated, edited volume brings together fresh insights into the changing urban space of Barcelona from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present day. The volume will ...contribute to the excavation of the avantgarde in Barcelona, as well as its legacy in the post-war period, although its primary focus will be on the relationship between environment, identity and performance as explored by countercultural artists and communities from the 1960s to the present day.
En junio de 2015, el periodista y amigo Marc Andreu (2015) me invitó a participar en un diálogo que tendría lugar con motivo de la presentación de su libro Barris, veïns i democràcia. El moviment ...ciutadà i la reconstrucció de Barcelona (1968-1986). El evento tuvo lugar en la sede del Col·legi de Periodistes de Catalunya y, junto a mí, en la mesa se sentaban Jordi Borja, geógrafo, urbanista y uno de los artífices del Modelo Barcelona, Marina Subirats, socióloga y ex regidora del Ajuntament de la capital catalana, y Lluís Rabell, en aquel entonces presidente de la Federació d'Associació de Veïns de Barcelona (FAVB) y futuro candidato por Catalunya Sí que es Pot a las elecciones al Parlament. La idea era comentar el libro, pero también repasar la historia urbanística de la ciudad, el papel de los movimientos sociales en su diseño y construcción y plantear los retos inmediatos del recién elegido Gobierno municipal de Barcelona en comú (BeC), con la alcaldesa Ada Colau a la cabeza.

Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) is an aggressive malignancy,resulting as the third cause of death by cancer each year. The management of patients with HCC is complex,as both the tumour stage and any ...underlying liver disease must be considered conjointly. Although surveillance by imaging,clinical and biochemical parameters is routinely performed,a lot of patients suffering from cirrhosis have an advanced stage HCC at the first diagnosis. Advanced stage HCC includes heterogeneous groups of patients with different clinical condition and radiological features and sorafenib is the only approved treatment according to Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer. Since the introduction of sorafenib in clinical practice,several phase Ⅲ clinical trials have failed to demonstrate any superiority over sorafenib in the frontline setting. Locoregional therapies have also been tested as first line treatment,but their role in advanced HCC is still matter of debate. No single agent or combination therapies have been shown to impact outcomes after sorafenib failure. Therefore this review will focus on the range of experimental therapeutics for patients with advanced HCC and highlights the successes and failures of these treatments as well as areas for future development. Specifics such as dose limiting toxicity and safety profile in patients with liver dysfunction related to the underlying chronic liver disease should be considered when developing therapies in HCC. Finally,robust validated and reproducible surrogate end-points as well as predictive biomarkers should be defined in future randomized trials.
This paper explores how the so-called Bilbao effect and Barcelona Model are diffused internationally through what may be called urban policy tourism: short trips made to Bilbao and Barcelona by ...policy-makers to learn from their regeneration in the past 15 years. The paper reveals for the first time the substantial extent of this practice and contextualises it within a wider phenomenon of urban policy transfer and the international 'motion' of urban policies. Although both models are internationally known for a set of elements, this research shows that in fact the messages mutate and shift as they circulate through the policy circuits. Ultimately, however, the popularity of the Bilbao and Barcelona models suggests a process of global urban policy convergence.
El objetivo de este artículo es contribuir a la historiografía del contexto artístico de Barcelona de las últimas décadas. Para ello toma como caso de estudio el periodo de formación del Centre d'Art ...Santa Mònica (CASM). El CASM se estableció como centro de arte en Barcelona entre 2003 y 2007 siguiendo el modelo "Kunsthalle". El autor busca establecer la adecuación del centro en un mapa institucional dedicado al arte contemporáneo que estaba en construcción y desarrollo. El artículo también establece un paralelismo entre el CASM y los modelos de trabajo en la producción artística en el contexto internacional antes de la crisis de 2008. Además, busca situar históricamente el modelo instituido por el CASM en el origen del debate sobre la necesidad de un centro de arte en Barcelona. La investigación se basa en fuentes y documentos originales, reconstruyendo la historia del CASM en relación con otras instituciones paralelas en Barcelona y concluye con un análisis de los efectos y consecuencias de la interferencia política en el contexto institucional del arte de la ciudad.
•The Intercultural City Programme (ICC) of Barcelona argues that the public spaces could be constructed and transformed by triggering from above.•The inherent problem representations and expected ...outcomes of the ICC Program as an urban integration policy model, do not sufficiently address the important aspects of socio-spatial inequalities which stem from the complex power inequalities.•The ICC Programme of Barcelona does not fully address the multi-actor and complex character of the social production of space which includes unequal power relations.•The ICC Programme problematizes the presence of immigrants in public spaces as a trigger of conflict.
Since 2008, the COE has been promoting interculturalism as a city-level integration policy model under the name Intercultural Cities Programme (ICC) to facilitate intercultural interaction, combat prejudice and discrimination, and enhance inclusion and social cohesion. The member cities within the Intercultural City Network have developed several policy programme activities to create open and inclusive cities. These programmes present diversity as a challenge that needs to be managed and, at the same time, as an advantage that would increase economic growth. The concrete actions and objectives of these policy programmes include managing and creating public spaces that facilitate peaceful encounters, inclusion, and convivencia.
Since policies are usually designed to address problems, it is important to investigate what the problems are perceived to be. Accordingly, by adopting Carol Bacchi's (2009) WPR (What is the Problem Represented to Be?) approach in policy analysis as an analytical framework, through semi-structured interviews and content analysis, this article illuminates how public spaces are conceived and represented in the Barcelona ICC program in relation to solving its inherent problematisations. The findings suggest that the ICC program conceives public spaces as settings of conflict that have to be managed through intercultural policy interventions, neglecting the complexity and multi-actor characteristic of the social construction and production of space.

Este artículo analiza la pobreza urbana en Barcelona durante la etapa de la Restauración partiendo de un acercamiento al fenómeno de la mendicidad. En concreto, se exploran las políticas municipales ...conectadas con la prevención y represión de su ejercicio en tres frentes de actuación. Desde la utilización de fuentes primarias del gobierno municipal, se profundiza en las características de los modelos asilares implementados para la contención de esa problemática, en los mecanismos y dispositivos de vigilancia, fiscalización y filiación que se aplicaron en su combate y en las iniciativas de reorganización del sistema benéfico tejidas por los líderes cívicos.
This study presents the details of the execution of an iconographic sculptural program made in 1802 to decorate the Casa Lonja in Barcelona, but also as a tribute to a royal visit. A methodological ...line is proposed that describes the reason for its realization, supported by the appearance of the Escuela Gratuita de Diseño and the interests of the Junta de Comercio. The objectives are to demonstrate the importance of a material such as plaster for the training of its students and situate the panorama of Catalan sculpture of the time, with artists far from the use of marble for economic reasons as one of the most relevant conclusions. Despite everything, one of the patrimonial riches of the current Reial Acadèmia Catalana de Belles Arts de Sant Jordi resides in its current collection of plaster figures, among those that is recovered for art those that one day formed part of its history and that only some images and specific documents allow us to intuit its scope and specify its location.
