Sommario/riassunto

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.
