It does so by examining political speeches and scripts of the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games ceremonies, with special focus on Xavier Rubert de Ventós's screenplay for the reception of the flame in Empúries; the urban renewal of Barcelona directed by architect Oriol Bohigas; and fictional narratives by Quim Monzó, Francisco Casavella, Eduardo Mendoza, and Sergi Pàmies.Contemporary Hispanic and Lusophone CulturesUrban renewalSpainBarcelonaElectronic books.Urban renewal307.76094672Illas Edgar859402MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463011503321Thinking Barcelona1917952UNINA
