Jazz Age Barcelona focuses the lenses of cultural studies and urban studies on the avant-garde character of the city during the cosmopolitan Jazz Age, delving into the cultural forces that flourished in Europe between the late 1910s and early 1930s. Studying literary journalism, photography, and the city of Barcelona itself, Robert Davidson argues that the explosion of jazz culture and the avant-garde was predominantly fostered by journalists and their positive reception of innovative new art forms and radical politics. Using periodicals and recently rediscovered archival material, Davidson considers the relationship between the political pressures of a brutal class war, the grasp of a repressive dictatorship, and the engagement of the city's young intellectuals with Barcelona's culture and environment. Also analysing the 1929 International Exhibition and the down-and-out Raval District - which housed many of the Age's clubs and bars - Jazz Age Barcelona is an insightful portrait of one of the twentieth century's most culturally rich times and places. 410 0$aStudies in book and print culture. 606 $aJazz$xPolitical aspects$zSpain$zBarcelona$xHistory 606 $aJazz$zSpain$zBarcelona$xHistory and criticism$y20th century 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / Books & Reading$2bisacsh 607 $aBarcelona (Spain)$xCivilization$y20th century 607 $aBarcelona (Spain)$xSocial life and customs$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJazz$xPolitical aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aJazz$xHistory and criticism 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / Books & Reading. 676 $a946/.72074 700 $aDavidson$b Robert A.$f1970-$01035586 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458425503321 996 $aJazz Age Barcelona$92455358 997 $aUNINA
