Sommario/riassunto

Henri Lefebvre and the Spanish Urban Experience is the first book to thoroughly apply the French urban philosopher's thought on cities to the culture and literature of Spain. Fraser shows how Lefebvre's complex view of city as a mobile phenomenon is relevant to understanding a variety of Spanish cultural products-from urban plans and short writing on the urban expereince during the nineteenth century to urban theories, cultural practices and literary fiction of the



twentieth century, pushing on to interrogate even te apperance of Mediterranean space and Barcelona in recent videogames.
