  • The Inclusion of the Libraries of Barcelona in the Cultural 'Map'
    Date : 08/07/2008 The inclusion of the Libraries of Barcelona in the cultural ‘map’, or how to turn a need into a virtue. Marta Clari, Executive Director, Institut de Cultura de Barcelona Mercè Muñoz Technical Secretary, Biblioteques de Barcelona ([email protected]) Meeting: 149. Metropolitan Libraries with Public Libraries Simultaneous Interpretation: Not available WORLD LIBRARY AND INFORMATION CONGRESS: 74TH IFLA GENERAL CONFERENCE AND COUNCIL 10-14 August 2008, Québec, Canada http://www.ifla.org/IV/ifla74/index.htm A few days after receiving the invitation to present the Libraries of Barcelona in this forum, the result was published of a survey carried out annually by the City Council of Barcelona to rate the degree of satisfaction of the citizens with regard to the public services provided by the municipality: the public libraries took the top spot in the survey, being the most highly rated service by the citizens of Barcelona. Objectively this is good news, but it is even more so if you take into account the situation of the public libraries of the city just 15 years ago. So as to be able to understand what has happened in the last 15 years, it is necessary to know briefly their history, for without knowing it, it is difficult to understand how a major cosmopolitan city, capital of a culture with a thousand year tradition, with the capacity of organising the successful Olympic Games of 1992, to quote a reference that gave the city international recognition, still in that year didn’t have a plan for its system of public libraries, and moreoverto attend a population of more than 1,600,000 inhabitants there was only 6,650 m2 of public library spaces, divided between 15 facilities (in some cases small libraries of less than 200 m2).

It is an exceptional moment that is connected with the artistic life of the City, which links with what happens the rest of the year, which serves as a window to show everything that has been cooking and that dialogues with its talent, with its citi- zens and with your questions. We are committed to creating a model that is attractive not only for its -necessary- rooster of invited figures, but also for the artistic value, for a set of national and international alliances and for its rigor and coherence. For us it will be a priority to weave relationships with all those artists, festivals or artistic events that are offering a possible response of interest to those relevant topics that we are all concerned about.

  • Catalan Modernism and Vexillology
    Catalan Modernism and Vexillology Sebastià Herreros i Agüí Abstract Modernism (Modern Style, Modernisme, or Art Nouveau) was an artistic and cultural movement which flourished in Europe roughly between 1880 and 1915. In Catalonia, because this era coincided with movements for autonomy and independence and the growth of a rich bourgeoisie, Modernism developed in a special way. Differing from the form in other countries, in Catalonia works in the Modern Style included many symbolic elements reflecting the Catalan nationalism of their creators. This paper, which follows Wladyslaw Serwatowski’s 20 ICV presentation on Antoni Gaudí as a vexillographer, studies other Modernist artists and their flag-related works. Lluís Domènech i Montaner, Josep Puig i Cadafalch, Josep Llimona, Miquel Blay, Alexandre de Riquer, Apel·les Mestres, Antoni Maria Gallissà, Joan Maragall, Josep Maria Jujol, Lluís Masriera, Lluís Millet, and others were masters in many artistic disciplines: Architecture, Sculpture, Jewelry, Poetry, Music, Sigillography, Bookplates, etc. and also, perhaps unconsciously, Vexillography. This paper highlights several flags and banners of unusual quality and national significance: Unió Catalanista, Sant Lluc, CADCI, Catalans d’Amèrica, Ripoll, Orfeó Català, Esbart Català de Dansaires, and some gonfalons and flags from choral groups and sometent (armed civil groups). New Banner, Basilica of the Monastery of Santa Maria de Ripoll Proceedings of the 24th International Congress of Vexillology, Washington, D.C., USA 1–5 August 2011 © 2011 North American Vexillological Association (www.nava.org) 506 Catalan Modernism and Vexillology Background At the 20th International Conference of Vexillology in Stockholm in 2003, Wladyslaw Serwatowski presented the paper “Was Antonio Gaudí i Cornet (1852–1936) a Vexillographer?” in which he analyzed the vexillological works of the Catalan architectural genius Gaudí.

  • Obsesión Definición: Idea, Deseo O Imagen Que Aparece De Forma Reiterada Y Persistente Y Que El Sujeto No Puede Alejar Voluntariamente De La Conciencia
    obsesión Definición: idea, deseo o imagen que aparece de forma reiterada y persistente y que el sujeto no puede alejar voluntariamente de la conciencia. Posee un carácter compulsivo y adquiere una con- dición penosa y angustiante. (Diccionario María Moliner) La obsesión es un pensamiento, una imagen o un impulso incontrolable y persistente que invade nuestra mente por la fuerza; nos asedia, nos angus- tia, nos aísla y nos paraliza. En un intento de aliviar la intensa ansiedad que causan estas ideas intrusas, los afectados a menudo recurren a actos, tan improductivos como irresisti- bles, o rituales compulsivos —por ejemplo, repetir palabras o números, rezar de forma desconsolada, lavarse las manos sin parar, comprobar una y otra vez si las puertas están cerradas u ordenar con meti- culosidad durante horas los objetos que les rodean. Las obsesiones y comportamientos repetitivos que adoptan quienes los sufren para calmar la ansie- dad, absorben su atención, perturban el equilibrio mental, interfieren en sus ocupaciones y relaciones, consumen su energía vital y, a la larga, socavan su bienestar físico, psicológico y social. En medicina y psicología clínica, la obsesión crónica que causa intensa angustia y altera seriamente las actividades diarias de la persona se cataloga como trastorno de ansiedad obsesivo-compulsivo. En la actualidad se desconoce la causa exacta de dicho trastorno. La teoría más aceptada considera que es consecuencia de una mezcla del equipaje gené- tico, la personalidad, el medio social y los efectos de experiencias traumáticas.

This principle is enshrined in the “Barcelona declaration: the city and people with disabilities” that to date has been signed by 400 European cities.

  • BREU HISTÒRIA DE LA DIAGONAL Lluís Permanyer
    BREU HISTÒRIA DE LA DIAGONAL Lluís Permanyer La Diagonal és el carrer més important del Pla de l’Eixample. L’urbanista Ildefons Cerdà li va atorgar unes característiques que el singularitzen en el sentit físic: llargada, amplada i posició. Els seus onze kilòmetres, els noranta- dos metres de la zona universitària i la forma com talla la trama de les mansanes evidencia un protagonisme indiscutible. Supera el Paral·lel i la Meridiana, que constituïen el que Cerdà va qualificar com a “via transcendental”, és a dir, avingudes ràpides per unir nuclis de població allunyats. En aquest cas: Sarrià, Gràcia, Clot i Poblenou. Totes tres van ser les úniques que van rebre de Cerdà el nom, ja que els altres carrers van ser batejats per Víctor Balaguer. El seu desenvolupament va ser més aviat lent i en tres grans etapes ben diferenciades. PRIMERA ETAPA La primera etapa va girar al voltant de la influència del passeig de Gràcia. En efecte, el 1884 va començar amb timidesa l’urbanització entre l’esmentat passeig i Pau Claris. El 1896 s’estenia ja entre Bruc i Tuset, que no era res més que el camp del mateix nom, que era el del mas i el seu propietari. El 1901 aquell extrem de la nova Barcelona era tan inhòspit, que el marquès de Robert es reconeixia més segur portant pistola en arribar tard a casa, quan venia del Liceu. Es curiós que abans d’acabar segle XIX (1891) li fos canviat el nom, almenys en aquell sector evocat fins ara, i que pertanyia a Gràcia; li van atorgar el d’ Argüelles.
